Superman is literally the character of all time, what if we made a guy who just loves the entire world. he loves the entire world so much but he's different and he has to hide so he's deeply lonely. he comes from a planet and a people he can never truly know because they're all dead. he isn't mean or bitter but he is always angry because he sees injustices happening and it hurts him. and what if we made him able to hear it all constantly. also he loves flying and collecting weird alien creatures and he's powered by the sun.

Hey sorry I didn't talk to you for over a week time keeps moving too fast

Someone: Boop! Got your autism.

Damian: You better give me that back, that was a gift from my father.

Trying to keep your footprint as low as possible is a great way to self-destruct.

And I'm not saying this to people who take two hour showers during international flights while shoving red meat into their mouth. I'm saying this to my fellow activists who feel conflicted about heating their home on fossil fuels even though they don't have any other options (and struggle to afford it).

Like, we can talk about how 'consumer choice' is never going to save the planet and stuff, but more importantly: You are not a sin. Your basic needs deserve to be met. You deserve to be warm and filled with food that satisfies you and you deserve to see your friends.

We are not fighting to save 'the planet', that's a piece of rock. We want to save ecosystems and plants and animals, including people. You are part of that. Don't leave yourself out of the list of creatures that deserve to thrive.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Hello Neil, I've just finished "A game of you". It's a wonderful book (thank you), and it broke me utterly. I haven't cried myself to sleep over a story in years. The gravestone and the funeral were devastating on a very personal level (I'm trans, too, and I imagine my relatives would act exactly the same). A lot about Wanda hit home, but it also made it the hardest Sandman tale to stomach for me, so far.

I was curious if there was something specific that inspired or shaped her storyline? And in retrospective, is there something about it you would change or handle differently?

P.S. for fairness sake, I did make you a whale. Just a two-dimensional and rather awkward one

It began with my friend Roz Kaveney telling me about her friends who were being buried under their deadnames, hair cut, in male clothes, and my anger about that. I had no idea that happened, and it seemed wrong. Roz and the late Rachel Pollack were both good friends, and I realised that I wasn't seeing any trans women in fiction in 1989, so I wrote my own.

I made a few changes for the Audible adaptation.

Thank you for the whale.
