You know what, at this point, -- the greed of Bezos won't be checked until we speak with our money, which is the only language he apparently understands.

What writers need to remember:

-If you keep working hard, you will succeed
-The people who say you will fail don't even write

CW: sex, non-con 

It feels like acknowledging a shadow, which is useful work. But at the same time, exploring fiction that acknowledges dark impulses can look a lot like approving of those impulses, excusing them or diminishing the harm they cause.

I think it’s frustrating that we can’t be in a climate where we talk through this stuff. I think it could do a lot of good if we could have difficult conversations.

CW: sex, non-con 

Beastars makes me feel so damned conflicted. I’m in love with the world even though the dialogue is a bit on the nose, and I would BE Haru in a heartbeat if I could.

But there’s no escaping that predation is staged to look a hell of a lot like sexual assault and that’s an undeniable problem. The fact that it’s central to the show’s plot means I couldn’t overlook it if I want it to. I shouldn’t.

It’s a really fascinating concept, maybe *because* it makes me so uncomfortable.

People seek retreats for themselves in the country, by the sea, or in the mountains.

You are very much in the habit of yearning for these same things.

But, you can, at any moment, find such a retreat in yourself.
