#CoverReveal for my debut fantasy novel, "We Who Walk in Shadow," to be released this fall! 10 years ago last week, the eulogy at a family member's funeral mentioned that he'd always wanted to be a writer. Well, in his honor, I decided not to let those words be spoken at my funeral. For you, M.N.

This Pride Month, let us feel free to block every single person who uses homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, fatphobia, racism, or any other bigotries in an attempt to insult the fascists in power. Let's make our feeds a little more joyous, and a little more on point with politics.

Trump would want to do that, too. Then his carcass might not drown in piss.

Can we have more mayors like this? Like... ALL the mayors?

"That unknown is a hard one to carry. & to continue to do what you do, Ari, even when it proves a sharp reminder of your own loss..." "Everyone deserves their happily ever after," she shrugged helplessly, still not sure what to do with sympathy that did not condescend. - When Morning Comes #WIPSnips

The AI shills are as obvious as the bogus emails. The faux concern. The attempt to sanction immoral actions by scale - it's only a *little* theft and pollution that pays techbros a *minimum* amount. Get fucked.

A huge Happy #Pride month to all who celebrate! And a huge Fuck Off to all who don't!

This is a nibbled-to-death-by-ducks kind of Monday. Nothing tremendous has gone wrong, but a hundred little things are just not quite right. Example: I failed to properly close my travel mug before putting it into my bag. Now the bag, along with most of its contents, is drenched in strong tea.

Just make all bathrooms a collection of stalls with sanitary bins in them and have done with it, for fuck's sake. (In a perfect world they'd all be self-contained with sinks as well, since that'd mean folks can clean up and deal with moon cups and similar)

#JuneWorldbuilders 1 In "We Who Walk in Shadow," demons embody forces of nature—fire, nightmare, hunger, darkness, the sea. They stand in opposition to the gods, whose role is to regulate these forces. Demons aren't inherently cruel, but they are without compassion or kindness. 1/2

All versions are pending on Amazon as much as I hate it. Already caught a typo in the ebook. Most of it’ll get fixed in a few days. I highly doubt this book will do well with the cover but that’s okay. The point of this book wasn’t to sell. It was about completing something and following through.

In Japanese, "cherry boy" means "male virgin". "Salaryman" is a salaried worker. These pseudo-English words carry meanings native speakers would never use. An essay on how borrowed words serve the receiving language, not the donor. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #langpolicy

TEA ALERT: This morning's #tea is Ty-Phoo Extra Strong. Stay strong.

Hi. Librarian here. Let me settle this once and for all: audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. It's all fucking reading. Stop gatekeeping and stfu. Thank you an have a good night.

Do we really want a repeat of the Great Croissant Scandal of 2023?!?!???!? ...Yes. Yes we do.

Holy fluff word, Batman, I have more "rooms" than that movie that just came out. Anyway, here's Leecie getting yoinked out of sleep by a Plague Attack #WIPSnips

SWs & NSFW artists were the first people here on bsky. They built this place long before anyone else had the balls to come here from xitter. To not support them now they're being erased is weak as fuck. To silently hope they leave is sick. To actively push them out is colonialism 🤬🤮

This was an awesome event—thought-provoking, entertaining, and informative all at once.

I imagine this is why @moondog247.bsky.social never asks me what I'm thinking about

TEA ALERT: This morning's #tea is Barooti Assam with cacao nibs, honeybush, and ginger. You may now resume your typical routines.

Make Impeachment Great Again.

With Trump turning the Freedom 250 event into a rambling self-congratulatory speech about Donald Trump, what was once intended to celebrate the birth and history of the United States will now commemorate its demise.

Post something random, or you'll have an AWFUL June! 👀

Without stating your age, post a movie that released when you turned 18. (Give or take.... Math was never my strong suit.)

Just remembered my one viral tweet, behold my greatest accomplishment

This whole thread will give me nightmares for years to come.

"The Circus Beyond the World" morphed in my head from a mid-1900s horror story about a malevolent magical box to a Bronze Age fish-out-of-water fantasy novel about a legendary circus involving a bizarre grimoire and a grumpy/sunshine MM romance. Weirdly, the opening scene remains almost identical.

Time to resign myself to accept that what the doctor called "probably temporary" adverse consequences of the surgery months ago may in fact be permanent. As a friend (who's married to a surgeon) told me: "There's no problem so bad that surgery can't make it worse."
