My work friend is frustrated with all the people who can’t be bothered to brush the snow off the roofs of their cars, “I guess some people just don’t care” (he says) “about putting themselves and others at risk”, and as I looked at his maskless face I simply replied: “how true.”

Know the difference: peace vs. piece (of mind) If something makes you feel like everything will be all right, it gives you peace of mind. If you're mad as heck and picking up the phone to crack someone's butthole the other way, you're going to give him a piece of your mind. #EditorsNote

I have a 12-year-old dystopian/sci-fi I'm picking up again and dusting off. It doesn't have an ending, and I wrote it before I came out so it definitely needs to be more queer. What project are you working on? #writesky #writingcommunity 🌈✒️

As a kid I won a contest through my high school library, and for the prize I got to pick any book I wanted. I picked one of the few Kurt Vonnegut books I hadn’t read yet. I’ll never forget that librarian and what that relationship meant to me.

Who would have thought transes would vibe with a genre that's all about expressionist transhumanism in times of brutal corporate oppression and the rule of corruption.

December #storygraph reading wrap-up! Comics, graphic novels, and manga dominated to help me get closer to my reading goal for the year, but still got in a few novels, including Dune: House Atreides which is 700+ words 😳 I’m reading every X-Men comic in order and checked a few off the list 😁 📚💙

A StoryGraph graphic of my December reads showing charts for genres, pages read per day, and format. Books read 106, pages 8,593, average rating 3.31. Highest rated books: Chromatic Fantasy 4.75 stars, Dorohedoro 4.5, Paper Girls vol. 6.
