Most-Visited Blog Posts for 2016
According to Google, these were my most-visited blog posts from 2016. This is a list of GREAT SCIENTIFIC INTEREST, and totally NOT just a way to blog without having to come up with any new or original content today…
- Worldcon Expels Truesdale.
- If We Wrote Men Like We Wrote Women. Gender-swapping some bits from popular fiction.
- Fact-Checking Breitbart. (Yeah, I know.)
- Lionel Shriver’s Speech on Cultural Appropriation. So much facepalm…
- Yes, I Am Afraid. Posted shortly after the U.S. elections.
- Rape, Abuse, and Marion Zimmer Bradley. This one is actually from 2014.
- One Month on the Happy Pills (Depression). A 2012 post from when I started anti-depressants. I’m…not sure what kicked this up to the #7 spot for the year.
- More Worldcon Thoughts. A follow-up to post #1.
- Striking a Pose. Another one from 2012. A century from now, my books might be forgotten, but people will still remember “Isn’t he the guy who did those cover poses?”
- No, We’re Not All Disabled. An angry response to a column in SF Signal about disability.
- Thoughts on Steven Universe. I’d intended to stop at 10, but had to include this one, because SU is awesome.

10. Man, I hope Casil has gotten a clue from all the responses she got, and is doing better than her non-apology apology. Like, doing some basic research.
9. Yes. You are the cover pose guy. And while your fiction is great, the pics and discussion and charity is better overall for the world’s karma. We can do without a few more SFF books, but empathy and awareness are really important. Hugs.

Re Casil: My husband died earlier this year. When someone tries to ‘comfort’ me by saying something like “It’s all God’s plan, he died from “””” because there was a reason for it to happen” it doesn’t comfort me, it makes me steaming mad. All I want to do is hit them up side the head with a two by four. It makes me want to hate God. It definitely does nothing to bring me any comfort.

@Pat: I’m sorry. It sucks and you have every right to be sad and grieving and upset. I will hold them still while you hit them upside the head.
