AI is the new covid/pandemic, killing us and our resources. You have to sanitize it from everything you own. You have to wear a "mask" to prevent its spread. You have to warn others about it. And lots of people do none of these things to the detriment of others. 🙃 #BookSky #Art #AISUCKS

If you're looking for trans authors, this is your thread! (: And if you *are* a trans author, THIS IS YOUR THREAD. ❤️

When you want to finish the book so you can publish the book but you don't feel like writing... Not even blocked, just can't get my brain's attention. #BookSky #Writing #AmWriting #WIP #ADHDlife

I would definitely enjoy it if folks read my trans magical girl novels 🥹 magicariot.com

I don't even have an app... I've been in the bird game so long that I just say "Ooo that's a _" and get weird looks. 🙃 #Ornithology

John was raised to be an all-American man, but feels he's fallen short, especially as he's currently sitting in jail for committing a hate crime. Now he’s questioning everything he once believed, especially what it means to be a man. #RedemptionArc #BookSky #ReaderSky #IndieAuthor📣📚

I deserve a beer and a nap for how much I've gotten done already today! Does this boost my confidence enough to finally make that doctors appointment? No... No it does not... #Neurospicy

If you have kids, care about book banning, or value k-12 education, this is worth a read! #Booksky #Momsky #BookBan

I tried to read "I have no mouth and I must scream" by Harlan Ellison. My GOD the misogyny. 0/100. I only heard about it because it was a main inspiration for The Amazing Digital Circus but it's awful. Thank you to the TADC crew for doing better. #Booksky #Readersky #TADC

I'm tired of hearing stories of gatekeeping, especially in the sciences. Gatekeeping kills knowledge and discovery. So, logically, if you do it, YOU are not a scientist. Take your baggage and get out. #Academicsky #Science #Gatekeeping

Friday the 13th is awesome. Remember that. It's only "unlucky" because religious wienies decided to say it was so no one would celebrate it. So throw off your vestments, your superstitions, and enjoy the party! #Friday #Fridaythe13th #Freyja

Ah yes, the eye of the dystopian storm. A lovely place. #AliensPleaseTakeOver

My husband and I love reading to each other. It's a wonderful pastime! The only problem is... We both fall asleep when read to, so we don't get far. 😅 #Readersky #Booksky #Reading #Books

Time to sew something from scratch... Dear sewing gods, please be nice to me? #Sewing #TimeToCry

if billionaires aren't human, they aren't "monsters" (because those don't actually exist), they're animals. and you can't hold an animal to account for their actions. billionaires are humans. Nazis are humans. they are CHOOSING to act how they do.

I want a vampire to turn me, just so I can live long enough to slap the shit out of all the revisionist historians who are gonna try to make heroes out of these assholes.

I am not a romance novel person, but I tried to read "Lady Chatterly's Lover" by D. H. Lawrence because it's a classic and DEAR GOD. NO. Does anyone have some NON-toxic, feminist, *genuinely loving relationships* romance novel/book suggestions? Not smut per se, just romance. 😭 #BookSky #ReaderSky

It was a simple task. Pick up laptop to move writing locations. A laptop, which I never thought of as sharp. And yet... There's now a hole in my thumb from where it met my laptop. Cool. Time for a band-aid. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #AmEditing

Just finished this one and hmm. 3.75 stars. It was as advertised but a lot more "Starbucks and Instagram" vibes than I expected. I should've judged this book by its cover... Worth a read though. #Booksky #Books #BookReview #FeministBooks

Dear Global Warming, I know it's not your fault. You never asked to be born... But please give my snow back... Sincerely, Me and the poor wildlife.

When you hit page 750 out of 781 for edits and your motivation starts to die... #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky #AmEditing

You can use ideas that wouldn't work for a long format, plus it's a lot less to keep track of when it's short. For me, it's like the difference between making a delicious sandwich versus cooking a four-course meal. #BookSky #WritingCommunity #SpoonieAuthChat

Guess who learned not to read Poe before bed? Also, I cannot decide how I feel about the orangutan story... Was it racist or not?! #BookSky #Poe #Nightmares #WEDONOTTALKABOUTTHEORANGUTAN #Tumblr

I was not warned that when writing a book you love, it's a lot like *reading* a book you love but in painful, agonizing slooooooooooow mooootion. I know what the ending is already but when the hell will I finally reach it and be done?! #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

I hate the dentist. Because dentistry is painful and expensive? No. Because every time I ask them to take all my teeth at once instead of one-by-one torturously, they laugh. Where are my indestructible metal teeth? Just give me THOSE.

If you ever feel unqualified to write about something or like an imposter, just remember that no living historian is a Roman, but we have PLENTY of books on Rome. Do your research responsibly, then enjoy your writing. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

Husband and I are going on a classic-lit kick together and I'm eyeing the Icelandic translation of Dracula called "Powers of Darkness" by Aldimar Ásmundsson. The original Dracula read like a comedy to me, so this will be fun. #BookSky #ReaderSky #LitSky

“For most of human history, freedom had to be at least suffered for, if not died for, and that raised its value to something almost sacred.” -Sebastian Junger, "Freedom," 2021

Dissociating? Oh no no, I'm RE-associating... Elsewhere... In a different world... Yes, you come come with if you're chill. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

When you write dystopian fiction to cope with the dystopian reality... I'm fine. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

It is the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday. Dream all you want, but only action can bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice. And to do that, we'll need to combine power and love:

Do you feel more or less interested in cosmic horror with current events? It makes me feel better, but maybe that's just me. 😬 #ReaderSky #Booksky #CosmicHorror

Not gonna fight it anymore. My 700 page pet-project has captivated my brain and completely derailed any publishable projects I had in the works for another month at least. On the other hand, it's fun. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

I can print to the lab printer even though I'm at home so Imma spice things up by printing this

I want a DND board game that is solely based on finding the mimic on the board. That's it. The whole game. Who has the ambition to make my dream liiiive? #TTRPG #DND #Gimmie

I gotta stop fartin’ around and start artin’ around.

It's 2026 and we're all still here...? WE DID IT!

Just went 24 hours without coffee/caffeine, 1/10, would not recommend. On the other hand...the writing ideas/voices in my head insisting I need to type 24/7 were quiet for the first time in a week! #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Sooo I've been trying to read the entirety of Robert Frost's work... But then I hit his short stories and, lemme tell ya, I don't think I have the spoons to read about an 1800's couple arguing over their dead child. #Poetry #Booksky #SpoonieAuthor #Spoons

I know there's All The Jokes about feeling like a schizophrenic while writing, but we need more about how it feels like being a lunatic with a hundred sock puppets and only two hands, trying to keep track of all those personalities at once. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

Friendly reminder that the best gift you can give an indie author is a review of their book!

Being a writer means saying things to yourself like "ugh, I use that word too much" when you've actually only used it twice in 600 pages. 🙃 #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife #Booksky

Telling myself that I'm DEFINETLY going to work on my actual TBP book and not just my personal projects over Christmas... #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writerlife

A list worth reading, some of these gave me a good giggle.
