I'm not Polly Jean But I am an author of SFF novels, even if I happen to be unpublished so far. I'm also autistic, so any help on the ol' networking front for someone who can't do anything else but write engaging character-based stories is appreciated.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Transmission: A frustrated moment, a dreadful accident. A physicist now alone, riddled with guilt. If only she could take it all back, make things right. It would mean a message sent back in time, which the laws of physics say isn't possible. But laws are there to be broken. #DVPit #SF #A #ND #TV

Discovery: To her supervisor's frustration, a PhD student wants to uncover the mystery of an inconsequential satellite's wobble. Why can't he see it will easily win her a Nobel Prize? Little do either of them realise quite how far her reckless enthusiasm will lead. #DVPit #SF #A #ND #TV

You know, I think the whole wealthy-people-don't-experience-consequences thing that has escalated these past few decades hasn't done much for society as a whole.

Feminism doesn't require women to see trans+ people as the enemy. For many of us, feminism has always meant challenging inequality, standing alongside people whose rights are under threat, and refusing to accept that one group's equality must come at another's expense. That's our feminism too.

“I have grown incredibly exasperated at the portrayal of ‘gender critical’ perspectives as representing all women when my feminism has ALWAYS been inclusive and intersectional.”

Second series of Ludwig is disappointing. I was sold on the idea of a puzzle setter helping solve crimes, but I'm getting maybe 15 minutes of that per episode and 45 minutes of a boring conspiracy that they won't solve or the series loses its raison d'etre.

On the Inside: A murder, or an accident? Either way, the agent assigned to the case is there to make sure it doesn't happen again, by having it happen again, and again, and again, each time guiding the killer towards better choices. Success here must surely mean promotion. #preDV #SF #A #ND #TV

Friend asked if I had a book that changed my life. I do! It's an incidental birthday gift, many years ago, about creating catgirl cosplay. It stirred something deep inside me that only really came to be properly realised recently. I still have the book. I told her to read The Analects of Confucius.

If you make a space safe for neurospicy people, you make it easier for everyone to thrive. There’s a world in which we are less evil and more “productive” and the right wing press have panicked at the idea. The moral panic is a policy choice.

The most depressing of my four books, according to readers, is either the second, third, or fourth. I feel like I'm succeeding in my writing. ...apart from the whole getting published thing, and how important is that really? (First book doesn't count, it's relentlessly optimistic by design.)

Yeah, some entrepreneurs have made all the money and so think that's that Right Way of Doing Things, and are forcing that way of being on to everything and everyone else. Many people don't want to be outliers and are happy as cogs in the machine.
