Breaking news: Imposter syndrome has been formally challenged.

The first book in my "Wazo the Wildcard" series is now part of the Ottawa Public Library collection.

Apparently, if you write a book and a public institution agrees to catalogue it, that counts as legitimacy.

Who knew.

Grateful. Slightly stunned. Carrying on.
(Two more volumes to write...)

People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.

The nuclear family -- as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers -- is an exceedingly recent invention.

Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting ➡️

I finished the original Majestic Prince anime today. (I still have to watch the special episode and movie.)

What a great show! I love it, one of my top mecha anime for sure. Izuru and the others are all great. Very nice take on "found family." Neurodivergent kids who feel very authentic... yup, lots to love here.

Right now I'd say my favorite mecha anime are Gqux, Majestic Prince, Strain and Brain Powerd.
