Though Jenner’s coming out marks a huge moment for trans visibility in the mainstream media, daily discrimination and violence is still the norm for thousands of transgender Americans. The rate of violence against transgender women, especially transgender women of color, is alarming – according to a 2013 report by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, an organization working to reduce violence against LGBTQ people, 72 percent of victims of anti-LGBTQ homicide were transgender women, and 89 percent of victims were people of color. According to the same report, transgender people were also more likely to experience violence at the hands of law enforcement.

Challenge #00870-B139: Never Hitchhike Drunk

“And that is how I accidentally fostered peace between two species and became mayor of Broccolopolis”

Let me tell you, there are some cargo haulers out there who can make Space Lightning out of anything that can ferment.

And freeze-distilling that stuff in Kelvin-scale temperatures gives it one hell of a kick.

And my brewer in chief decided to drop me off somewhere light years away from my destination.

A planet in the middle of a generations-long war.

By the time I

Caveat Emptor

I was derping around the internets today, looking for famous people to fling my book at… and whilst searching for Oprah’s contact details [she doesn’t want to be sent books BTW] I saw an add for Balboa Publishing house.

I figured - what the hell - why not scope them out.

Their webpage was just a form. Should have been my first warning.

I filled in the deets for a free book about publishing and promotion. They called me

Challenge #00869-B138: One Mildly Hazardous Evening in the Commercial Concourse

After many stumbles and a lot of explaining and apologising, how does the first date between little havenworlder and big scary deathworlder go?

It had taken some significant time in negotiations and a lot of
education on both sides. Ground rules established. Diets planned, they
now sat awkwardly across from each other at Unsuitable Food Eat.

Bear cleared his throat three times before he said, “I understand you’re insectivorous? Do you mind sharing a Hakuna Platter?”

“That
is…“ Ryll scrolled

Halp I don't know how to schmooze

Beloved just gave me an interesting question.

“Why not gift some copies of your book to some famous people?”

Now… I definitely don’t want to come across like “Hi, I’m Erika…” Nope. Hell nope. All aboard the nope train to fuckoffsville.

Similarly, I don’t want to wind up in the trash because these lovely peeps probably get INUNDATED with shit from peeps who want to latch onto their notoriety like some kind of lamprey.

I don’t
