one million points of light

Me @ men who send fetish fiction for my lesbian anthology despite the big “NO PORN” rule being literally in the title: how big are your fucking clown shoes?

I have to write a rejection letter today but I like doing writers who submit A Solid when I actually like aspects of the story I’m rejecting (A Solid = personalized rejection), but this is HARD when I have a splitting migraine due to the pathetic trickle that is my blood pressure zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

That being said, Lesbian Furry Anthology is still open for the foreseeable future, though I am happy to report I officially have reached the 50% mark of my minimum goal for # of accepted stories. My plan is to give it a solid cut off date once I have reached the minimum # of stories I want.

As a side note, I DO consider kemonomimi & (most) shifter fiction to be “furry”, so if that is your jam, you are encouraged to try your hand at it. Rules and submission address are here (scroll down to the 2nd newest entry). You can DM me questions here if you want, I’m easy going and hard to piss off. There are no dumb questions.

Every person need to be taught disability history
Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.
Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.” (A decision which still has not been reversed)
Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.
Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors and parents left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.
Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.
Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”
Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.
Teach about us.

TBH I don’t think “they wasted tax payer dollars on rescue efforts” is a very good criticism basically ever. I would like MORE of my tax dollars to go into helping and rescuing people, actually, even when the person is lying or rescue is futile or the situation was caused by foolishness or I don’t like the people who need to be saved. We can criticize that another incident was ignored and discuss biases in how funds for rescue are allocated, but I don’t think the act of saving someone ITSELF should be criticized. It’s a weird way to frame it.
Also BTW the narrative of “they should have known better” or “they should have known it was a death trap” is, in fact, anti safety regulations because it puts the onus of assessing safety on non-expert consumers who DID NOT have access to all the information you have now. The entire POINT of regulatory bodies is that someone who knows what they’re doing ensures safety for people who don’t have tools/knowledge/background/time to do it themselves. Yes, even if the waiver they signed designated the craft as “experimental”— you do not blame non-experts for not understanding.
This doesn’t apply to the company owner, who presumably knew they were lying about their partnerships with the University of Washington and Boeing (lies which helped sell the tale that their craft was safe) and what type of condition the craft was in and that employees had had safety concerns which went ignored and suppressed.

god i hate how aesthetic-obsessed we have become. i’m not talking about cottagecore or dark academia or any of the other -cores, i’m talking about everything being so glossy and pretty and perfect and smooth and one-liner hot takes and feel-good own-the-conservatives progressivism and Top 10 Company Tweets We Laughed At and ring lights and young vloggers with pastel-perfect colour-corrected lives and carefully curated messy title cards and perfect montages being called “photo dumps” and bookstagrams or booktoks or bookblrs who buy every book they read, not a library edition in sight and “that girl” and this is how you age when you’re unproblematic and glow ups and “clean” “inclusive” beauty and earth tones and minimalism and filming random people without their consent and definition of the self through consumption of goods and ggrgehwrgehrgehrgehrgehrrerg
