    the problem with your family speaking 2 languages you can partially use is... which one do you focus on learning? (Also, if someone can rec me books in either language, I'm 90% more likely achieve my goals for fiction.)

    If I try (again, sigh) to learn a language semi-fluently, should I learn...

    not remotely convinced jameela jamil should be heading a show about the ballroom scene and the flattening of all LGBTQ experiences into an unnuanced monolith is ick, but if you think a south asian woman comes out 'just for attention'... why are you like this.

    Finished listening to EMPIRE OF SAND by and it was so dang beautiful--a story of love and resilience that compelled me to do SO MANY CHORES so I could keep listening to it. Next up is 's follow up to ORCONOMICS, which was hilarious and brilliant.

    Queer "difficult" women are... It's troubling how much the issue of "representation" slides towards "you must depict people who are Good and Right and Do Right" as, not necessarily an explicit dictate, but as an unspoken undercurrent. The sea we swim in. Justify your existence.

    Because I can’t let it go: take your favourite story. Make the main guy female. Have you read a story where a woman gets to do that? Be like that? Until recently my answer and often been ‘no’.

    If you want sapphics with a sharp edge may I recommend Rory Power’s work, This Is How You Lose The Time War, and I suspect ’s sapphic maleficent retelling coming out next year.

    Anyway, I’m fully expecting some people will Not Like the women in my next book but I look forward for o writing a sapphic relationship that is exactly my jam (the jam is full of glass and bones).

    (On the not all men note - POC men, trans men, disabled men have often not been allowed to have this kind of interiority either. But you will note, they also get short shrift in a lot of fiction.)

    Often good romances are riven with human ugliness and how to move through it, and it is hard to have human ugliness when your defining trait is that you’re a cipher, broken, a monster, pretty, or Nice.

    So often we find men’s* pain and anger and history - and accordingly the way their romances tangle with that - framed as universal, a sign of their depth and growth and worth. So often a woman’s pain turns her into an object. We don’t live in her skin.

    Been thinking about Malinda Lo’s article on problems facing sapphic books and I can’t help but think of how rarely women in fiction get to be dangerous, vicious, broken with sharp edges that cut outwards not inwards - and be considered *more* compelling and attractive for it.
