Worst part of today's REV Pit announcements is I want to read all those books NOW 😭

My students are working on their comps this week. And, as always, they're singing praises of @aealexander.bsky.social's comp-finder databases. www.aealexander.com/comp-finder-... #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

Whew!

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

I promise you there are no politics in my witchy romance about a group of diverse witches struggling to preserve a multi-tradition holiday festival from a mega-church owning corporation that wants to turn it into a Christmas only event.

Sorry folks you’re going to have to be sincere and earnest and uncool and otherwise lame if you want to defeat fascism

"But wait, if I have imposter syndrome... and YOU have imposter syndrome... then who's--?" "I got this," says a mediocre idiot as he confidently settles into the pilot's seat. "Oh shit," we all say in unison.

HANG UP YOUR KNIFE, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE ANXIETY. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Most folks going "aroo?" and "pikachu_face.jpeg" at the wild weather swings are the same folks who laughed and enjoyed abnormally warm (but stable) winter months in recent years. (As opposed to treating them as a huge red-flag, the final reminder to slash all carbon emissions to the bare minimum. 🫠)

For those of you hungry for #revpit numbers, stats, and graphs... Here's some pie! :)

No one panic, but it’s time! The sub window for #RevPit is open this weekend. Enter to win a developmental edit from one of our great editors. Even if you don’t win, we have lots of fun and you can learn so much about writing and editing. #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor #BookCommunity

Happy publication day to Hell's Heart! A queer retelling of Moby Dick... in space! Great worldbuilding, solid SF, romance, revenge, and deals with some real state-of-the-world themes through a fun and wild quest. 💙📚🪐 #SFF

It’s almost time!!! #Revpit #WriterSky #amquerying #writingcommunity

the library is so fucking cool you guys

It's Septimus Heap, so I'd live a joyful and chaotic life until I died in the dumbest way possible, like being turned into a button or something

#mangroves Planting trees in the sea could act as a huge carbon sink and save millions of dollars in storm damage every year. What is stopping us from doing it? | Live Science share.google/Wsk2IVlGpk9j...

Mo in the TBR corner 🥰

don’t ever lose sight of what’s important in life (the two fictional characters in your mind that keep you going)

"The best advice I ever got about writing secondary world fantasy was to write not from the point of view of someone encountering a world for the first time, but of someone who has lived in this world all their life." R.F.Kuang #writing

Abolishing ICE should be the *conservative* position. The whole system needs to be dismantled, and these fuckers need to be fired, investigated, and prosecuted.

Anyways.

if you cant find an eclipse in the wild because the mist won't move, storebought eclipse will do

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

Most writers: this character never knew their mother. This will become plot relevant later Me: this character never knew their mother because I Could Not Think Up A Name For Her

cannot stress enough that they are abducting legal observers left and right and people are hearing about this happening to other people and still immediately going “alright where can i go to help now”

a "pantser" is a writer who wears pants. a "plotter" is a writer who has no pants and plots to steal them from other writers

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

Also, at my event at the Jacksonville Public Library, I signed a bunch of stock for San Marcos Books, which graciously sold books at the event. So if you're in/near Jacksonville, you can get signed books from them too (they also ship if you're not near Jacksonville).

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Ain't nothing more humbling than showing your friends your trashbag head first eyes closed live fast die young leave behind a pretty corpse Bad Decision extraordinaire always in trouble character and them going "so this is a self-insert".

WELL IN FACT if you are a member of @sfwa.bsky.social, they have some health insurance options available, based on the same concept of pooling groups together (in this case other lit-focused orgs). This itself is a compelling reason for qualified writers to join SFWA. www.sfwa.org/2020/06/10/h...

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.
