https://bardicperspiration.club/@Mr_Briney

I'm a queer sci-fi writer in Michigan, with an interest in environmentalism and degrowth. I'm currently a college dropout, working as a network engineer, but I'm starting up on classes again next semester.

I'm married as of June 6th 2026, and my wife and I (above) are planning to explore some manner of ethical non-monogamy.

I'm a leftist activist. My most inflammatory position might be as anti-copyright.

If you want to talk to me about any of this, please do!

the main scifi I'm writing currently starts in a similar way: The characters are enjoying an oddly tense dinner party. As the scene goes on, I slowly include details that make it clear they're in a virtual space. The final reveal is that they're all basically locked down in their own bedrooms due to some unknown disaster, so they're hanging in [VR Chat] to help everyone stay calm, and to share what little information they do have.
Writing it keeps reminding me of the pandemic lockdowns, which weren't an intentional influence, but I think they did a lot to reinforce our social systems, because they faced so much unexpected burden so suddenly. I'm moving forward under the assumption that people today have a heightened instinct in favor of social welfare, and will act accordingly, both in my writing, and in real life.
