Point of View: Social Like It’s 2004…

Mastodon

A couple months ago, I shared why we were leaving the Birdsite. The lack of content moderation, the horrendous way New Owner is treating his employees, and the concerns about not having our content placed next to racist, queer phobic, misogynistic and other awful content were bad enough. But when New Owner invited Orange Monster to come back, we decided we could not in good conscience stay there. We’ve left our accounts there, with a note to follow us to Mastodon, because we were advised by a number of folks that if we deleted them, someone else might pick up … Read more

Point of View: The Wisdom of Letting Go

Man breathing into a paper bag - deposit photos

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. The Serenity Prayer (above, minus the usual reference to the deity) is usually associated with Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s a reminder to those in the program that not everything is in their control, and trying to control things that are beyond us often ends in heartache. I’ve been finding a lot of wisdom and solace in that prayer lately. I’m not an alcoholic – fear about losing control (there’s that word again) as a gay … Read more

Review: The Stark Divide

The Stark Divide - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a five star review from Ulysses at the Paranormal Romance Guild Universal Buy Link The Review I was drawn to this book initially because of the character of Colin McAvery. The presence of a gay character, with a partner, in a sci-fi series. What I didn’t expect was that, while McAvery is central to the story, whose epic sweep covers thirty years in the life of the Ariadne project, he is just himself. My reading trends these past dozen years have taken me to books that feature gay characters, gay plotlines, gay context. That’s not really what Coatsworth … Read more
