Hi #DVPIT loves. Be sure to look at my Black Authors starter kit for names and pitches as well. This algorithim is weird next to Twitter's/Xs and so what I'm seeing is a lot of Black Authors fading out of the algo due to typical engagement. #POC go.bsky.app/Thz8U7e

kinda sweet that bookshop.org's anti-prime sale overlaps with banned books week, which means today you can get free shipping PLUS 20% off their banned books list! bookshop.org/info/banned-...

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

There are still 30 spaces left in my Starter Pack for Black and Indigenous artists! If you’re a Black and/or Indigenous artist (mixed folks 100% welcome), please reply to this post with examples of your work to be added! Others, please share this post! #BlackSky #IndigiSky #artistsupport

For @blackscifi.bsky.social, I reviewed @zcheraime.bsky.social powerful animated short film Captain Zero Into The Abyss Part II, which addresses Black mental health through a superhero lens blacksci-fi.com/captain-zero...

As time goes on I find that the only sustainable approach to writing personal, good fiction is with the intention of it being a little fucked up for you and your best friends to giggle over. It's age old advice, I know, but I always viewed it as a "nice approach." No. It is the only approach.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

#destinidabble the altar is made of wetstone cutting prayer in half, congregation in fourths its edges are ridges its outlines are shadows its curves are spirals its grays are ashen its bumps are bruises its belly is bloodied its scripts are weighted its songs are strains its preachers are judges

#destinidabble on the outer edge looking meters and miles and minutes down falling, screaming, but lack of sound from no ears on their splintered heads with no eyes on their blank faces if I have to die, I can't die dreaming if I have to die, I can't die pleading if I have to die, I have to live

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

Emperor Palpatine was a human being with a family, and it would be rude to celebrate his demise. Shame on the rebellion.

All things considered, yesterday was a pretty great day 🥂🤎

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

1. The HHS Appropriations Bill is out and it contains several devastating anti-trans provision. It would bar federal funding for trans youth and adult care nationwide, which could be used to bar hospitals from providing it at all. Will Democrats stand firm, or cave to avoid a shutdown?

Not heavily advertised but I have this side website where I curse and talk about whatever with zero editing. I just posted about a Dracula movie. THE Dracula movie (Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)), if you will. terrorofcolor.com/posts/9111a6...

Heads up, Georgia friends! Alt text: Georgia has purged over 471.000 people from the voter rolls. Please check your status on the my voter page. mvp.sos.ga.gov

#writesky Whyyyy do all these epubs I try to export look like garbage. Yes, I am using styles, normal fonts, and auto identation features. No, I do not want to use a service (Atticus, even the free ones like Reedsy, etc.), I'd really like to figure it out on my own for now. 😔

Just adding something that could be important regarding this specific situation. Don't associates accounts with your public name into apps that you want to stay private. Separate both lives as much as you can.

Periodic reminder 1) Internet spring cleaning - just delete/scrub your data and account from any site you're not using. You can always make another in the future if you go back. 2) Privacy - Only share what's before the ? in a link, the rest are trackers. A little annoying but better in the long run

I’m going to make a thread about how the feds have changed their tactics here in Los Angeles because the community has forced them to adapt.

Yoooooo this fucking rules. I love a good action side scroller and the premise is awesome. Really solid trailer!

Happy pride folks I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team. We have always been here. dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictrans...

This is also happening in Russia www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

The arrest of online fanfic erotica writers (99% young women) in China is still ongoing, some are getting sentenced to 10 years in prison I didn’t see any newer international coverage of this but I saw on Weibo today that more writers are getting sentenced right now amp.scmp.com/news/china/p...

class is in session!

Reminder that I’m happy to help you move your Substack newsletter to a self-hosted Ghost newsletter that you fully own and control (and that scales more cheaply than Substack if you’re monetized.)

I am finally playing Blue Prince. It is an interesting game. Inexplicably, I'm missing Returnal.
