Oh, hi, here’s a funny story about how yesterday morning on stream, I spent, like, fifteen minutes trying to remember a particular Annie Dillard quote, and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t put together the exact words. If only I’d just… swiveled my chair slightly to the left. 😅😭🙃💀

Photo of a corner desk in a room with a computer monitor, game setups, and lots of books on either side. A chair site in front of the desk.

Closeup of the stack of books just to the left of the chair, which includes several books by Annie Dillard.

What you need to understand is when workers want financial security, that’s entitlement. When bosses want financial security, that’s a god given right. If you think there’s hypocrisy there, then buddy, you just don’t get business, and its inevitable natural laws.

Libraries are great for authors! Libraries pay more for our books, high circulation wears them out so they have to buy them again—AND they’re more likely to buy our next book. Plus, publishers consider library sales when weighing our future contracts. Please check our books out from the library! 📚💜

One irony of being a YA author is most interactions we have about our books end up being with adults. I wasn't prepared for how inspiring & HEALING it would feel to talk about I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD with the teens I actually wrote it for. 💜 Thalia Kids Book Club Camp, it was my honor to meet you.

Author M.J. Beasi, a nonbinary person with pink, purple, and blue hair, wearing a t-shirt that says, "Read Trans Books," standing on a stage amidst a group of 12-14-year-olds holding copies of the book, I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD.

An image of an online article from The Sick Times, published on July 10, 2026.
The main headline reads: "Stop telling women their Long COVID is menopause". Below it, the italicized subheadline states: "From friends to medics, women are used to having their health issues dismissed, minimized, or blamed on their hormones."
Below the text is a collage graphic credited to Miles Griffis / The Sick Times. The artwork features a vintage black-and-white photo of a doctor wearing a head mirror, a black-and-white photo of a woman wearing a face mask, and a bright red horizontal band containing silver 3D illustrations of coronavirus spheres.

In 2019, I wrote a book about what growing up nonbinary before I knew what "nonbinary" was felt like to me. On the surface, it was a fast-paced, snarky supernatural adventure, but the real story was about feeling like you’re an aberration that shouldn’t exist & learning to care for yourself anyway.🧵
