This is my piece for Anticapitalist Resistance on a political definition of trans* and how we can reclaim hope. Please share and let me know your own thoughts, whether you are cis or trans*.

If anyone currently has (or knows someone with) a manuscript in need of editing, I have a few open slots and will offer a limited-time 15% discount. I do MS Word track changes, comments and a general report covering structure, grammar and typos, as well as struct characterisation, pacing, setting, etc. for fiction and coherence, clarity, and accessibility for nonfiction.

There's an episode where the X-Men have two options: allow Rogue to absorb an out-of-control Storm's powers or allow the villain Sauron to be reborn by absorbing said power. And for no comprehensible reason, they opt for the latter! The objection to Rogue is that she also might go out of control, although no explanation is given, and Sauron is, by definition, somewhat sans control.

Haha. Apparently Marvel's villain Spiral was out there cancelling folk in the 90s. Baddass.

An essence is just an appearance that, through a sensuous process, appears behind an appearance. There is nothing beyond all appearances, only the totality of all appearances. I.e. a totality that is the only sensible thing to call the truth.
