Vayl Larkin (they/them)

https://disabled.social/@VaylLarkinPoet

I'm a Trans, Nonbinary, Disabled, Wheelchair-modded writer living in Pittsburgh, PA, historical Monongahela Territory. I write poetry, plays, short fiction and some wildly speculative essays!

Whimsy improves most things. (Like the bunny and toy moose in my BG!) Those it does not, deserve their gravity and weight. Two things can be true at the same time. Eyes open to see injustice, heart open too. <3

So, long story slightly less long: I was (pre-wheelchair), outdoorsy in the extreme. Upstate NY, where I'm from, around the lake is rife with ferns, between the damp and the shade from all the trees. The smell of fern is one of my top favorite comfort aromas. If you wafted some dirt and water, a rock, and a fern frond under my nose I'd probably transform into my next evolution or something.

As a #Disabled #Writer, I find the idea offensive in the extreme that I need an LLM to do my writing. We are all able to create in various ways. I am also able to find Positive, Ethical, Person-Centered Assistance if and when I require it, and I don't need to steal from anyone to do it. Am I more privileged than some? Yes! Lack of privilege is also not an excuse for exploitation of others, surprise. I am Sick of my abilities and life being somehow both dismissed, and extorted for others' gain.
