Although Dorian's not officially out as genderqueer until book three, it's Non-binary Awareness Week, and it felt weird to me to leave xem out. There are loads of minor non-binary characters in the series, but Dorian and Ant are the two major characters that fall under that umbrella.

I do! Thank you. I set up a form so I can grab people's emails to send a link to the ARC I'm hosting on BookSirens, and it has all the information and content warnings on it. If BookSirens is too inconvenient I can email a copy of the ebook too.

New short horror!
Something's wrong with Phaeton's brain & the warped way it perceives reality, but his dreams are clear & vivid. Day doesn't exist & a black void is the all he sees outside his windows. It's just the way it's always been. Right?

Grab it in my Payhip shop: payhip.com/b/4JQo0

I'm still looking for ARC readers! You got plenty of time to read, it won't be out until September, and it's already up on Goodreads if you want to add it to your 'want to read' list. If you know anyone who might be interested in an ARC, please sent them my way! People seem to really like it so far🥰

I had doors like this in my old apartment. In the middle of the handle there is a lock that looks like it can be turned, but it presses in and clicks. Like a button. Then it's locked.

On the paper was a list of my neighbors living at my apartment building, whether they voted or not in past elections, and with their last names blacked out.

The one time I responded to an organizer's text, they pushed back aggressively & I got so frustrated I was like 'I'm done.' I don't even register with a party anymore because the Democratic party blackmailed me one year ('We know your voting record. If you don't vote, we'll show your neighbors')

It went okay, the person was pretty nice and said since they just started requiring proof of bills for every recertification, he wouldn't freeze my benefits like they would normally (which would have been awful since I'd had no idea). He made it super easy.

The 1 hour window is the queue. I'm taking screenshots though showing when I called and how long I've been waiting in case they get to me too late. So far been on hold 40 minutes. This is just ridiculous.

It's 8 in the morning, the medication I take to sleep hasn't fully worn off yet and I keep nodding off. They really try to make it as hard as possible to access and keep the help disabled and poor people need 😓

Government assistance: 'You have an appointment that you have a one hour window to reach us by, and you have to call us.' *Sits through a 5 minute robot trying to figure out what to select, then after confirming I'm calling for an appointment, am told my wait time is almost an hour* 🥲 Why.

My brain isn't working lately, but I'm glad I was able to at least put up one new short story. I wrote it a few months ago, and it was the last thing I've written in a little while. I just can't focus lately or think creatively. It's anxiety-inducing, not being able to write. I hope I can again.

Saw an opinion piece fear-mongering about teens 'stumbling upon violent porn every day & it's CSA for them to see it!' No, it isn't. Have age-appropriate talks about fantasy vs reality, healthy vs unhealthy. Don't let your kids have Twitter. Don't let them have Snapchat. 1/

It's almost like we have classes in school called something like 'health class' and 'sex ed' to give age-appropriate education on what's safe and-- Oh, wait. You wanted to ban those.

Sex was such an awkward conversation that I buried what my dad did to me. My mom acted like it never happened for years. But stumbling across weird porn? Least of my fucking worries. 4/4

The fact that I had no doscussion about healthy relationships and my mom's attempt to ban me from anything remotely adult created an ignorance that made me unaware of not only what a strange olfer man was doing with me, but also that my boyfriend was hurting me. 3/

I stumbled across some wild adult content and you know what didn't traumatize me? That. You know what DID traumatize me? My mom growing angry at any curiosity for a sex talk and banning any form of it, calling body part words perverted. Leaving me ignorant to the fact I actually was being SA'd. 3/

Lock their messenger apps to private and friends only. There are social media apps widely used by minors that don't allow sexual content. TALK. TO. YOUR. KIDS. ABOUT. SAFE. SEX FFS Keep them informed! As a survivor of CSA, fuck off with your diluting of such a horrific trauma. 2/

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

I didn't plan on making these daily updates, but we crossed into the 200s over the holiday and that seems like a reason to celebrate. Only 286 subscriptions remain before we've erased all the losses caused by Amazon!
