Niche post but if you want to write a story about a queer person in Europe c. 500-1000 CE your best bet is researching transmasc monks because there are surprisingly a lot of them.

Private Equity ruins everything it touches

The Devil Wears Prada Also, unpopular opinion ESPECIALLY from a sci-fi author, but Blade Runner is...not great tbh. Which is a shame because the source is so good.

when you're an author with a book out tomorrow, but also you do pole fitness (and also also you think you're hilarious) preorder THE LORD OF THE WOOD now: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I love how zero people have called out that neither the post nor the video itself gives a correct location of where I am.

Friend: Anthropic settlement has been approved. Amount per work = $3,127.28 Nnedi: I had 11 works in the settlement. I filled out their stupid forms, sure. But I don't want their damn money. I want them to go back in time and not have used my work to train their AI.

This is literally the one they make fun of in Ferris Bueller

Wherein I market @elizmanderson.com's new book "Lord of the Wood" from a corn maze in Richmond, Indiana. Did you know that the book's title is a nod to the fact that one of the main characters really likes the wood? bookshop.org//p/books/the...

friends, please: don’t use transreads dot org they claim to support trans authors, but take our entire texts, post them for free, fundraise off it, and have the gall to claim it’s about preservation they are literally taking money from trans creators and make it harder for us to keep creating

Yo. So. Fark.com is a wonderful site. It was one of the first sites I spent significant time on because weird news amused teen me. I met some lovely people there and folks there were (and are) incredibly supportive of my writing and of me as a trans person. Support them if you can

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

It's too hot, they're melting. #illustration #art

I found Fark.com when I was but a wee sophomore in High School. Joined shortly thereafter, and started submitting my own headlines by 2007 in my senior year. 19 years, and 11,673 headlines later, Drew needs help. Fark is the last bastion of the unshittified internet. A place with actual news

is there a pulitzer for photo captions because if so @theguardian.com just won it

Don't do this. Don't give me hope. Seriously though, if we can't kill it entirely this is a decent next-best-thing. Especially if there are real, and I do mean REAL, consequences for IP theft by these techbros.

#LateNightWrite #CourtroomGhost I don't have anything yet, but I'd love for you to check @elizmanderson.com 's The Lord Of The Wood (Out on TUESDAY!) and @anotherindiewriter.com 's Project Tasmin! Also, my aunt just got me a copy of @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social 's Wonderbook, so I'll hype that too!

Re-upping this thread because using Styles in your word docs as an author will make your life infinitely easier later

Only a few days left of the charity event! Make sure to get your book merch bundles while you can 📚 To end things with a bang, I’m planning a twelve hour stream with friends on Monday and then a six hour stream on Tuesday! Join us for games, art, a self-care party, and of course book talk!

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
