in short: portal fantasy! insect people! the complexity of identity and definition of the self! asexual protagonists! insect people!!

the love interest is a dragonfly man with wings and sharp teeth and self-destructive tendencies. like folk music

I started working on a new WIP (checks watch) 3 days ago and it's now completely consumed my life. this is normal. this is fine. (expect to see draft 1 finished in the next 2 months) #amwriting

[c r talley is writing way too much @vitrichor_]

things i've done since i last logged into twitter:
→ finished like 4 first drafts of novels
→ maybe 5? god i can't count any more
→ got a possible promotion at my job (fingers crossed, i'll find out soon)
→ figured out more gender shit
→ ???
→ profit

Well, I've been off twitter for a while. Like... a while a while.

I guess it's time to come back? I'm not really sure. I'll be disappearing in a few days anyway when my new job starts back up.

But anyway, I'm still here! kind of. Maybe. Still writing, at least.

@NRA I love kids in schools more. Much more.

I've been taking a lot of walks lately to get some energy out, and today I felt worse than usual after going out in the morning and then again at noon. I took a couple more walks in the afternoon before checking the weather -- heat advisory with a heat index up to 107F. Oops.

@AITA_reddit Not even judging for watching Twilight. My partner and I watched the entire series (mainly out of spite -- we watched the first one and had to finish the series). Find yourself a partner who's willing to do stupid shit with you like ??? Partner should mean equal.

me, avoiding all social media for a week after my birthday bc I hate it when people feel socially obligated to wish me a happy birthday: yeah this is healthy

@theshenners I love Pierce and all her work but also -- there's so much new kidlit on the market, and so much of it is specifically there to appeal to current kids! (New goals for myself: gather a list of current kidlit recs.)

@queer_hellenic @AITA_reddit We had to do that with my college fund after my dad stole my older sister's. My mom put a million red flags on my account so that when the time came we'd need to verify our identities like 5 times before I could access it.

Better than the alternative, though.

Stepdaughter will be posting on r/raisedbynarcissists before the year is out, if she isn't already.

[c r talley is writing way too much @vitrichor_]

@AITA_reddit Thank god the dad is on his daughter's side. That IS a happy ending. I'm sure daughter has no problem with chores, but being told "do this or else", having your belongings taken away, by a woman who obviously views you as a parasite in her house -- that's ridiculous.

@Ginger_Krysta @AITA_reddit If I see a 25 year old woman in light up shoes I'm going to dream about her for the rest of my life. Do I want her? Or do I want to be her? (Yes.)

@ericsmithrocks I'm autistic, my family and I absolutely despised each other when I was a teenager, but there was never a point even at the worst time where my mother would have willingly given me up bc I was "too hard".

Esp when you adopt - they signed up for this! They fought for this!

[c r talley is writing way too much @vitrichor_]

@ericsmithrocks I can't imagine the hurt and betrayal their poor child went through bc they don't know how to parent.

This makes me so sick & it's worse that I actively want to excuse them because "well they didn't kill him"... The bar is so low for shitty parents of autistic kids.
