Existential Author Thoughts with Xiane
Author note: I started writing this as a response to an author friend’s post elsewhere, and decided that I had a lot more to say and it wasn’t appropriate for that space, so here goes my brain dump. I’ve been deeply contemplating the why I write and even more crucial, the who is this for questions lately, and the answers are pending while I try to get out of the way of the emotions tied up with…
Summer: So Fast & So slow
Summer feels like it’s been both flying by and dragging its heels at every turn. I’ve both been very busy and not at all, in almost unpredictable turns, since May. Some of that is thanks to the reality of living with a chronic illness, but also there’s just been this vibe out there, and that’s part of it. As Sousa would say, “I dunno, that’s above my pay grade.” [Every time it comes up I think…
The Sky Is Yellow
I wake up, and the sky is yellow. Not the orange or rust or outright brown of some places, where the smoke is worse; not yet, anyway. Just a hazy, thick yellow that reminds me of what it was like growing up, when every city had that haze hovering over it. When some days you couldn’t see the horizon—no, you couldn’t even see six or eight blocks away clearly. It used to be smoke everywhere, all…
How?
How do we keep going? How do we put one foot in front of the other, over and over, moving toward an unnamed goal that somehow has a million hopeful and beautiful inner images to illustrate it on our internal vision board even though we can never fully pin it down? How can we keep that focus when the world is burning all around us? We seem doomed to keep repeating the patterns of the past, the…
The Biggest Person in the Room
But if she was nervous, then it was up to him to make her feel more secure, right? That was what Grum always told him. “When you’re the biggest person in the room, you have to put the smaller ones at ease. Otherwise you’ll always be a threat, and you can’t trust anything a threatened person says or does as being true.”[Ettir, from the upcoming Eleriannan novel] I am not a big person. Okay, let…
The Big Purge of 2026
Operation: De-Google-Fy! So it’s come to this; the state of enshittification has become so entrenched that even Google can’t just do the job it was made to do without turning to an AI summary-bot to break a search into tiny nuggets of almost-info that feels designed to discourage deep dives or inspire curiosity. And worse, the last update made it so Chrome has eaten up all the space in my…
My notes for Fatphobia in SFF
Hi friends! You’re probably reading this after attending the Fatphobia in SFF panel at Balticon 60. Or maybe you stumbled onto this post while doing research about the subject. I wanted to provide my notes from the event in a simple post for those who want more context, thinking material, or further reading. I’m just simply dropping this in for now and will fancy it up later. The most important…
Fun facts: the part of the London Marathon she joined is a fully integrated non competitive event. All the medals issued are participation awards. It isn't meaningfully ranked or scored. Anyone who wants to participate can. The coverage given this event and its placement is equivalent to the newspaper writing an article based on having sat in a park and watched a recreationally running trans woman pass some cis women who are walking on the same trail.
The london marathon is so intentionally inclusive they have added accessibility features everywhere possible including if you are a wheelchair user who cannot self propell the whole distance, there are volunteers who will run along side you and push you when you need a break
Its not a competition its a community fundraising event
