How about a promo day? If you're a non-American author that has been in any way affected by American imperialism please share your work and how best to support you under this thread. ❤️ #WritingPrompt

This is genuinely stressing me out because if you follow me back i obviously assume you're cool with it and then finding nasty comments from my mutuals after we have been mutuals for months is a little awkward, yeah? So can we not? ty <3

Scheduled reminder to not follow me back if you have a problem with people with any personality disorders, but like. Definitely if it's one i have lol?

Enjoyed writing a bit again :)

I hate the longer you're sick the less people care because im trying to signal it's rlly bad rn but it was already rlly bad a year ago so ppl just shrug

The joy of life is that whenever you think you reached a low point it manages to get worse!! That's art baby

ghost of a king

I swear we all did this a couple months ago but now we have to do it again.

Why are periods of great distress the moments i get out of writers block this is really not the damn time

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

Idk why i made all my writer space accounts when im barely holding on enough to stay alive let alone actually write

I keep getting stuck with my fantasy & horror stories so I'm considering. Maybe, big big maybe, to write down slightly fictionalised personal experiences? Has anyone done that does it fuck as hard as I assume it will

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production. If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

It hit midnight in my timezone and my mom was the first person to text me, within the minute 😭 love that

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Would love to close off #AsexualAwarenessWeek with a few sales, if folks are so inclined 💜

Hi! I'm Rey Rider (they/them), a late 20s neurodivergent transmasc non-binary writer of queer erotica. I currently have 3 short stories published: 🌶 In Their Hands 🫧 ALCAEUS 🍇 HYPATOS Find them on Smashwords: www.smashwords.com/profile/view... More info on my Website/Carrd: reyriderrr.carrd.co

Currently not allowed to take my meds and im having the worst time with it but i *did* end up writing a little so i suppose my agony isnt for nothing (help me)

im too tired to rehash this for what feels like the millionth time, but erotic art/writing which explores taboo themes is a scene between creator and audience. the characters are tools, no more able to consent or not than a flogger. the people who need to "consent" are creator and audience.

hey leftists. you know ppl with aspd, npd, or bpd. you know ppl with psychosis. delusions. who struggle with addiction. & yanno what? we hear when you blame powerful ppl's evil actions on the disorders you decided they had. disorders that we share. that's why we don't trust you enough to tell you.

So uh. Yeah. Got this done ✅️ Do you like remote cabin horror and feeling really bad? This is the book for you! Out on payhip now and coming soon to smashwords instead of amazon (bc it's taboo, tread cautiously and check CWs!!!) payhip.com/b/aAUSq

[Threaducation: NSFW Moderation & Personal Responsibility) There's a lot of talk about Bsky's new TOS nonsense, which kicks in on October 15th, but most of the users here don't even KNOW they have moderation settings to avoid NSFW content they don't wanna see. That needs fixing RIGHT NOW! 1/6

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

im grateful i started writing on paper again with everything digitally going to shit because you truly cant trust anything anymore

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

According to Danish news today they Will be scanning both text and images, and they'll be scanning your emails But the list of opposing countries are growing so please, please take the time to contact your representatives. Protest IS working #Chatcontrol

shifting my account more towards writingTM also means i barely use it because 99% my posting is mental illness displays and not my writing lmao

This is one of those things btw where calling/mailing VISA et al and being as willfully dense as possible is an amazingly good idea. Bring up everything you own that falls under the category 'fantasy.' Bring up everything you own with cat ears. Be a pedantic little fuck about ALL of it.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

It is FINALLY Moth Woods day! You don't know how long I've been waiting to make a post with my squishables 😅 Come for the cryptids and stay for the heartfelt romance! Moth Woods is my favorite mothman book yet. I hope you enjoy it! Books2read.com/mothwoods #booksky #indieauthor #moth #mothman

one thing about my ocs is that if they have bpd they'll have npd too and vice versa. i'm basing it off of my own experiences and my bpd and npd are entirely too tangled up for me to bother separating them anymore. my ocs get my disorders after being put in the blender real hard <3

Want some variety in what you call Visa and Mastercard for? Pick a movie with any sort of violent or sexual theme and say you want to buy it, but make sure to tell them about the themes their TOS doesn't allow. Ask them if it's ok bc their own rules sure don't say so and oh man it's just such a mess

Realised I only shared this one in the discord server and nowhere else so here you go! very very belated snippet share moment of my girl's first on page breakdown! because me too bestie me too

Bsky community guidelines got updated Please see the posts in the thread for context abt our concerns because the devil is always in how these rules are enforced. Rampant overcorrection that stifles art and gets people deplatformed who have done nothing wrong is a result we've seen over and over.

Wow. Can callers please ask this question while recording?

Paypal's fucking with steam. Bet they'd love to hear from us.

Out of UK jail time to catch up on everything they censored 🫡

This is why physical media is still so important.
