Pro tip for my fellow college students: If your professor has set up their Canvas page in the most nightmarish way and you can't even find what's due next, go to the "Grades" module. Most everything due will be lined up by due date.

I love this guy.

What it feels like to finally finish the chapter you've been struggling on for a week #writingproblems

He's visiting an old friend.

In The Whistling Woman, the unnamed neighbor gives everyone stuff from her garden, like garlic bulbs and flowers. In We're Still Here, Clementine imagines being able to teach Jere how to read and giving him shelter. In Justify Me, the mother doesn't say anything to the police.

Online summer classes have started, so I'm tired. We're also getting ready to move to our house. I'm excited about that. In terms of progress, I'm halfway through the edit of my first draft. How is everyone?

We need Pride because I broke down sobbing when I finally accepted I was bi. I was terrified. Instead of thinking about dates and finding similar friends, I was petrified of getting corrective raped and murdered. I was 15. Happy Pride, I love you all 🏳️‍🌈 ( #Pride #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA+ )

No, not really. One of the things I've wanted to do, as a queer author, is write gay characters who are... just queer. Just bi, just gay, just lesbian, just trans, whatever. No fireworks, no big gasp moment, because being queer is normal.

Hello! I'm Bravery Walker and my goal is to complete the first draft of a 'short' (10k words) story I've been working on. I'm also a full-time student and work 30 hours a week, though, so time has been difficult to find.

Lonesome tree

This is stunning.

Features I really want on Bluesky: Polls The ability to schedule posts 'Groups' or a feature like it. Feeds are good, but I want something a bit more 'local' if that makes sense. Better insights into how your posts are doing. What do y'all want? ( #bluesky #blueskysky #blueskycommunity )

Just write down whatever words you want and then you repeat that process forever.

My body: I'm hungry Fine, I'll make you food. My body right after I'm done cooking: Uhhh, I'm actually fine now. ... Fine. I'll put it in the fridge. My body right as the food is nice and cold: Actually, I could go for some-- WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS???

The reign of dinosaurs ended 65 MYA, IN THE SPRING. How do we know WHICH SEASON it was when the Chicxulub asteroid hit the Earth? Because the PADDLEFISH bore witness. Let's talk about it. Paddlefish are among the most ancient lineages on Earth, with fossil evidence from 125 MYA.

no YOU spend several minutes rearranging and retitling your bookmarks bar each time you add something new so that the bar is exactly full and there's no space missing or unused 🙈

Can confirm, this one is a fun read 💙 📚

Happy Pride Month, everyone! I post all of my works for free, and I have two for my LGBTQ+ family. A WLW short story braverytewalker.weebly.com/short-fictio... And a long poem for trans rights! braverytewalker.weebly.com/poetry/bread Love you all and hope you enjoy yourselves!

Nothing makes me want to read an intelligent book more than when idiots ban it.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

The death of a neighbor who annoyed him. She was always whistling and it drove the neighborhood mad, until she was murdered. braverytewalker.weebly.com/short-fictio...

"what if my art is ugly or bad?" what if you were someone's favorite artist. what if someone was inspired to become an artist because of you. NEVER stop posting your art!!

Just an absolutely horrible sex ed teacher. Refused to teach us anything about safe sex and fear mongered about STIs to a degree that even my nurse mother found obnoxious. I had fun writing well-researched essays that disproved her drivel. She had to give me a good grade too, hehe.

Favorite part about writing is I can talk about niche stuff. You don't know about flame painting? Boy howdy, you're about to. ( #writing #writesky #writingcommunity )

I am doing just disgusting things to get people to read my work like... asking people to read it, or... promoting it. Just horrible, awful things. 😭

I'm an avid fish keeper. I currently have a four-year old betta who gets live blackworms and liquid vitamins. ( #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky )

Maybe this one will work.

She wanted a milkshake.

Went to the bank today to talk about money crap. We get to talking about investing and he goes on a spiel about how we can 'ask' gemini about Roth IRA. I could not hide the look on my face fast enough, because when I tell you this man looked FRIGHTENED XD

He had NO idea, officer. Honest!

🧵What happens when libraries can't preserve the knowledge they collect? 📚⚠️ @Brewster.Kahle.org warns that the systems connecting libraries, readers, and cultural memory are becoming dangerously fragile. Read Preserving the Library System in VANISHING CULTURE ⤵️ archive.org/details/vani...

The draft feature is extremely useful to me, because I like writing alt text, but it can be a massive pain on my small phone. I can take a photo, put it on here, set it as a 'draft,' and then add the alt text on my laptop. Typing on a laptop is SO MUCH EASIER than on a phone.

My favorite part of buying books is reading all/most of them, filling up my shelves, and then donating them to the public library--and doing it all over again! ( #library #libraries #publiclibrary #publiclibraries )

The worst part of reading a good book, as a writer, is knowing how much better the book in your hands is compared to everything you have ever written. One day... One day.

I can verify this. Starter packs are EXTREMELY useful on Bluesky because it has no algorithm. Indie's starter packs are great for any writers who just came here or for any writer who wants to follow more writers. Have I said writers enough?

No, I'm literally not. I never have. I write my words myself. People are gaslighting the fuck out of you by saying 'everyone uses ai'. No, we don't. We literally fucking detest it.

I’m Rebecca! I write mostly SFF, with lots of romance and horror sprinkled in. History nerded too close to the sun and got a PhD. I’m always behind and going a bit mental. My ~main focus~ WIP is the sequel to ‘The Wish and the Demon’ - my urban fantasy romance from last year. ☺️ #WeeknightWriters

Justify Me is easily my darkest work, and The Daughter is extremely disciplined. She has to be. She's a 'feral' child with a soldier's posture. braverytewalker.weebly.com/short-fictio...

AI is such hot garbage, and it’s delightful to see more of the populous rejecting it as they should. It’s not coming fast enough for my taste but realization is dawning on the masses.

I think the only work I have that can touch on this would be We're Still Here, and that world would be extremely ableist against any disabilities because of the destructive "kill or be killed" culture. You can imagine. Clementine, though? Hopefully, he'd be an exception to that mindset.

Hello! I'm Bravery and my current WIP is titled My English Project. It's another short story that's so long, it's practically a short novella (11k words currently), and it's yet another attempt to rip my readers' hearts out! YAY! Also, WE GOT A HOUSE. WITH A BACKYARD FOR DOGGY! #WeeknightWriters

I recently uploaded a short story, Rocks, on my website. I enjoyed writing from an albatross's POV, funny enough. 🔗 braverytewalker.weebly.com/short-fiction #WeeknightWriters

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Or diapers, or medicine. I saw nothing 🫥
