@sgj.bsky.social Utah and Utah Humanities couldn’t be more thrilled about this!!!

welcome to my website that's a leftist safe haven for sex workers and queers- uh I regret to inform the sex worker and queers that we will be kicking you freaks off the curve for more advertiser friendly business.

Writers, is anyone else writing secondary world fantasy/ epic fantasy or SciFi-Fantasy? Tell me about your wip! I'm always happy to connect with fellow SFF writers, especially queer and or neurodiverse ones, but I can never find enough secondary world/ epic/ SciFi-fantasy moots.

Keep sharing Keep donating Keep going The African Translation Project is at 42% of their goal! just TWO DAYS left! We want all three of their goal books! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

I want to emphasize - no one should give more than is comfortable. That's not the point. But $125 a day from the entire English-speaking world to fund a translation of a Kiswahili book exploring masculinity and culture is so cool and reasonable it really should be zipping by and all over the feed.

Hello again! I am one of the moderators of the upcoming Intersex Jam on Itch. We want to promote & encourage the creation of art featuring human or human-adjacent characters with real-life intersex variations. itch.io/jam/an-inter... #itchio #gamejam #actuallyintersex #intersex #intersexjam2025

Hello! An Intersex Jam (focused on works about characters living with the real-life medical variants between dyadic male and female) has been published, and will be beginning at the end of May. More information is provided through the link: itch.io/jam/an-inter... #itch #gamejam #intersexjam2025

Dictation is ridiculous. Look at this nonsense. I have not stopped pausing to think and consider, so there is not a notable difference in style. The only difference is the fact that I am not fighting against hands that hurt. Ridiculous. One thousand words in 40 minutes. Unthinkable.

Buy physical OR see if authors are pubbing their books on places like itchio. You can buy books from itchio and then you OWN it! Like actually! You get the files and everything. If you prefer to read digitally, support the indie book space now more than ever.

Really I think that, if CrepAng is "Countless societies have already experienced apocalyptic events, and the unsustainable blood-as-fuel mindset that causes it must be consciously recognized to understand the larger cycle of misery"

Because I'm a book reviewer and because (most) author websites are useful/fun/informative and don't make you sign in or buy anything just to look around... LTB will (eventually) have a section just for author websites. Submit yours today! 💙📚🌈🦄🚀 #BookSky forms.gle/ebMXkUV5xTKP...

I was plagued by a weight and had to exorcise it once again.

This is AWESOME

I've been tossing around cover ideas, and think I've hit a nice and comfortable update. Before (2023) / After (2025).

Calling all indie writers, avid readers and underground authors! Drop your links to your books and gimme 2025 book recommendations. I got a handful in my last post, but now I feel like calling out more into the bluesky algorithm. Once I finish The Alchemist, I'll start up the recs and review!

please enjoy this "vintage movie poster" I saw in a dream which was so funny to my subconscious that I immediately woke myself up to write it down for later

Happy birthday to Bram Stoker, who knew exactly what he was doing with this letter to Walt Whitman

Newsletter: We're at peak AI - generative AI models have hit the wall where they won’t improve much further thanks to a lack of training data, killer apps or any kind of sustainable business model. The results of a collapse could be catastrophic. wheresyoured.at/godot-isnt-making-it

Today's my birthday! You ain't gotta get me anything but if you're so inclined to spare a like and a RT, I'd be thankful! Trying to build up again on a new social media platform is a pain. ✨Some of my work✨

aaaaaa!!! my book about the Death of Mountains coming for a middling hill in the Appalachians who doesnt want to die comes out NEXT MARCH!!! beware the Ides of March, because Death of People’s got a story for you, and it goes like…

I've recently gotten around to reading a handful of written works by Verse Atoui, a wonderful indie author (largely romance-aligned short stories, nonhuman themes, very queer). I had a fantastic time, and left reviews on each: itch.io/c/4209262/my...

I’m now on Itchio! I’ve been waiting till all my books were off KU to make the leap, and now it’s finally time! All my writing is also still available through ‘ZON - but I recognize mine and others need for a better and more fair platform. Come find me! juniperlake.itch.io #indieauthor

Heads up if you've got games on itch. io: You need to go into your dashboard and tag them as non-AI or they'll stop showing up in searches. (This is generally a good thing- it's going to remove the ML- generated cruft from circulation 🤘) #TTRPGs

Happy 22nd birthday, Morrowind.

Realised I've shilled DRAGONERS here but not my novel THE DEVOURERS. This one's for the sickos (& Romantics), a dark queer mythic realist fantasy; a pack of immortal shapeshifters migrates from Europe to the Mughal Empire in the 17th c, & the snarling wake of their arrival ripples into modern India.

did you know that one in three people is actually the demiurge in disguise, wearing the mask of a human in order to better understand itself and its creations? is this you? here’s how to check: 🧵📝👇

"The grift exploits our cultural belief that books are meaningful, that writing a book is a valuable act, that reading a book will enrich your life. When it’s finished, you’re left with something that’s not a real book but a book-shaped digital file filled with nothing of any use to anyone at all."

It's Signal Boost time, folks. If you've got a creative project you want to promote, leave the details people need in replies .  That has to include a title, or a link. If it's a crowdfunder pre-launch, let us know 2 weeks out from launch. We'll include as many as we can in this week's issue of TFL.

Have you ever wanted to explore out of bounds, but got stopped at the border? On PC, you can easily gain access to these regions in Oblivion and Skyrim by going into the game's ini file and changing "bBorderRegionsEnabled" from "1" to "0".

While yeah, the way plurality is shown in media isn't great most of the time, I can't help thinking of that one meme where its like... "This is Daniel. You won't like him when he's angry, that's when DARK Daniel comes out..." and it never fails to get us cackling like an idiot, its so stupid.
