Friends, I'm getting serious about sharing my fiction writing, and I'd like to ask for your support.

I've re-launched a Ko-Fi page, as the vibe is much better than Patreon, and planned an entire series of posts and excerpts, and even videos, to share the novels that I'm working on.

https://ko-fi.com/erosdiscordia

All the posts about my writing process will be free to read, always. But I would also put to good use any donations or memberships you'd like to give, too, especially right now.

Having modern-enough tech to get a work from home job, being able to keep studying IT and infosec (and a language!), even the hosting and domain to start building this fictional world its own online home -- it stays just out of financial reach, and that's frustrating.

Whatever you can spare helps, even $1 a month. And this time, I'm nervously excited to share something with you in return!  ​

So if you like queer-centered science fiction and fantasy -- or even if you're just nosy about what my desk looks like this week -- please do stop by.

Boosts are appreciated!

I have a few reflections and advice on the 5-year anniversary of coming out as transgender:

1. The best piece of advice I got: "Your transition belongs to you." There are no true rules in this. You don't even have to transition, and you certainly don't have to transition to anything established, or understandable to anyone else.

There are no objective body schedules or social milestones. You are free to make up WHATEVER you want. And you are free to push for your standards to be respected and assisted. Transition belongs to you.

Outside of hard-and-fast medical numbers and safety guidelines (real physical safety, not gatekeeping bullshit), you'll encounter invisible rails attempting to direct your experience. It's alright to oppose this, and to call them out. But the core of your experience is your own, and that can't be taken away.

(boosts of this thread are ok)

For any trans people who need to hear this:

Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.

Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.

When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.

Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.

Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨​

The third (and final) season of "Mo Dao Zu Shi" animated series, has been announced to start on August 7, 2021.

You ever get so excited watching something, that tears come out of your eyes even though you're not sad?

Go on, watch the three trailers that have been released so far, and tell me it doesn't look amazing -- even if you have no idea what this show is.

Sometimes I wonder whether people will get tired of me posting "Mo Dao Zu Shi / Untamed" fan wanking on main.

But how could you really mind?

68 degrees and raining.

And I'm hit with Halloween vibes hardcore.
