know it has been a hot minute. I pretty much disappeared since last fall. Walked away from all institutional christianity and I wrote several books the last three months. It was very therapeutic

It's here. CLANG! is live. 🔥 Cozy fantasy about a forge, a found family, and a master smith who refuses to be priced. There's a cat, and he has opinions. Magic swords come from somewhere, and this is the somewhere. Kindle now, paperback next week. The forge is open. emberashworth.com

The cover of CLANG! A red-haired dwarven smith in a leather apron stands at a glowing anvil, one arm raised mid-swing with a hammer, the other holding tongs that grip a red-hot blade. Fire curls around her in a ring. Behind her in the smoke and flame, the huge shadowed head of a dragon looms, one eye glowing orange. The title CLANG! runs across the bottom in large gold letters.

Every step of the way we've been told we're too loud. Every step of the way we've been told we ask for too much. Every step of the way we've been told we're selfish. Every step of the way we've been told we need to compromise. Every step of the way we've been told we're not human anyway.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

"That's all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don't know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won't matter if we don't survive these times." Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower (Earthseed, #1)

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. ... History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ―Orwell, 1984

really wrestling with faith issues Watching people celebrate the dismantling the infrastructure based on science and reason keeps driving the wedge between me and anything that even is Christian adjacent much less christian

TRANS HEALTHCARE TROLLEY PROBLEM A runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

This whole thread is excellent, and addresses something that I didn't understand when my daughter came out as a teen. HRT isn't just about shaping the body (though that's important!), it's about giving the whole person, body & brain, what they need to work as a harmonious whole.

It's not about one hormone being better than the other. It's about having the correct hormone balance that works FOR YOU. The one that works in your brain. In your body.
