So we can’t quote Johnny Cash lyrics on Bluesky now?

The ebook for my Halloween Special “The Bride of Usher” is now available for free. You can download it from my newsletter library. weaversdeepthoughts.com/library/p/th... #Booksky #horror #scifi

the point of camo for a soldier is to obscure their position from the enemy. camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless. police only dress this way to project an image of power they should not have.

This past Halloween was two book anniversaries for me. Sweet Sixteen Killer turned 5 years old and Her Last Halloween turned 2 years old. To honor that, the two of them are free as a digital bundle and the third story Jonah of Olympic is $2 off. Link — weaversdeepthoughts.com/library/merc....

I think two ideas can help people lead a decent life. And that’s “be kind to each other” and “don’t be a dick.” They’re simple ideas. The first is to default to kindness with people. The second is to avoid being ugly to people. Many people fail both concepts on the daily which is sad.

The interview w/ @lanacasiello.bsky.social went great. A little longer than I’d hoped. I’m trying to pull out some deep thoughts in these and even with a short list of questions, we managed to talk for over an hour. We discussed Lana’s Hawaiian heritage, generational trauma and why she writes.

It doesn’t matter? Have these writers only seen the Craig James Bond films? Do they not know that like every ten years or so we wash everything away and start with a new actor and fuck over the continuity? Christ. Him dying is just the end of the Craig films not the franchise. Jesus.

Don’t forget to check out my interview of publisher @transfriend.bsky.social about growing up trans in the Midwest during the 90s and what little queer media was available to him. #publishing #WritingCommunity #QueerBooks #transrightsarehumanrights

My Kim Davis jokes. Should I keep doing these? I feel like she’ll always be a joke and good fertilizer for humor.

From the New York Times podcast about how women ruined the workplace, Andrews says, “So, I don’t know — I don’t want to say that we all know what wokeness is.” Conservatives still can’t define woke. If you can’t define what you hate, maybe don’t hate it. 🤷‍♀️

I think I have this short story “Blood Frequency” right where I want it. I don’t think it needs anymore editing or revisions. I think I got it. I can’t wait to get it out there for everyone to read. I’m super stoked for it… 1/2 #AmEditing #WritingCommunity #horror #scifi #YoungAdult

Here is the first of the micro-interviews from the #WritingCommunity. Publisher @transfriend.bsky.social spoke with me at some length a few months ago, and this is the result of that interview. Give Robin a follow and check out his queer voices publishing company @genderwildpress.bsky.social.

Kim Davis wept.

Dropping the first of hopefully many micro-interviews to Threads and my microblog tomorrow. I interviewed publisher Robin Taylor about trans representation in literature/media and growing up trans in the Midwest during the 1990s. #writing #lgbtq #publishing #booksky #writingcommunity #queerbooks

This Tuesday evening, I’m conducting my first micro-interview with @lanacasiello.bsky.social. I’m excited about these. Gonna try to make them multi-faceted as well. Please clap. If you’re a writer and want to sign up for this, you can dm or comment below to let me know. Other ways to dm me:

Started watching this whole Frankenstein movie. Hard to believe this is a remake of The Mummy (1999). They’re like two different movies.

Target Employee with a big grin standing 4 inches from me: How may I help you? Me:

Fellow writer Chantél Swart and I have put together this handy resource for authors. When you get scam accounts coming into your DMs, comments, or emails, you can simply give them this handy book cover for them to post or market for you. 1/2 #IndieAuthors #Booksky #WritingCommunity

I’ve made another dance video. This one is set to Janelle Monáe’s “Q.U.E.E.N.” And it has two of me. Double the Nat, double the fun. Enjoy yourself, happy Friday, and be you in all your life. #dance #video #dancing

I started a #microblog on my newsletter site. The idea was to have an alternative microblog that I have a little more control over. I honestly kinda think we all should start a blog and use it for our own microblogs. You can subscribe via RSS, ask anonymous questions, and comment. #bliogging

No shit, Sherlock.

New profile pic just dropped.

I can’t believe this is on Hide by default. I had to turn mine off. Check yours too. This pisses me off so hard, because I definitely cuss and apparently that’s worth moderating. But transphobia and racism is fine. Bluesky has also proven their definition of rude or non-constructive sucks.

Looking forward to tomorrow's breathless NTY and WAPO op-eds about how the GOP must move left to meet the populist demands of the electorate or face inevitable extinction.

Just about an hour apart by the way

Every time a judge in Texas refuses to marry a gay couple, Kim Davis is forced to stay with her current husband.

Fans of JK Rowling are not fans of Harry Potter. I think about this from time to time. They’re the people who hated HP back in the day because they hated witchcraft. They only like JKR now due to their mutual hate of trans folks. But these people still hate witchcraft. Selling them HP ain’t easy.

A movie you’ve seen more than seven times in a gif. In the early 2000s when I was making a lot of indie films, I watched Spy Game so many times.

This is absolutely going to be used to 1) further suppress Palestinians desperately trying to raise money to survive and 2) punish any marginalised person who is pushing back against bigotry posted on here 🙄

This.

Real talk: When I worked in content moderation, what I learned was how you improve the “quality” of interactions is by removing bad actors and cultivating a community. There’s no point in keeping bad actors around because their goal is to destroy the community and your platform.

This is so ironic because arguably one of the worst offenders of “reply quality” and toxicity is their CEO’s “waffles” reply. Jay is arguably one of the most toxic users on this platform but she’s pulling this number:

Bluesky could save more time and money and just teach Jay how to use the “only replies from these people” option if she doesn’t want to see comments from her user base because she thinks we’re all toxic and a joke for being upset with her about her transphobia and racism.

I am not mutilated.

This is #Halloween. 🎃

This Halloween I’m celebrating two book anniversaries with a sale. The first in my series, Sweet Sixteen Killer, is turning 5 years old and the second, Her Last Halloween, is turning 2. To honor that, they are free as a digital bundle and the third story, Jonah of Olympic, is $2 off. 🆓 bundle:

Celebrate @vebesterling.bsky.social’s birthday and pick up her short story for free. It’s a good one, I really enjoyed it. #Booksky 💙📚 And wish her a happy birthday on her post!!!

Every time a gay couple gets their marriage certificate, Kim Davis divorces her current husband and remarries.

Fuck AI. It can’t die quick enough. It’s ruining peoples’ lives and entire industries.

Why do some authors seem to do a gender swap when they pick a pen name? Today, let's explore this interesting decision... 💙📚 #booksky #bookblog #readingcommunity #writingcommunity poorlittlebookishgirl.wordpress.com/2025/10/22/p...
