The faces in the room during her remarks are saying it all. 💔💙 #NAACPimageawards

Absolutely

Congrats to all Bram Stoker finalists! So excited for each and every one of you. 🎉

Hi, this account doesn’t support racism or would-be kings. I’m just here to promote acceptance, love in all its forms, and books. Always books. P.S. Get a library card ♥️

Jump in. Let’s go punch Nazis. #photography

Don’t mind me. Just a little author with her little debut coming out March 11th. 🖤

Dear artists: Afraid of death? It’s coming anyway. Afraid of failure? We all fail. A lot. Sometimes spectacularly. Afraid of these fascists? There are more of us cheering you on. Don’t stop creating. Not now. Make art. Piss them off. Create. With anger. With hope. Keep going.

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

I’m just watching for the Kendrick Lamar concert 💅🏽 Otherwise, catch me on the couch with my books and snacks.

If you sit down to write and for some reason still think that your work shouldn’t be “too gay” or “too political” or “too much about race” or whatever else, remember that motherfuckers are out here throwing up Nazi salutes. The time to go harder than ever is now.

THE meme of 2025 for me.

I want a house with a large gothic staircase that I can run down in the middle of the night dramatically

Whew. 10 days into 2025 and I’m going to need a strong glass of wine. 😮‍💨 🍷

Good evening Bluesky, here to report that it was not a blue sky today. That is all.

Wednesdays are for Indies! We are all about promotion of the indie here. Are you a indie artist or author? Post links to your work! This is the place to brag about your work. Or do you know an indie that needs to be seen? Post a link. Sharing is caring after all. We also welcome you to post…

Support indie authors by following this starter pack. More authors will be added, so check back often. Are you a published indie author (or will be in 2025)? Want to be added? Comment below and I’ll update it every few days or so. ✍️ 📖 📚 #indieauthors #writers #books #booksky go.bsky.app/SAFr6GK

IG will be much harder or even impossible to replace. There's simply no alternative and it's the primary advertising platform for many small businesses. I just wish we lived in a world that wasn't utterly controlled by billionaires who are gross. Eat the rich.

I support renaming geography but only with fantasy names. Gulf of Mexico can be the Cauldron of Tempests. The Rocky Mountains are the King’s Teeth

Happy to see more Bluesky friends! Welcome!! 👋🏽 💕

Bad Bunny really did it with this new album. ¡Durísimo! 🙌🏻🔥🇵🇷

I appreciate that I rarely feel any anxiety when I log onto this specific app lol

Ran into Santa last night and he confirmed that yes, audiobooks are a valid form of reading, and anyone who thinks otherwise is on the naughty list.🎅🏼🎄

Molly wishes you all a merry Christmas and an evil New Year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! ❄️ #booksky #fantasybooks

All I want for Christmas is to pull a loose book from a bookshelf and finally, at long last, find that it opens a hidden door.

Had to take her out on a walk 📖 ❄️ #booksky

Writers can choose between utter insanity or to not write at all. So, see you all in the insane asylum. 🩶 #authorsky

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness. #booksky

#booksky #memes #fun

My author proofs have arrived and they are BEAUTIFUL!! 😭 💕 #booksky

It’s mid-December, there’s still enough time to read an indie book, visit a small bookstore/library, or let a book consume your entire soul and manifest its power through you. Your choice, really. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #booksky
