Some weeks my #BlogPost is more about work, this week, it's all about the #CrossStitch projects I've (nearly) finished in the last two years. www.easilydistractedmedia.com/wip-and-upda... #AuthorSky #Creative #BookSky #AuthorBlog

Looking for your next read of books with trans and nonbinary characters? Check out this list! books.bookfunnel.com/transbooksfo...

happy *quiet, chill* pride

"Because it's wrong." Is a full argument.

happy pride month (now with alt text) 🌈🌈🌈

Especially, especially in light of Bluesky banning and shadowbanning trans, queer, and adult accounts on here, have a gooey thread of smut. Sex workers and trans people were early adopters here and, especially for furry artists, this place has been critical. Resist digital gentrification.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to £6,600 per year this way. That’s more than I’ve been paid by any publisher this year.

I always had super low grades on English, my best friend always super high. At one point, we put our tests together and found out that she was deducting points for repeat errors on my test but not on hers, even though we'd made the exact same mistakes. She shrugged: 'That's how I do things'

Did you know I offer special chibi commissions for indie/self published authors? AND I’m running a sale! $100 for solo characters and $180 for couples. This price includes the rights to make merch! If you’ve always wanted to get cute stickers or keychains of your characters, now is the chance!

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

Happy 11th birthday to the cute little #MMRomance #Omegaverse story that kicked off my writing career! www.easilydistractedmedia.com/vault/omegas... #FreebieFriday #QueerReads #BookSky #RomanceReads #SpicyRomance #FreeBook #Freebie

Today's post is about some website updates, a surprise #NewRelease and mostly me rambling way too long about some of the #Gundam series I've seen. www.easilydistractedmedia.com/wip-and-upda... #Booksky #IndieAuthor #NewBook #MobileSuitGundam

No, I'm literally not. I never have. I write my words myself. People are gaslighting the fuck out of you by saying 'everyone uses ai'. No, we don't. We literally fucking detest it.

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

A bunch of people reached out after this to ask me to create a place to help out with this, and after thinking on it for a week, I've decided I can't afford to not accept help. gofund.me/f6d5369f6

this game will be unplayable for six months after launch because every lego will have thousands of teeth that must be rendered in real time

Goo morning, monsters. Shoulders back chest out dorsal spines gleaming spine-shattering roar on the exhale

Lying is bad unless you do it via AI. False advertising is bad unless you do it via AI. Plagiarism is bad unless you do it via AI. Losing billions of dollars for no good reason is bad unless you do it via AI. Robbing cities of water is bad unless you do it via AI. You’re just embracing the future.

If your enemies are Amnesty and the Quakers, and your allies are Trump, Murdoch and Musk, then MAYBE…

My commissions are open! Full gallery, price lists, and query forms on my website www.kayworx.com/gallery

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

I know Bluesky has a ton of artists and creative people. Does anybody have interesting sticker collections for sale? My spouse is a wildlife educator who uses them as motivation and prizes for students of all ages, plus they're just fun to collect.

Let's see if I can tackle the rest of my ebooks today... I finished updating the formatting of 60/139 books yesterday, five out of my six pen names. Let's see if I can do the rest today. #BookSky #IndieAuthor #SelfPublishing This is not me venting, this is me excited, I love formatting 🤣

Hey so if you want James Bond without the fascist imperialism and with 100% more queer spies may I suggest

I'm running a fun sale over on @itch.io!! You can get two of my gamer girl novels for 20% off until the end of next week!

I'm running a 'Woot, I'm on #Itch' sale until the 24th. You can get my two #Neurodiverse #GamerGirl books (one #GameLit #SciFi and one #Romance) for 20% off. #BookSky #IndieAuthor #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #WeNeedDiverseBooks #Queer #LGBTQIA itch.io/s/186233/hel...

I PROMISE YOU people will (or already are) using rightful anti-AI sentiment to attack creators who do not use AI but also crossed paths with these petty, talentless fucks. Notably, the fuckos frequently target autistic, disabled, queer creators, especially of colour. Use your nous.

In every field of human endeavour there is a tiny cluster of fuckheads lurking, desperate to tear down anyone who crosses their path. It makes them feel powerful, idk. They'd rather destroy others than to go therapy. They use whatever everyone is angry about this week to hitch their bullying to.

Oh yeah, and the cherry on top is that AI *is* allowed.

I truly truly believe that the only way we'll ever have a platform that will protect sexual expression is if it's created and run by queer trans sex workers of color who never ever sell the business to anyone no matter how much money they're offered.
