I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

AC uses less energy than heating, and yet we don’t see people sniffing at the idea of heat in winter. But it’s a lot easier to die of heatstroke than hypothermia.

Did some airplane travel this week- the number of people back to wearing masks over hantavirus and Ebola is truly shocking.
I feel sad for the people who live their lives in fear over over-hyped, extremely rare diseases.
People, so fearful that they can't go out in public or travel without masks...
I pity them, I worry for their mental health, I even worry for our country that has so many guillible people - but these poor fools are not my enemy.

Every other week, I see a viral post about "tipping" and visceral responses as to why it's not required and "it's not my job to pay you" regardless of the bill. And again I keep saying.. we're having the wrong conversation. You're punishing poor people to make an under educated point

The real reason why being gay was considered a sin was because a same-sex couple threatened the nuclear family model. If there’s no straight man to run the house, there’s no worker. If there’s no demure wife to feed the husband and supply offspring, there’s no workers. And if there are no workers,

If the federal government and Telus hoped to avoid public opposition simply by renaming data centres to “AI factories,” they will be disappointed. The announced project raises more questions than answers — particularly for the residents of Vancouver, write three researchers. #vanpoli #canpoli #AI

When a trans person so much as jaywalks there's a month of calls for all of us to die screaming and I need people to bring that energy to holding every transphobic monster that helped make this murder happen accountable for it. Juniper's death is the intended outcome of transphobic propaganda.

It's always most important to listen to the actual victims when it comes to people exhibiting certain problematic/toxic/abusive behavior in public spaces. Fandom discourse will only muddy that topic. It will no longer be about abuser vs victim and instead becomes about personalities.

Aphelion @wakeraphelion.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

The original idea for Aphelion came to me in a dream back on October 12, 2017. The dream followed Ren, who was trying to stop a plague that turns its victims into zombies from spreading further across Levana. When I woke up, I remembered almost everything so I expanded on the story for NaNoWriMo.

A screenshot from the NaNoWriMo website.

The text in the blue bar on top reads “November 2017”

There is an image of a futuristic looking world with water and tall buildings.

The text on the side reads “The Waker’s Curse by Nova Vandorwolf Science Fiction”

There are 3 buttons in the screenshot that say “stats edit delete”

The terrible association in the public mind of "AI" is not our fault. We didn't do this. We didn't wreck everything. We weren't cavalier, flippant and oblivious to what we were doing. The people who developed LLMs did that, and not a one of them has even tried to apologize.
