Kindle Vella: Pros and Cons
A review of the new Amazon writing platform On July 13, 2021, Amazon launched a new serialized story platform called Kindle Vella. As a published author through Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), Amazon notified me in April of the upcoming rollout and invited me to prepare a story for the launch. This has been my experience on the platform for the first month since it went live in the US. Before I discuss the pros and cons, let me first explain how the platform works.
Transing Our Kids
The truth behind the transgender agenda for children Photo by Sharon McCutcheon on Unsplash We’ve all heard the horror stories. Transgender people want to brainwash the children, poison them with hormones, and chop off their genitals. But what is really going on?

Moving Between Worlds, Deciding What To Do Next
I feel like I’m between worlds, between different groups of people, between detrans and trans. I don’t feel like I fit into either group. It’s surreal thinking of myself as trans after seeing myself as detransitioned for years. That was a huge part of who I was. And now my time as a detransitioned woman feels like it was a distortion of who I am. A failed experiment with damaging consequences for both myself and others. I was more or less disconnected from the trans community for around seven years.
Well White People, Are You Ready To Fight?
You can’t vote your way out of racism. It’s time for us to have “the talk,” but it’s not the one you think. If you’ve been following me the past year, you know I’ve been preparing you for November 3rd, 2020. Sometimes I’ve been a little angry because of how apathetic White people are. At other times, I’ve been a little discouraged by the number of White people unwilling to admit they are racist. My anxiety is unlike it was in 2016. Things feel different.
Bigotry is not a Matter of Opinion
Prejudice against marginalized groups is not a point-of-view Photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash This year has shown us the deep divide between people that we still need to overcome. Racism is still rampant and rearing its ugly head all over the world, especially in the United States. Misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia are equally on display. Too often I’ve had people tell me I should look past others’ difference of opinion and not call people out on their bigotry.
