Jane Doe’s sorority dropped her off at the frat house drunk this isn’t as simple as just men We pretend we don’t know what’s going on or are powerless because it feels better The ONLY WAY WE CHANGE THIS but we have to admit what this is But until then ? I will settle for not being gaslit

the only way to get politicians and media outlets to take rape seriously is for MEN TO BE UPSET BY IT. period. you, yes YOU, a MAN, are not upset enough about rape culture, and if you're upset, you are not making it a big enough political, economical and societal problem to perform and/or condone it

But we have to be careful when this convo centers one case. The reason they want to dox this woman or focus on how many times her story changes (if it even does) or worry over the ruined lives of the men involved is because you can pick apart a single case. Everyone will find it in what they want.

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Gussss Bonecrackle the Semi-Cursed Neolithic Statue. I designed and hand-sewed him. Gussss spends much of his time inflicting mildly inconvenient curses on jerks. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of Gussss. I have to be careful adding the correct amount of s's in his name because he's not happy when I get that wrong. He's a fabric art statue of sorts, with two wide set black, oblong eyes, and an open black mouth with five gray teeth. He is a gray head, sort of skeletal looking. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely photo of Gusss where he's resting on my palm. Why does he seem upset at me right now? Oh no, I didn't add the correct amount of

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere
