I mean, that's just --

Ummmm I'm gonna need more than a post for this cause Shan's list is like

Shan: I just came here to have a good time lying and cheating and backstabbing, and I feel so attacked!

I don't know if my head hurts cause of chronic health issues, the weather, or the fact that I had (checks notes) three cocktails last night

While my books are more dark fantasy than strictly horror, there are many horror elements including body horror, teratophilia, and anthropophagy, My trans man eats people ✨ Series starts here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/k-m-e...

Perhaps someday we will be normal about trans people who write horror. I think insisting that trans people only make art about their specific identities/experiences and only make "safe" art is bad, actually. the whole point of horror as a genre is to explore painful and uncomfortable experiences.

Related to this — Chat what does it mean when you feel lightheaded, eat something very salty, then feel better Is this a diagnostic criteria

Me: you know that lightheaded feeling that comes after a stretch? My husband: … no? Chat, is this normal?

Oh Samuel, 100% If Shan and Isaac had met him even a couple of years earlier, their lives would be so much better

i am altering my sex. pray i do not alter it further

One more task for today: call your senators about HR 2616 The "Don't Say Trans" bill literally states it's "defending women from gender ideology." Cis women, I am deputizing you especially. Please make several phone calls to tell them to knock it the fuck off.

Before contributing to discourse, ask yourself how long would it take to explain said discourse to a person who isn't online. That is usually an appropriate way to figure out if it matters or not.

Oh god, they're probably freak out, thinking that Shan had finally gotten in too deep and gotten herself killed

This is why I get so frustrated with "you want THIS guy in the women's room?" followed by a pic of a trans man as some kinda "gotcha". No, they don't want trans men in EITHER bathroom. Trans men get zero options.

Also want to be clear: the specific context here is, e.g. banning trans men from the women's changing room after you've also banned them from the men's changing room. Complete exclusion, based on no principle other than awkwardly backfilling from "biological sex" then realising that doesn't work.

call your senators every day if you have to, this is so fucked reps.fyi

Rushing things!!!! I am a slow writer, especially in the development, research, and pre-writing stages, and every time I try to skip those bits, the entire story comes crashing down around me.

Awww hell yes

I’m officially old. I legit couldn’t remember if the game was Fortnight or Fortfight 😭😭😭

“99.2% of GPS patients who received gender-affirming medical care continue to identify as transgender into adulthood. Of the remaining 0.8%, most did not regret the medical treatment they received.” This is why transphobes are terrified of youth care, and why youth care should be legal everywhere.

You think some rainy gets you a day off?? Shan will allow no such slacking!!! Get to work, boys!

Actual thoughts -- it did not work because it was a pastiche of a pastiche of Wuthering Heights. The La Croix of Wuthering Heights. It wasn't even visually interesting but visually incoherent. Truly, the soundtrack is the best part, save yourself the trouble and just listen to that.

OUR CRIMSON CAGE is actually a great book if you're into that kind of lesbian mess

So who's going to write me the toxic Isabella/Cathy/Nelly yuri that would have been so much better Cause that was such a nothing-burger of a film

the nicest thing I can say is that this film gave us a banger of a Charlie XCX album

I loved this one so much!! Messy, painful, tragic, cathartic It's a queer and trans retelling of Hamlet that you absolutely need! Go preorder THOUGHTS BE BLOODY by @patrickauden.bsky.social now!

Please do not try to clock “balanced list of threes” as an AI tell because that’s been classic rhetorical structure for going on three millennia and it’s baked into all our writing now, I‘m begging people to read more old things

Forgive the awkward screenshot, but please enjoy this preview of a rimjob from PRINCE OF ASH

It's weird getting junk mail addressed to my dead name Sorry, that person is long gone!

HRT Access Fund is accepting applications due May 31, 2026 “Point of Pride’s HRT Access Fund provides direct financial assistance to trans folks who cannot afford their gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy” Link: www.pointofpride.org/hrt-access-f...

i will succeed because i am a pervert 🥳🫡

They're the same picture 😏

One of the best and worst things about being an author is being able to read books in advance. Cause what do mean I just finished an amazing book that isn’t out for MONTHS and I have no to talk to it about 😭😭😭

It bothers me that writing smut is looked down on for many reasons, but one of them is because how and why a character has sex can tell you so much about their personality. PWP can be a fantastic avenue for a character study

Disappointed to report that after beating my head against this project with no success, everything started to click together after I took some time off, read other books, relaxed for a while. Why does the sensible thing have to work 😭

Reading retellings can be hard, cause you can really like a character but you know what happens to her in the original and 🤡🤡🤡 This is fine

This is it 👇

*shakes discord* come on, let me talk to all the gays in my phone

One of my favorite parts of writing the Age of Blood was going past typical depictions of Blood Mages and Vampires and bringing in the Filipino Manananggal. It's a creature I've always wanted to work with, and it's truly been such a delight to explore with Isaac.

Those of us with chronic illnesses don't deserve to die, abandoned by the government, actually.

Two fabulous recent reads by trans writers include: MOONFLOW by @bitterkarella.bsky.social -- trippy mushroom horror that had me gripped from the first page THE WORKS OF VERMIN by @hironennes.bsky.social -- dense political fantasy with BUGS and impeccable world-building

Also going to plug @kmenright.bsky.social who writes some of the best messy, dark, political queers in fantasy out there. If that’s your flavor, do yourself a favor and pick up the first book, Mistress of Lies. share.libbyapp.com/title/10320120

When -- *is taken out by my publisher for almost spoiling the end of my own series*

Read a lot. Read widely. Read challenging books and fluffy books and nonfiction books and literary theory. As an author, your books are you craft, and constantly training those skills is the best think you can do for your art.

🫀 RELEASE DAY 🫀 It's finally here! My gothic romance, ALL THINGS DEVOUR, is now out in paperback and eBook, as well as signed editions on my etsy (with goodies)! 🦋🦋🦋

Isaac eats the rich (literally) 💕

REFLECTION RATHER THAN A WINDOW yes, that is exactly where we went wrong
