A/N: This is in no way a finished draft. In fact, it is a first draft. Normally, I would not publish a first draft. However, I have been assigned to do so from the podcast Start With This by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. It is a great podcast about the process of creating, and … Continue reading Untitled

It was a warm, sunny afternoon. Hot enough that a coat would be too heavy, but still cold enough that a light jacket was easily comfortable. His jacket was blue and gray, soft, clean. The sky, only slightly lighter than his jacket, was inviting, seeming to say to me “it’s going to be beautiful” as … Continue reading A Swing Set Spiderman
What Is the Problem? There are over a million trans people all across America, some of them right here in Montgomery County. Many of these people don’t feel like they belong, or are even being actively attacked: the HB2 law in North Carolina tried to force transgender people to use the bathrooms of their biological … Continue reading Being an Ally: How to Help Trans Youth
I feel like I’ve always lived this way. As far back as I can remember, it’s mostly been the same. Not a single moment is spent focusing on the moment itself, but rather thinking about what may happen in the next ten minutes, the next hour, day, month even. I’ve seen all the posts on … Continue reading Irrational Living (A Personal Essay)

Today has been wild. We've been celebrating our victory over the Fuckboys all day. They're not gone- we all know that. Next year, when October comes around, our war will continue. But for now, for this year, we defeated them, and that's all that matters. We have weakened them, so the humans won't have to … Continue reading October 30, 2018; We Did It
Our plan worked. This morning, we all awoke to the sound of the General blowing a horn. To the East, outlined by the rising sun, was an army of hundreds of Fuckboys. In the middle of them, we could see the silhouette of the Sorcerer. We quickly gathered ourselves, our numbers only slightly lower than … Continue reading October 29, 2018; The Final Battle
I have spent all day guarding an abandonded town in the desert. The magicians were hard at work all through morning and into the afternoon, doing... well, I don't know exactly what they were doing. Setting the trap, that's as much as I know. They drew many lines in the dirt, on the walls, all … Continue reading October 28, 2018; Preparation
