This is interesting. Maybe this is why I always listen to my second language at like twice the volume of my first language.

So it's all #statesrights when it comes to states wanting to force women into reproductive slavery, but it's just fine for the federal government to barrel in and tell states they DON'T have the right to stop zealot parents and “counselors” from abusing their #queer kids? Am I getting that right?

It's sad but true that the publishing industry has always been about making money but is now so obsessed with turning a profit that authors rarely get the chance to build careers. #booksky #bookstagram #booktok #readsky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #readersofbluesky #reading #books

To all the MAGA voters who FAAFOed and are now begging for empathy, here's a little dose of reality. There comes a point where individuals are so overwhelmed with unreciprocated empathy that a total overload occurs and they lose the ability to feel empathy at all +

Those of us who actually never supported #MAGA need to start keeping our receipts right now because in ten years, *everyone* is going to be saying they "never" "supported" #Trump.

So #Comey has been indicted on Trumped up charges (hehe). On the one hand, of course, Donny weaponizing the #DOJ for petty vengeance is just peak weak tyrant, but on the other hand, if the fear of going to prison happens to make #Democrats finally grow a spine, that would be pretty nice 🙂 #bluecrew

If you're sick to death of so many of the books you read being a bit too alike, check out my strategies for fighting back against literary homogenization. #booksky #bookstagram #booktok #readsky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #readersofbluesky #reading #books #scifi #fantasy #romance #bookish

It isn't a coincidence they're attacking medicines that can make pregnancy more comfortable and tolerable for women. Christians have been doing whatever they can to amplify the “curse” their deity inflicted upon women in the original Abrahamic creation myth+

Ruh-roh. I just realized I am using Freytag's Pyramid for the second book in my series. Not gonna stop, though. Just sayin'. #booksky #writesky #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #fantasy #scifi

Do you ever worry your writing reads too much like AI? Concerned LLMs are getting smarter and sounding more authentic? Here's how to stand out as a human writer! #writesky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #writing #creativewriting #writer

Morning BlueSky!

The irony here is the right has spent years howling about “cancel culture,” and honestly, I can't stand it in most contexts either. But the difference between them and me seems to be that I actually hate cancel culture, whereas they have a more “cancel culture for me but not for thee” type attitude.

If you feel caught between a rock and a hard place, as if you either have to write like crap or sound like AI, check out my latest piece. It’ll be the first in a series of articles I publish on this subject. It’s more vital than ever for us to fight back against the destruction of our work by AI.

OMG I'm so annoyed with #Dune. I mean, I know it was written 60 years ago, but is this really how these guys think of women? Do we only exist in their minds to be in awe of them and think about them 24/7? Was this just the prevailing mentality? Did they ever actually know a woman? #booksky #scifi

Tell me you're a millennial without telling me you're a millennial 😆

Don't judge me, but I'm reading Dune for the first time, after a long hiatus from reading works by white, English-speaking men (this is important). I try not to filter books through my intersectional feminist lens, but I gotta say . . . #booksky #booktok #bookstsgram #scifi #fantasy #readsky #books

What do y'all think about this topic? Do you write for your readers or for yourself? Do you think it's more effective to let your authenticity shine through or tailor your writing to what your audience seems to want? #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #writersofbluesky #writing #books

Men: If you don't want to be a frazzled married single mom, just don't have kids. Women: Fine. Never enduring pregnancy or birth actually sounds pretty sweet.

Can we please lay off the #Christian persecution narrative with this latest #massshooting? Catholics are not hated in the US because they're Christian. They're hated by a certain subset of Americans because they're perceived as non-white. Used to be Irish and Italians. Now it's Latin Americans.

Is anybody else confused about the whole Cracker Barrel logo thing? They weren't even trying to wokeify it. They were just trying to make it look less aged and irrelevant (IMO nothing can help CB with that problem). Is MAGA just looking to be offended by everything? #crackerbarrel #MAGAtears #woke

Yep.

These just get funnier and funnier

Need some more reasons why the #EnglishMajor could be poised to make a comeback in the age of #AI? Here ya go! #writingcommunity #writelife #writesky #writersofbluesky #creativewriting #writing

Is this mofo serious? He thinks the little plebes' solution to losing our jobs and having zero income and zero access to healthcare is going to be to pump out more babies? I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to be this out of touch. #AI #childfree #samaltman #birthrate #childlessbychoice

OMG this is so accurate 😆

Science makes you shoot rockets into outer space. Religion makes you shoot bullets into public places.

Statistics show that the #Englishmajor is one of the most regretted majors among #college grads. #AI seemed to make English degrees even more worthless, as it replaced #writing jobs faster than just about any other job category. However . . . #writingcommunity #writesky #writersofbluesky #booksky

The only large North American butterfly species that can let me get this close and live to tell the tale. Mwahaha. #nature #butterfly #monarch #beauty #insect #climate

I find it very hard to take religious women seriously when they drop sexism accusations. It's like, "you literally follow a book that says you're your husband's house slave and compares you to livestock or farmland." So...yeah. #politics #southpark #christian #bluecrew #maga #kristinoem #puppykiller

Why the fuck do people in bars and restaurants swing their fucking phone lights everywhere taking pictures? Other people are here. We don't want your phone light in our face. Your ability to share pix of your food with your three Instagram followers is not our problem.

I don't know why they're acting like this is only teens or some kind of new trend. I'm definitely not a teen, and I don't answer my phone unless I have like ten missed calls from someone in my contacts list, in which case I assume someone is dying or kidnapped. #millennial #phone #teen #genalpha

Five #songs I wish I could hear for the first time again, in no particular order: * The Summoning – Sleep Token * Perfect Soul – Spiritbox * The Bleeding – Five Finger Death Punch * Beast and the Harlot – A7X * Kundalini – Deadlands/The Pretty Wild #music #metalhead #musicsky #metal #hardrock

Fellow #indieauthors. Question about registering copyright. Do you use your #penname or your real name to register? If you do the former, have you ever had issues proving you are your pen name? If you do the latter, has it ever ended up attracting weirdos? #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky

OMG. How many puppies did #KristiNoem kill on #SouthPark last night? I think she's up to six. 😂😂😂

He’s gotta make his nut! His nut is probably huge, but his acting career has tanked! WHAT ABOUT THE NUT??? #ICE #MAGA #Trump #SouthPark #Superman

I think this is the life mantra of pretty much every #atheist and #agnostic.

Why do people keep posting #AIslop? Why does everyone keep liking and commenting on #AI slop? Here are some vids that are not AI slop. #floridalife #rainyseason #storms

Oh. My. GAWD!!! 😂🤣😅😆

NEWS FLASH: You can't make the minimum wage so low that people are equally poor whether they work for it or don't work at all and then wonder why "no one will work." This has been a public service announcement.

Who wants to read the opening chapter of my debut novel completely free? 😀 #booksky #readsky #writesky #booktok #bookstagram #books #reading #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

It would appear that, instead of doing something about the literally breathtaking amounts of violence and abuse women experience at the hands of men, men are now arresting women for SPEAKING about their violence and abuse. I don't want to hear anyone in the #UK complain about the #USA.

Are these people seriously bragging about this? For reals??? NEWS FLASH: When more people want to escape your country than enter it, THAT IS A VERY BAD THING! It means people outside your country don’t think it’s worth coming to and people inside it are actively fleeing. #MAGA #Trump #Immigration

Question. Why do people continue to engage with platforms they hate? If YouTube is censoring us, why doesn't everyone go to PeerTube? If Twitter is such a cesspool, why are so many people still on it?
