let 👏 link 👏 be 👏 nonbinary

reminder that nonbinary people exist and are super fuckin great, and if when you say "girl" in a sentence but you also feel this way about nonbinary people, replacing "girl" with "cutie" can help a long way to making enbies feel more welcome

🚨 MY NEW CHAPBOOK IS OUT🚨
Jovian Flesh & Fauna, my new chapbook, is a collection of poems. An experiment in alien empathy seeking to use horror and surrealism to communicate experiences for which you have no other reference point.

I've been working on this thing for nearly two years!!! It's free! Give it a read:

Did You Know?

While most public libraries don't subscribe to academic journals, they *do* often partner with local universities to provide inter-library loans to patrons who do request academic articles. How you do this varies by library but if you're willing to wait a couple weeks to get your article you can sometimes get it through a public library!

If I could convince Mastodon at large of only one thing, it would be this:

if you see someone complaining, DO NOT give them advice.

If someone ASKS for advice, offer it.

But 90% of the time, someone complaining is just venting. They're not telling you the whole story, and they're not receptive to being given advice, because in that mental state, your "good-natured advice" is their "HERE'S HOW YOU'RE DOING THIS WRONG".

Do not respond with advice unless it's asked for.

Nations are death cults, pass it on

Idea: Get the activation handle from an ejection seat, hook it up to a computer, and make it send ctrl-w whenever pulled, so that you can be like "nope, I'm out" whenever you find a terrible thread on the Internet.
