True story: #StarTrek had Kirk reporting to a Black flag officer five years before the U.S. Navy had a Black admiral. Representation matters, and Star Trek has always been political.

Hello new followers! I should probably introduce myself. Iโ€™m a bi, transmasc genderfluid writer of mm romance. I write mostly romcoms and contemporary romance about guys struggling with anxiety and their deep-seated conviction that they donโ€™t deserve love.

If you want to make an authorโ€™s day... write a reviewโค๏ธ. A book review helps/encourages/inspires a writer more than anything. So if youโ€™ve read a book, please leave a review๐Ÿ™. Even just a few words like โ€œI loved itโ€ makes all the differenceโค๏ธ #writingcommunity

Itโ€™s a wonderful event and a chance to see Split Rockโ€™s beacon lit! The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1969 and is only lit for this event. Iโ€™ve wanted to go for years and grabbed the chance since it was on a Sunday this year.

Yesterday my wife and I made the drive up to the North Shore for the Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Beacon Lighting at Split Rock Lighthouse, which commemorates the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the loss of all hands in 1975 #edmundfitzgerald #lakesuperior #northshore #minnesota #lighthouse

Surprised that only one person seems to have mentioned Winterโ€™s Orbit and Oceanโ€™s Echo by Everina Maxwell! And itโ€™s been a real long time since Iโ€™ve read it, but iirc Anathem by Neal Stephenson fits this description.

โ€ฆtheir own expectations and experiences and baggage really helps me personally to avoid getting dragged into the outrage cycle or an anxiety spiral about why so and so hates me.

Itโ€™s HARD to remove all the things swirling around in your own brain to recognize, hey, maybe this thing that I assume was meant as negative or even a direct attack on me wasnโ€™t meant that way at all. Obviously we can only be in our own brains but recognizing that everyone is operating withโ€ฆ

Yeahโ€”thereโ€™s something you see in corporate settings a lot called โ€œassuming positive intent.โ€ You donโ€™t know where other people are coming from, what kind of day theyโ€™ve had, what theyโ€™re thinking about, the tone they meant to use (if over text), etc.

I also spend my days gazing longingly into the distance, the wind whipping my clothes about me, hoping for my short story submission to appear over the horizon.

Yeah Iโ€™ve heard/read up on it. Figured Iโ€™d give them a shot to see if they had it together. They have no staff, so Iโ€™m guessing the AI seminar is probably more lack of oversight of their chapters than them taking a position. It wasnโ€™t listed in the newsletter they sent out today at all ๐Ÿ˜‚
