Okay, I am tired of keeping this to myself, so here goes:

A mere 26 years after The Fortunate Fall*, I am working seriously on another novel. The book is called What We Are Seeking and I really don't know what to say about it, so I will just post the opening paragraphs.

* Published under my deadname, Raphael Carter

I've been pondering the phrase "parental rights" recently and thinking that it's the wrong way to frame things a lot of the time.

Parents don't have rights: they have responsibilities, and they have power.

Thread on Birdsite. Wish I knew how to import it over here. Sorry. But here's the link. I'm trying to talk about how treating crime as an emergency rather than important causes us to fail to understand how policing works.

“I want to talk a little bit about how our cultural equation of urgent with emergency is part of our problem of not being able to conceive of defunding the police. This is long, and more of a noodle than a carefully constructed argument.”

@lmgenealogy Yeah. Government as business is a profound category error. I think that capitalism has become a sticky metaphor that prevents us from thinking about human interactions in any framework divorced from profit.

@lmgenealogy The other other thing is: government backstops business. Government takes on those social goods and services that business cannot or will not provide. And it exists in part to restrain the excesses of businesses.

It has been repeated many times, but the idea that cis het men would go to any bother whatsoever pretending to be trans women in order to sexually assault someone when they do so all the time already and are rarely and barely punished for it is patently absurd, and yet we are constantly forced to address this nonexistent, made-up problem by people who just want trans people to disappear and die.
