Articles Writing Authors

shared by Sunny Jackson on 10 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • To a member of a marginalized group, however, silence in response to bigotry can only be negative, because it connotes approval, or at best ambivalence.
  • I need to see pride in their eyes, not confusion or concern, when they look back at me. Hell, I need to be able to look myself in the eye, with my self-respect intact.

Fiction Stories Clarkesworld Magazine

  • We learn about some of the most important things in our lives vicariously through fiction.
  • I’ve known a lot of people for whom books have been profoundly important
  • Fiction isn’t powerless. And if the author just ignores the politics of their work, that doesn’t mean the book becomes apolitical. It just means they wrote their own defaults.

  • Think Black people are lazy and violent, but your work isn’t about that? I’ll bet you dollars to donuts it’s in there.
  • Reading is the same way.
  • He’s trying to be a better man and to create (in a small way) a better world by the way he chooses what he reads.
  • And it was a moral statement, even if it was mostly a private one.
  • How we read and how we write will always have moral and political implications. The only choice we’ve got is whether they’re unconscious or considered.
  • beautiful and damning distinction
  • best self
  • authentic self
  • Wanting to live in a better world is great. Working for a better world is great. It only becomes a vice when it keeps us from loving the world we’re in—warts and all. My experience is that life is full of strong women and weak ones. Venal ones. Active ones. Passive ones. Complicated ones. Unhealthy ones. Men are just as varied and complicated and screwed-up. Their lives aren’t our societal best self, but they’re who we are
  • Treating moral issues as if they were craft is asking for a literature of beautiful sermons.
  • reading projects that pull you out into different kinds of authors and stories are wonderful so long as the moral aspects of your reading list don’t become more important than the joy you take in reading
  • I would never argue that the power of story—and it’s a real power—comes without responsibility. But I would say that responsibility is both to the better world to which we aspire and also the broken, compromised one we live in now.

shared by Sunny Jackson on 09 Jan 14 - Cached
  • Historically, there were two gender-neutral pronouns native to English dialects, ou and a.
  • yo has come to be used as a gender-neutral pronoun
  • Since at least the 15th century, they (used with verbs conjugated in the plural, as with you), them, their, theirs, and themselves or themself have been used, in an increasingly accepted fashion, as singular pronouns. This usage is often called the singular they. It is widely used and accepted in Britain, Australia, and North America in conversation.

  • a word to describe how you experience the world
  • some people don’t understand the difference between labels imposed by outside sources and labels to help you understand yourself
  • labels imposed from the outside are not cool
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • who are they to tell me what’s going on in my own head?
  • labels for yourself, new ways to describe your own experience, thoughts, and desires, are amazing
  • the power of labels lies in their ability to prove that you’re not alone
  • if someone else out there bothered to come up with a word for it, it means you’re not the only one experiencing it!
  • Sometimes I think people forget how powerful that can be for people who feel isolated (regardless of whether that isolation is real or perceived).
  • I just am.
  • if I didn’t have that label, it wouldn’t actually change how I feel or what I experience
  •  Words are good, even if they’re describing a majority experience.
  • a demiromantic person is one who does not experience romantic attraction until they have an emotional connection with the other party

shared by Sunny Jackson on 09 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • A demisexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone.
  • In general, demisexuals are not sexually attracted to anyone of any gender; however, when a demisexual is emotionally connected to someone else (whether the feelings are romantic love or deep friendship), the demisexual experiences sexual attraction and desire, but only towards the specific partner or partners.
