Hey Joy, I got Phangs on a whim after years of struggling to Do Novels and i guess adhd decided it liked this one and ANYWAY. You've written a character I didnt know I needed in Nathan - the way he responds to disability, and his family's response to said disability, is so intimately familiar to my own struggles as the Gifted Child with late diagnosis ADHD, I cant thank you enough - I don't know if it was intentional, but you've given me a protagonist that's like me. Thank you.

Hngl. It’s amusing me no end the sheer number of people with ADHD/some flavor of neurodivergence, telling me this is the first book they’ve been able to read in years. It’s almost like the overwhelmingly neurotypical landscape of publishing is inaccessible to us, or something.

And as much as I like to joke that I put most of my ADHD personality into Vlad... Nathan is my lived experience with disability. His arc was intentional and important for me to show because I have never read anyone like me either.*

At least, not in a way that wasn’t in some way fetishizing or tragic. And... yeah.

Nathan is important to me. And it means the world to know he resonates with so many people. Thank you for letting me know. It means a lot.

*Spoilers under cut*

*I also wrote his arc about metal poisoning before I knew I had mercury poisoning. Which was a whole other mindfuck when I found out, let me tell you.

May I recommend Swim by Jacks Mannequin as a post tartarus percy song? (or post titan war, i feel like people forget that as a source of trauma for the poor kid) P.S. thx for being a source of bi pjo content, it does my soul good

Oh god this poor boy just let him rest!!!

You gotta swimFor wars without causeSwim for these lost politiciansWho don't see their greed is a flawThe currents will pull usAway from our loveJust keep your head aboveI found a tidal waveBegging to tear down the doorMemories like bulletsThey fired at me from a gunCracking me open nowI swim to brighter daysIn spite of the absence of sunChoking on salt waterI'm not giving inI'm not giving inSwimYou gotta swimSwim in the darkThere's an ocean to drift inFeel the tide shifting away from this warYeah you gotta swimDon't let yourself sinkJust follow the horizonI promise you it's not as far as you think

Hey, Kellie Leitch is going to be speaking at my uni (TWU, feb. 21, @ 4 pm in the caf if anyone's interested) and apparently there will be time for questions. Do you have any thoughts about what would be good questions to ask?

Followers?

Wait do people out there actually think aristotle is above criticism?

apparently. i got a couple of rude asks the other day one of which tried to defend the honour of mighty aristotle from a teenage college freshman with a blog but i’m still not sure if they really cared about aristotle or if they were just using the opportunity to feel smarter than me by telling me stuff i already knew

also ig he was held in the highest respects by medieval academics who thought he was a paragon of philosophical thought, and i’ve met with a couple professors and countless philosophy students who thought the same yeah

Ok so serious question about wonder woman: what were your thoughts about the end ares scene? One if the people I watched it with said they would have preferred there was no ares at all and it actually was just the people doing it

i liked it. if you’re going to introduce a demigod superhero like diana, you need to have a villain that’s just as/more powerful for her to fight.

however, if it had just been him over all forcing everyone to do what they were doing, i would have disliked it. because he was merely giving people ideas and letting them do what they wanted with them i think it didn’t absolve mankind of their responsibility.
