At this time, I do NOT post my original fiction to AO3. Partly due to the fact I am trying to get it traditionally published. However, if you enjoy reading fanfiction, I do post that to AO3. I currently only write for The Legend of Korra (TLOK) and Supergirl (Arrowverse) fandoms. Some of these stories… Continue reading My Writings on AO3

My Open Letter to City Designers
I originally wrote this email for the Des Moines City Council. For the past year, I’ve adjusted the verbiage to reflect what I’ve heard in their City Council Meetings with the Public. I also adjust the bullet points and actions I (and others) wish to see them take. Otherwise, most of the letters are verbatim… Continue reading My Open Letter to City Designers
Building Communities of Care and Liberation
We need to build better communities of care and support, desperately. With how our society keeps refusing to acknowledge the pandemic (Covid levels are so high in my state right now that it’s dangerous to go out), it makes existing with other people even harder, and often disabled, marginalized folks like me get left behind.… Continue reading Building Communities of Care and Liberation
The traumatic Reality
People are suffering from several massively terrifying things all at once: Why do you think so many went along with Nazism in the 30s? Why do you think people turned a blind eye to the horrors done to the Black community again and again? Why do you think people refused to acknowledge AIDS? Acknowledging reality… Continue reading The traumatic Reality
What we Know about XBB 1.5 and Long Covid
I’ve heard folks talking about XBB 1.5 “Kraken” variant, especially with some confusion as to what its symptoms are since they differ a bit from the more common symptoms seen with Delta and earlier variants. (As a side note, the name “Kraken” was actually coined by T. Gregory, a epidemologist/immunologist that’s on Twitter. He’s been… Continue reading What we Know about XBB 1.5 and Long Covid
Ways of Learning
Curiosity, Creativity, Compassion, and Cooperation are the 4 C’s of human nature. A fifth C is the darker side of our nature: Control. In past (and non-western or Indigenous) societies, they educated their youth through self-directed learning that required a high level of respect, cooperation, creativity, and mutual exploration. Adults guided the children rather than… Continue reading Ways of Learning

Let’s Unlearn Capitalism Myths
I think this needs said: The framework that society shoved into us is capitalistic and it tries to teach us that the capitalistic view of reality is the ONLY view. This socialization is full of myths that aren’t actually true. There are many worlds within our biosphere of Earth, and we need to understand that… Continue reading Let’s Unlearn Capitalism Myths
