i think about you all the time Natural Bottom

i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

A good use of time and energy right now (as always) is infighting. If people agree on any important points whatsoever, mutual hatred is warranted. Avoid collective action at all costs. Build no coalitions. Instead, start altercations. Create divisions where none exist. Extend no goodwill nor patience nor understanding. Kill and maim over inadvertent insults of minute size. Make accusations wherever you go. Check in on your friends using a chainsaw. If you see someone struggling, take advantage. We are all in this separately.

The #Ownvoices discourse has done a lot of harm in the queer community. Queer authors have been pressured to come out before they are ready, and people who may never have the opportunity to publicly discuss their own identity are discouraged from exploring queerness in their art. As if exploring queerness through art isn't meaningful and important no matter the public identity of the artist.

Also it is absolutely ridiculous to think that we can deem a work from a country where queerness is illegal less legitimate because the author has not chosen to publicly disclosed their identity. Authors who were forced to hide their names because of government crack downs on queer art have been questioned for not being openly #Ownvoices.

I'm passionate because I have experience with this issue. I was questioned as to whether I could write about trans people, while I had been out as genderfluid in my personal relationships for years. I just didn't think it was a strangers business. If not for pressure from outsiders, I may have had a better experience coming out on my own terms, but some of y'all ruined that for me.

#Ownvoices is useful as a marketing term for the people who want to use it, but it is not the barrier art must cross to be deemed "queer enough".

obsessed with this bookshop in stratford-upon-avon having WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE listed as a ”local author”

“[fell/collapsed] like a puppet with its strings cut” is one of those ones where the first time you read it it’s evocative and you’re like “ok nice turn of phrase” and by the fiftieth time you read it you’re like “🙄 yeah yeah the puppet. again with the puppet”

just got “leapt to his feet as if marionette strings had pulled him up” for the first time. they will not leave this puppet alone
