Hello everyone! My name is Zoe Storm and I write trans and queer stories; the kind of stories I wished I could've read as a young, closeted trans girl. I write in all genres, from coming-of-age stories to slice of life to sci-fi to fantasy. You can find my writing here: www.zoestorm.com

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Also for what it is worth, it DIDN'T actually label them as illustrative — and the deception was only apparent because I know the data well. That's scary, because if you use AI for everything, you wouldn't know the data well enough to catch its deceptions.

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

Discworld QOTD, from Wintersmith “That's Third Thoughts for you. When a huge rock is going to land on your head, they're the thoughts that think: Is that an igneous rock, such as granite, or is it sandstone?”

Roz shared some lovely words about my novella, The Last Straw. She's an excellent writer herself, with fantastic taste in music and the depth of knowledge to match. 💕

On the blog I wrote a lil about @emoryahlberg.bsky.social , Eugene Meatyard’s photographs, Guy Davenport, and the new @aquariumdrunkard.com music app rozwords.substack.com/p/random-not...

"I was a dumbass for X, Y, Z reasons. Material reality made me see the error of my ways" is actually incredibly uplifting stuff, especially from a 25 year old with a blue collar job and a HS diploma. He was a teenager during Trump 1

The mask is off. It has nothing to do with women's safety (never did). It's about pure vile hatred of trans + people. CW. Severe transphobic abuse.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Here's a list of things the Hero has canonically fucked: - A human - An elf - A dragon - A dwarf - A giant - A wolf woman - A vampire - A priestess - The Demon Lord, technically - A magical sword I mean, dude. Mate. Seriously. At some point I gotta ask, can you actually not?

The UK TERF movement essentially boils down to a bunch of entitled middle-aged Karen’s who were once criticised for some mild transphobia, and instead of apologising and moving on, they doubled-down, demanded to “speak to the manager”, and made their entire personality a bigot who won’t “weesht”! 🙄😖

Yeah a lot of the piss and vinegar comes from her thinking she should be free to abuse her Lessers and people shouldn't make impolite noises about it. Applies to other posh TERFs too

I like to point out that the segregationist KKK wives in the 1950s were being truthful when they said they would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a Black woman. The solution to this is that "uncomfortable" does not justify discrimination against other people.
