Why It’s Important Not To Isolate Oneself To The Echo Chamber
A question I often get is: why do I engage with the leadership of SFWA and others who have legacy positions in science fiction? They clearly have it out for me, so is there any good that comes from talking? I had good relationships in the past with several of the legacy names in science […]

My new article is up in the Federalist this morning about double standards and the way we’re targeted and destroyed by them en masse, and yet we don’t put enough pressure on them for their horrific behavior to keep them accountable. The double standards for what constitutes a fireable offense in the entertainment industry are […]
Conventions Fight Back Against The Shrieking SJWs
