I am, perhaps, relating to this on a too-deep level today.

Just reblogging because none of the threats to books and libraries have gone away. Mostly they've got worse. If you are capable of joining your Library Board or School Board do it...

And if you personally are unable to join your local Library Board or School Board, find the people who ARE running for those positions who support your values and SUPPORT them!!! It’s usually an elected position, and the pro-censorship crowd is pouring COUNTLESS resources into putting their people in power. It’s so important to get involved in your community, because that’s where change starts.

Friendly reminder that your writing will never reach the level where a critique partner can’t find anything bad to say about it. You can’t go on forever asking for feedback and making every change suggested. At some point you have to acknowledge that asking someone for criticism will always result in criticism, and the writing really is as good as it can get with the tools you’re working with now.

To add to that: this is also true for the most genius bestselling authors.

And this, my babes, is why I write about neurospicy bisexuals and all their neurospicy queer friends. I love us.

Agreed. I love working it into romantasy, and I’m generally the babiest baby there is when it comes to scary stuff.

It tells you how deeply I loved Arcane that I haven’t started re-watching it obsessively yet. The time will come and it will just become my entire personality again. Sorry to all of you when that happens
