Everyone should read @sugi.bsky.social’s phenomenal novel, Brotherless Night! It follows the main character, Sashi, as she goes through the training of and becoming a doctor during the civil war in Sri Lanka in the 1980s. The book asks, who fights for liberation, and who is left behind in the fight?

No truer words #booksky

when im writing all i want to do is finish when im not writing all i want to do is write more. this is just like sisyphus

Stopping cast members at Disneyland. That means they’ll be kidnapping teenagers

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

I don’t feel bad that National Guard are sleeping on the floor with no access to bathrooms. we have testimony from children who were detained by ICE that they had to sleep on concrete floors, didn’t have access to bathrooms and were fed crackers for meals.

Being an immigrant in the US, especially those of us who fled state violence back home, is like being a fresh kind of hell right now. To lose your home, safety, and potentially life over and over again.

If you’ve been waiting to pick up the paperback of MIRRORED HEAVENS, today’s the day! Bonus sneak peak of new Maggie and Kai novella in the back, coming in 2026.

Man ChatGPT down? Who’s going to make shit up when you’re looking for facts now????

So, we’re expecting (not eagerly, of course) a new mass attack. We were warned. Okay. Drones are already in Kyiv. I ate an ice-cream. Going to read a book. I’ll keep you informed. We’ll make it through this night 💪

Enjoyed the warm weather yesterday and took photos of recent additions to my personal library! So excited to get to these books, I’ve heard wonderful things about them.💕

True story bro.

been rotating a new project idea in my head like a rotisserie chicken

I missed day 6 so we get two storytimes today!! DAY 6: What is the most creative way you've ever convinced someone you were straight? I feel like I've only ever used very uncreative tactics for this lmao. i had a boyfriend in 6th grade and I literally never talked to him #LesbianaRereadChallenge

And who they didn't approve of

I hate myself for this.

In more devastating news to people who craft & sew — The four major patternmakers have been sold to the same liquidator that helped with the Joann Fabrics bankruptcy. craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

Currently reading V. V. Ganeshananthan’s BROTHERLESS NIGHT, and what an entrancing book! The writing style is perfect for the story.

Both @sonorareyes.bsky.social’s THE BROPOSAL and Adiba Jaigirdar’s THE DO’S AND DONUTS OF LOVE are on sale from Libro.fm for less than $5 CAD! What a wonderful way to start pridemonth!

#BIPOCQTchat Actually, I'd love to support YOU! If you're an adoptee and want to break into traditional publishing, im hosting free monthly webinars for adoptees who wanna build community and raise our voices! Fill out this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/1u0E...

I think it’s hard for me to remember to celebrate. I feel like when it comes to pride I get very protective and angry and it’s hard to find queer joy. I’m not sure how to remedy that. #BIPOCQTchat

4. I feel like I get a lot of inspiration from the chaos of my Mexican family shenanigans. I have a really big, really fun family and our culture absolutely seeps into my writing #BIPOCQTchat

please buy my book 🤪 but also follow me and befriend me if you want, writing is lonely 🤧 bookshop.org/p/books/till...

I'm hosting a re-read party/challenge for The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School starting tomorrow until June 28 to gear up for the release of the spinoff! info here: bsky.app/profile/sono... #BIPOCQTchat

My next book, a queer YA "Solo Stan" comes out next week! You can preorder it and tell all your friends to preorder it! #BIPOCQTchat

#BIPOCQTchat I think of the next generation. What can I do to leave this world better than when I found it? Also, there's room for mixed emotion. Pride, peace ans joy for finally accepting myself for who I am. And rage, remorse, and longing, for what could've been if I hadn't grown up Mormon lol

I’m not on here as much as I should be (sorry!!) but I’m active on IG and Threads at JessicaLewisAuthor. And!! You can join my newsletter for freebies and to listen to me yap at my website: www.authorjessicalewis.com #BIPOCQTchat

It’s tough to balance. I try to focus on how far we’ve come. Today I made a rainbow stack of queer books and they were almost all from BIPOC authors! You couldn’t do that even five years ago (at least, in traditional). I feel lucky to be where we are and I want to help go further still #BIPOCQTchat

Not too much else for me but I'm on Instagram and Threads, if you would like to join me! Instagram: www.instagram.com/vanshikasboo... Threads: www.threads.com/@vanshikasbo... I'm usually pretty absent from social media, esp rn but I try to stay connected and post about books! #BIPOCQTchat

#BIPOCQTchat omg I mean everything I write is influenced by my identity. But I always try to think of future generations who have to experience difficult things like queerness in high demand religion, adoption trauma, being mixed race in a world of boxes etc. Its about uplifting minority voices!!

I wish I was better at balancing my existentialism about our political climate. I don't have any proven way of balancing, but what I'm starting to do is to partake in grassroots movements, and to read the works of activists from the 20th century to see the roots of our current discord. #BIPOCQTchat

"this shardstruck world has always been cruel, always been a trial by fire and disease, but why has it taken so much from me?" #BIPOCQTChat

#BIPOCQTChat Omg I was working on it last night and I shared a snippet on my socials bahahah

"I didn’t have edging a sleep paralysis demon on my senior year bingo card but here we are." Not really a WIP but I'm revising Ghosted rn as we speak 😆 #BIPOCQTchat

3. Yesterday, we were each a single drop of blood. Tomorrow, it will rain. genuinely wanna put that on the back cover lol (not the telenovela wip) #BIPOCQTchat

In a lot of aspects, now that I think about it. I share a career w/ my MC in paramedicine. My education in history informs my worldbuilding & political/religious implications on the plot/characters. My current education helps identify economic fractures/tensions b/w countries in my ms. #BIPOCQTchat

I don't have a favourite yet, but my first line is: "Neha couldn't stop the bleeding." #BIPOCQTchat

I'm A.Z.! I'm currently trying to wrap up the draft of my last Shakespeare retelling (for now, probably) and preparing to move onto a fun little romcom I've got in the works #BIPOCQTChat

Hi! I’m Louangie and I’m currently working on [REDACTED] 🥰🥰🥰 #BIPOCQTchat

#BIPOCQTchat I'm so proud of the work I've done to deconstruct from my ultra Mormon conservative upbringing🫶🫶

I really like that I’m passionate and curious about craft. I once spent six months researching and learning how to self edit because I wasn’t satisfied with my skill level. I listen to feedback (even if I whine about it first lol) and change for the better. I think that’s pretty neat! #BIPOCQTchat

I'm just sort of proud of myself in general, which is something I would have NEVER said when I was younger. #BIPOCQTchat

2. I think I’m most proud of how much healing I’ve been able to do through creative expression. A lot of it is writing books but also poetry, music, dancing. I feel like writing opened the doors for me to dive into stories I didn't realize were mine to tell, and it's been like therapy #BIPOCQTchat

This is hard cuz I like doing everything.😅 I think I’m most proud of the fact that I could switch from history to medicine and now to economics in terms of careers outside of the arts. I just love learning and try to stick with it despite the challenges. #BIPOCQTchat

#bipocqt Happy pride!! Im currently writing my YA sapphic romance between a nieve pageant queen and an apathetic nail tech 🫶🫶💖💖

I'm Talia Tucker. YA Author of Rules for Rule Breaking and the forthcoming novels Solo Stan (June 10, 2025) and Ghosted (Fall 2026). I'm currently writing about GHOSTS. I can't stop for some reason. And currently reading some smut lmfao #BIPOCQTchat
