Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor). You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

Someone is trying to scam people using my name and job, so please be careful of any unexpected interactions. Note: this is happening with other editors as well.

Astronaut Victor Glover, pilot of the #ArtemisII, and his family. They must be so friggin proud.. www.nasa.gov/learning-res...

TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS!!!!!

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

They are trying to eradicate trans kids, either by making them so unhappy they harm themselves, or by setting familial violence onto them. I’m tired of y’all acting like they don’t understand what the consequences here are. They WANT those consequences, they are the point.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

We sent people to THE FUCKING MOON and they’re like “splashdown will be at 8:07 eastern” and it fucking WAS that is genuinely insane to me like they had parachutes there were probably wind speed variables involved and they got it to the goddamn minute?! SCIENCE

Here's a picture of Christina Koch using hardware I designed the electronics for and wrote the firmware of

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

#QueerWritersChat I have nothing to promote, so as has become my tradition, it's question time! What's one of your favorite indie bookstores? Bonus points if it's a queer indie bookstore!

#QueerWritersChat Not yet! Hopefully one day!

#QueerWritersChat You're making me choose ONE?!! Jk, I almost always start with the fantasy section but will also check out the romance shelves too

#QueerWritersChat My Be Gay Do Crimes WIP is an adult fantasy romance, so probably the adult fantasy section 🤷‍♀️

Greetings, #QueerWritersChat! I'm Leah (she/her) and a few hours ago I forgot to transfer my laundry from the washing machine to the dryer and only realized it now... Also, I'm writing the first draft of my Be Gay Do Crimes WIP

Welcome to #QueerWritersChat! Our theme this week is: Book stores! Questions will also be reposted to @queerwriters.bsky.social. Remember to use the hashtag so we can see your answers! Save promo for the outro, please! Introductions at :05! @theodoresnapdragon.bsky.social #QueerWriters

Writers are you ready for the next pitch event? #MENApit is almost here! Here are the basics:

“Wow. I had no idea. One of the noble’s children transitioned at court, but I didn’t ask about the process. Updating your documents like that should be free to do through the government." #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Katie has her pre-radiation CT scan on Monday. I'm equal parts relieved and nervous that she'll be starting treatment soon. Her treatment will eat up most of my savings, but it's worth it. If you'd like to help out, you can donate, and if you can't, please share this post.

Don’t look now but New Hampshire is disenfranchising students. A convergence of the attacks on voting rights and higher education… right here in New England. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/03/m...

#QueerWritersChat I love support on Ko-Fi so much and it will also give you a preview of my ongoing trans mythical creatures art! Check it out: ko-fi.com/transcendrag... I’ve finished putting my original writer-themed art on Redbubble. Shout out to the person who already got some stickers and pins!

if you like anxious MCs (who are also autistic)(and have a sexual awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest and meeting its lord), preorder THE LORD OF THE WOOD #QueerWritersChat www.elizmanderson.com/the-lord-of-...

#QueerWritersChat A5: Still nothing to promote, so it's question time again: What is a book you've read and enjoyed where a queer person with anxiety gets a happy ending?

#QueerWritersChat A4: I'd rather not share a snippet of a character having an anxiety attack, so here's just an anxious snippet from Ness, the main character of my Be Gay Do Crimes WIP

#QueerWritersChat A3: Senera from my YA fantasy book about shapeshifters has anxietyTM. Funny story, I wrote her to be a "worrier like me" and one of my CPs was like..."maybe she (and you) have anxiety?" and lo and behold I've been diagnosed with GAD😅

#QueerWritersChat A2: Hell yeah! I second guess myself all the time, and a lot of my anxiety stems from a fear of being judged 😅 So you, know, choosing to write with the goal of getting traditionally published is rough to say the least

Hello #QueerWritersChat! I'm Leah (she/her) and I'm slowly drafting my Be Gay Do Crimes WIP. Today, I added 600+ words to Ch. 35 (the climax) and it's still not done yet. Said chapter is currently 4,300+ words (yes, in edits I'll split it into two chapters) 😅

A librarian was fired for standing up for the gays. Please help if you can. gofund.me/0e4809401

HarperCollins doesn't even have enough editors to edit the quantity of books they keep buying. They don't have a marketing infrastructure that markets a book for more than 3 months at a time. But sure, let's create a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

So just weeks after getting rid of its only trans reporter (me), PinkNews commissions an op-ed from Wes Streeting. Good grief...

Getting “serendipity doesn’t come from efficiency” tattooed on my body

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

The driver hesitates. Are they going to demand identification? Ness sucks in a deep breath. It’s not like Vivee can break out her ink in front of them to alter their papers. I went with the synonym "alter" for today's #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPromtps

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want 🩸

Took Mom to the ER because she fell and hurt her hip. Scans came back negative for a break (so grateful!), but she’s heavily bruised and advised to take it easy for the next two weeks. That will be really hard on us financially, so if you could boost that would be such a help!

Don’t forget to block bsky.app/profile/atti... everyone

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

"original" #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

* the desire to get my hair cut short and/or get it dyed a fun color intensifies *

they used the DSM-III to pass this. a version of the DSM that is so out of date that three more versions had been released by the time i was in grad school for clinical social work in 2006. they are now even further beyond that. this decision is outdated, unscientific, and TRANSPHOBIC AF

I'm getting married in TWO DAYS 👰👰🏿 and it would mean a lot to me to have the giveaway for my upcoming book promoted more (twenty copies up for grabs! I don't want to worry about social media this weekend!) so good people of Bluesky, please do your thing and repost this like mad.
