I found his bio on societyofpresidentialdescendants.org and it was so delightful I had to copy paste the whole thing:
âUlysses Grant Dietz grew up in Syracuse, New York, where his Leave it to Beaver life was enlivened by his fascination with vampires, from Bela Lugosi to Barnabas Collins. He studied French at Yale (BA, 1977), and was trained to be a museum curator in the University of Delawareâs Winterthur Program in American Material Culture (MA, 1980). A decorative arts curator at the Newark Museum for thirty-seven years before he retired, Ulysses has never stopped writing for the sheer pleasure of it. Aside from books on Victorian furniture, art pottery, studio ceramics, jewelry, and the White House, Ulysses created the character of Desmond Beckwith in 1988 as his personal response to Anne Riceâs landmark novels. Alyson Books released his first novel, Desmond, in 1998. Vampire in Suburbia, the sequel, appeared in 2012. His most recent novel, Cliffhanger, was released by JMS Books in December 2020.
âUlysses lives in suburban New Jersey with his husband of 45 years. They have two grown children, adopted in 1996.
âUlysses is a great-great grandson of Ulysses S. Grant. His late mother, Julia, was the Presidentâs last living great-grandchild; youngest daughter of Ulysses S. Grant III, and granddaughter of the presidentâs eldest son, Frederick. Every year on April 27 he gives a speech at Grantâs Tomb in New York City. He is also on the board of the U.S. Grant Presidential Library and Museum at Mississippi State University.â
And frankly, the novels sound like they slap:
Desmond was nominated for a Lambda Award.
âWith his husband of 45 years.â You kids donât know ... they got together before AIDS, at the peak of the Gay Glam Life. They stayed together as their generation died around them, and made through it to the point where they could marry and have a legal family. He looks like a chipper preppie who never had a serious thought or care in the world, but it took *incredible* determination, commitment, and also luck to get here.
having now read the first of this man's vampire books, you can absolutely tell that he cares a lot about historical furniture because oh my god he really wanted to tell us about all the historical furniture in this vampire's house. material culture as foreplay. seduction via theses about chairs
Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender womanâs death is ruled a suicide and a community call
This is grim and unsurprising but Iâm heartened that there are people devoting themselves to bringing this horrific pattern to light. Lynchings never ended, and reports of suicides among black transfems in particular should be cause for suspicion
So turns outâŚ..you guys are not gonna believe thisâŚâŚ.but it turns out. Reading real books. Is good for you actually.
Let me be completely clear - Iâm not being a sarcastic ass. Iâm just realizing all over again, in real time, for myself, that reading a real life published book makes your neurons feel like theyâre getting a spa day. Like I can feel my brain getting juicer and wrinklier with every page I turn. This shit is no joke, this is like hard drugs if hard drugs were good for you and made your brain feel revived and alive.

imo the pov character should be lying to themselves and concealing shit from themselves constantly
reproductive rights is not a euphemism for abortion rights or the right of people to become pregnant, it also includes the rights of trans women to not be forcibly sterilized to get gender marker changes or the ability to freeze sperm. but those two things rarely make it on the radar even when trans women's reproductive rights are under attack.
we don't actually need gender markers on our licenses and whatnot. we could just. do away with those entirely. i do not believe this would lead disaster.
do you ever look at a friend and feel soooooo affectionate
iâm glad this is the post of mine to get a degree of notes, fuck yeah friends

The kid next door (talking toddler age) is playing outside and just wiped out in his Fisher Price car, and I just heard the babysitter say, âoh no, your insurance premium is definitely going to go up!â And the kid who had only been mildly sniffling before made the most confused, but startled sound youâve ever heard.
Just very clearly an attempt at saying, âmy what?â
He straight up forgot about his scraped knee and is now worried about whatever the fuck an insurance premium is.
if men r just biologically âlike thatâ it fully removes the blame from them, it places the burden of expecting better on women bc if men âcanât help itâ itd be like getting mad at a dog for licking its ass, âwell hes a man ! u cant expect him to treat others as people hes just a man!â its just another way of coddling them, if men cant be held accountable for hurting women then it becomes the fault of women for wanting better, denying a man his personhood just allows him to never have to do better âŚ
I think a lot of people spent their childhoods being very deliberately forced out of their comfort zones by parents / teachers / whomever in a way that was just deeply unpleasant and degrading and so, when they reach young adulthood and are finally allowed real control over their lives, become set on only doing things they know they're comfortable with forever. that's a really important thing to be able to do, especially if you're so used to having your boundaries routinely ignored that you aren't even certain what you like vs what you can bear, so I absolutely see why a person would have a negative reaction to being told that discomfort is good: it can very easily sound like being told that all that work they've been doing to prioritze their needs for the first time ever is Bad and Selfish, actually. and to that I will say two things:
one: as long as you aren't hurting or, like, being a dick to anyone, just staying in your comfort zone isn't an immoral action. if you just want to read one type of book (or just fanfiction), or just eat one type of food, or just watch one type of movie, or not go to new types of social events, you aren't being a bad person for that, and if people say that, they are soundly wrong and just trying to get a self-righteousness kick.
two: trying new things because you want to expand yourself feels a hell of a lot different than trying new things because you're being forced to. you'll feel better about trying new foods if you know you have a back up familiar one in case you can't stomach the new one, it's easier to read new books if you can experiment with audio versions or reading it in little five-page chunks by yourself, you can breathe a lot easier going somewhere new if you aren't chained there for three hours because your parent is your ride home, etc.
tl;dr: new things are good. I get why you might not want to try new things, and that's fine, but it's also more comfortable to try new things as an adult with your own agency so, yeah, what have you got to lose by trying a weird old art film?
Embossed braille should be standard on computer keyboards.Â
It would raise braille literacy more than anything else I could imagine - among both the blind and the sighted. Currently braille is actually vanishing due to an increasing reliance on audiobooks and screen readers.Â
I think that braille has a lot of potential use among non-blind groups. As an alternative to traditional writing for dyslexics. As a way to help photosensitive people type with their eyes closed. Or simply as a means to help sighted people find things without needing the lights on all the time!
Accessibility note: Itâs important that braille doesnât vanish because itâs one of the only written language that works for blind and sight-impaired people. It is necessary for them to interact with the real world where screen readers and audio devices are not available to them, such as elevators, most major metro systems, stairwells, doorways, the bumps in the sidewalk at corners are actually developed in conjunction with audio signals so blind people donât step off the curb into traffic before the correct time.Â
Digital technology has made accessibility so much easier for all of us disabled people, but we still *need* the real-world accommodations that we fought and died for

Most people donât even know her name. Alice Parker is her name. Back in 1919, she created and patented a gas powered heating system when most homes were still using fireplaces and coal stoves. She imagined heating an entire home safely, with different rooms warmed individually instead of relying on one fire source. Even though her system wasnât fully used back then, her ideas are the reason modern central heating and zoning exist today. Thatâs Black history. Thatâs legacy.
Did a little digging and found an article talking about her in as much detail as the researcher could find including images from the patent she filed and which discusses how black scientists are often hidden or forgotten:
Beyond mistaken identity and misattributed invention, huge gaps remain in the history of Alice Parker. Here's what one reporterâs research u
