You are presented with an empty stage, an elevator door, and a choice. If you decide to read this choose your own existential drama, turn to ergot.press/dolmen/U.M._Agoawike

I take back everything reasonable I said during the SFWA debate. Until we have regulations in place on this monster shit, I am unreasonable. I am reactionary. I am anti-progress. They are posting pictures of naked 14 year olds, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING HERE.

why is it that almost every interesting thing i learn about happens to have been created by a Black person only to be co-opted by white people who virtually erased the origin 😐

i had a whole rant ready, but this essay covers the topic much more in-depth (& much nicer) than i would have fuck alchemised, fuck rose in chains, and fuck irresistible urge. anyone who supports those books don't give a damn about trans ppl and it shows. reading isn't political my ass...
