“Almanina Barbour, a black militant woman in Philadelphia, once pointed out to me: "The Women's Movement is the first in history with a war on and no enemy." I winced. It was an obvious criticism. I fumbled about in my mind for an answer. Surely the enemy must have been defined at some time. Otherwise, what had we been shooting at for the last couple of years? into the air?

Only two responses came to me, although in looking for those two I realized that it was a question carefully avoided. The first and by far the most frequent answer was "society." The second, infrequently and always furtively, was "men."

If "society" is the enemy, what could that mean? If women are being oppressed, there's only one group left over to be doing the oppressing: men. Then why call them "society"? Could "society" mean the "institutions" that oppress women? But institutions must be maintained, and the same question arises: by whom? The answer to "who is the enemy?" is so obvious that the interesting issue quickly becomes "why has it been avoided?"

The master might tolerate many reforms in slavery but none that would threaten his essential role of master. Women have known this, and since "men" and "society" are in effect synonymous, they have feared confronting him. Without this confrontation and a detailed understanding of what his battle strategy has been that has kept us so successfully pinned down, the "Women's Movement" is worse than useless. It invites backlash from men, and no progress for women.”

“The Forgotten Soldier”

Meet my Fallout OC, Odysseus “Ody” Fletcher!

A former Pre-War US soldier, who was fighting in China when The Great War happened, and then spent the next 40 years just trying to get back to the US and find his family that were living in Seattle.

He’s a grouchy, snarky, and sarcastic old man and I absolutely love him!

Esse é o último post do ano, pois entrarei de férias até meados de janeiro. Portanto, quero que seja um post especial: Teaser de meu próximo filme, Mocorongo. Previsto para ser lançado para o ano em dezembro. Estou muito ansioso para lançar esse filme, pois é um projeto pessoal que estou trabalhando nos últimos dois ou três anos e mal posso acreditar que ele já será lançado.

This is the last post of the year, as I will be on vacation until mid-January. So I wanted to make this a special post: Teaser for my next film, Echoes od the Amazon: Mocorongo. It is scheduled to be released in December of this year. I am very excited to release this film, as it is a personal project that I have been working on for the past two or three years and I can hardly believe that it is already coming out.

“The "battle of the sexes" is a commonplace, both over time and distance. But it is an inaccurate description of what has been happening. A "battle" implies some balance of powers, whereas when one side suffers all the losses, such as in some kinds of raids (often referred to as the "rape" of an area), that is called a massacre. Women have been massacred as human beings over history, and this destiny is entailed by their definition. As women begin massing together, they take the first step from being massacred to engaging in battle (resistance). Hopefully, this will eventually lead to negotiations — in the very far future — and peace.”

Amazon Featured Book-of-the-Week: "Traitor Comet" by Personne

Paris more than blossomed between World War I and World War II-it was considered by many to be the cultural and artistic capital of the world. Artists and thinkers from every corner of the globe visited or moved there, interacting with each other and developing some of our most exciting modern expression. In Traitor Comet, not even the troubled young Austrian Geoff Weidmann is immune to the…

At this rate, Hermes could probably do with some ✨Holy Moly✨ himself. The guy is clearly overworked.

And what’s worse, the only thing that he ever truly wanted in life was to be a ✨glamour✨ bard…That, and being a slightly menacing, mostly mildly irritating agent of chaos.

Imagine being Hermes during the Odyssey/Epic. You’re wandering around, living your little god life, then some emotionally destroyed sailor arrives to the island you’re on and organises a search of the island with his men, and you decide to help him out because an INSANELY POWERFUL WITCH WITH AN ADDICTION TO TURNING MEN INTO NOT-MEN IS NEARBY so you hand him a little magic herb that is totally NOT weed so he can, like, live. Then you go on your merry way as the Divine Amazon service, then your dad calls you to rescue THE SAME DAMN GUY from ANOTHER insanely powerful woman, this time a nymph, only now you’re fully aware that your family is PISSED OFF at this poor man and the woman you’re trying to save him from is ALSO pissed off because he’s leaving. Then you fly away on your weird winged shoes, presumably thinking “Gods, it must suck to be that poor guy…”. Hey, at least Hermes seems to be having the time of his life when he gives Odysseus ✨Holy Moly✨, good for him.

Between the Teeth

Today's the day everyone!

It's been over a decade since I started writing David. When I started writing about this grim, angry kid from Ottawa, a city I'd only been once in my life (I've now lived in Ottawa for almost nine years), I expected to embark on a fairly typical rivals-to-lovers story. Instead stumbled into writing a massive bildungsroman about a character on the spectrum trying to navigate a world he feels deeply uncomfortable in.

David's coming of age story, directly and indirectly, lead to me being diagnosed myself, which has completely changed my life and lead to my own sort of coming of age (or at least, coming of coping mechanisms!).

I think to say that David and I have been on a journey together would be an understatement: it's been a whole ass odyssey. I cannot begin to say how much this character means to me; the fact that he means so much to so many of you as well has been one of the biggest triumphs of my writing career.

Between the Teeth is now on Amazon (other ebook markets to follow in the coming days).

If you're a Goodreads member, ratings and reviews mean a lot and spread the word.
