This is not a real person! There are THIRTY TWO books here that 'Andrew V. Smith' has shat out in the last year alone, all of which have AI-generated covers and most borrow or straight up rip off titles from other more popular (and more importantly: human) works like my own

genuinely, my favourite thing in the world is the "pass the same $20 around the arts" where you take money made from the arts to pay someone else to make more art & they take money to pay someone to make more art &...what I'm saying is commission Fell next time she has them open, you won't regret it

I'm 40 and got almost exactly those lessons from Mormon leaders growing up. I will NEVER abandon trans people; the arguments we're hearing against them now are the ones I heard against all queer people when I was young.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I have been a guest at conventions where, during the pre-con walk through, my handler has pointed out the bar and mentioned how some guests are "more fun" and "get asked back," then names only men. Because a lot of female guests aren't comfortable hanging out around alcohol with strangers.

We (the victims) have to explain ourselves and defend against accusations of not being properly "leftist" in the eyes of his defenders, because God forbid we say that some acts people commit make them uniquely unqualified to have a public platform, no matter how much "growing and learning" they do.
