Writers are taught not to write wish-fulfillment—it's too easy, boring, or low stakes. But that reasoning is wrong. It only seems that way because we've all already read thousands of wish-fulfillment stories about cis het able-bodied white males, so they're very... predictable.

For every other demographic?

Readers actively, desperately crave wish-fulfillment stories about themselves, because they rarely if ever see them.

With a heavy heart, I must announce my departure from tech. After much contemplation and soul-searching, I have come to realize that my true calling lies elsewhere - the shadowy, eldritch realm of Lovecraftian horror.

For too long, I have been confined to the mundane realities of coding and debugging, but the allure of ancient deities and forbidden knowledge has beckoned me forth. I can no longer resist the Great Old Ones, and must set forth on a journey to explore the mysteries of the cosmos.

We have lots going on, and we're completely broke.
We have just gotten nine #transgender people out of danger. 4 of those by getting them asylum in the Netherlands.
We are absolutely desperate for funds, folks. We're currently funding operations from our personal rent money.
Please boost this, we've never been this desperate.
