Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Anti-trans voices are often certain that they’re right, and that can help convince others to join their cause. They have compelling stats to explain why trans people are so dangerous and misguided. The problem? Those stats and figures come from flawed studies and intentionally misleading surveys. 100
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The same week that the UK enacted policies that will force teachers to out trans kids to parents even when that might not be safe, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against a Kansas school district for not forcibly outing trans kids. 100
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Things are getting heated over on Facebook, where a couple of my posts have blown up with hundreds of comments. There’s a lot of anti-trans hate happening in there. But I’m heartened by the amount of pro-trans comments and the pushback in hate happening in there as well. 020
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The anti-trans campaigns operate differently, but their foundational forces are the same. Whether it’s the Heritage Foundation and the Alliance Defending Freedom, or Sex Matters and JK Rowling, they’re putting pressures to give power to a hateful and vocal minority against marginalized people. 100

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 12/11/2025The views for my runs have changed a lot since April. Those waters are high and churning. I’m sure that isn’t symbolic of anything. (First picture: river on my run yesterday, second picture: lake on a run back in April.) 020

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Excited to dig into @mattbaume.bsky.social’s book this weekend. As @bookmarkobrien.bsky.social says: one available at your local bookstore, the other is in the works - watch this space! 020
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 26/04/2025I recently relocated and had to leave my favorite running trails behind. But at least I’ve found an impressive lake to run around now. 010
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Huge news! I'm thrilled to announce that I have signed with Mark O'Brien at Azantian Literary Agency! I'll be working with Mark to find a home for a non-fiction book that I'm extremely passionate about. I can't wait for you to read it. Watch this space! @bookmarkobrien.bsky.social 1231
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 21/05/2024Ah, the joys of walking trails in Georgia. Never have I stopped and backed up so quickly. 010
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 09/05/2024I don’t know what it is, but I find I keep coming back to this trail. 010
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 07/05/2024Some of us have busy mornings. Some of us just focus on being statuesque in the sun. Once again, Misty is using up the house’s entire quota of statuesque and leaving me with the busy. #catsofbluesky 050

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 02/05/2024It’s a beautiful day here in Georgia. But with this humidity, I need to move to one of those places where they say “yeah, but it’s a dry heat.” Not about this “wet heat” nonsense. 000

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 30/04/2024A peaceful, elegant cat. One who definitely never yells in my face in the middle of the night and/or when I’ve just got the baby to take a nap. 000
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 29/04/2024I’ve been a bit quiet so far in 2024. In December, I had the pleasure of welcoming my first child.

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 30/03/2024#BookFridays McCaffrey’s Dragonflight was the book that got me into both reading and writing. A young teenager, it inspired me to start creating my own worlds. It’s warm and comforting and opened my mind. What was your first influential book? #Dragonflight | #FaefyxWrites 020

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 22/03/2024#BookFridays This is cyberpunk at its best. Marge Piercy’s He, She, and It does everything that sci-fi should: warns about what is to come, and ties it to what has been. #HeSheAndIt | #MargePiercy | #ScienceFiction | #Cyberpunk | #FaefyxWrites 010
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 16/03/2024#BookFridays If you want a great introduction to Neil Gaiman, American Gods is the place to do it. And if you’re going to read it (you should), I recommend this copy - the “Author’s Preferred Text.” #AmericanGods | #NeilGaiman | #FaefyxWrites 000
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 09/03/2024Pratchett and Gaiman’s Good Omens collaboration gives a great view into the writing process. Gaiman has said “There were bits we were both convinced we had written, and bits we were both convinced that we hadn't.” #WritingCommunity #FaefyxWrites 120
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 15/02/2024It's a pricier option, but worth it for something you'll use every day. I went for the Razer Blackwidow V4. They're designed for gamers, and I've found that when it comes to products targeted at people who spend all day at a desk, gamers get the best ergonomic stuff. (Makes a nice clacky noise, too) 110

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 20/12/2023This is some of the artwork on the case of the vintage harmonica a couple of friends very kindly gifted me. How vintage you ask? It says it was made in Germany… in the U.S. Zone. And, yes, I can (sort of) play it. #VintageHarmonica 100
Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 19/12/2023While I tend to read more recent fiction that deals with the world we live in, it's always important to know where we came from.

Faefyx Collington @faefyx.bsky.social · 15/12/2023Writing rituals are super important to me. Perhaps the most important one is coffee.
