Microraptor repost time!

You'd think I would have a tolerance for watching queer creatives get devoured alive for not making their creations queer in the specific ways that some aggro queer folks online demand it must be after seeing it happen dozens of times And YET

throwing queer erotica authors under the bus when queer sex has been stigmatized for decades and continues to be stigmatized as another queer author is loser shit and you should stop doing that. "but payment processors-" are a problem i agree, blame them instead of your peers making legal material!

I'm gonna post this year in the hopes it might find the right people. I'm writing a novella with an Autistic trans woman and an auADHD trans man who are both about 40, and I have some questions about growing up Autistic in South Africa if you're around that age

With ADHD, instead of building routines, everything stays a conscious effort for me.

We live in a fantastic time where the route to publish or release your works has never been easier. Spend your time in places like Itch, browsing through here on bluesky (the amount of indie writers here is beautiful). Support them how you can, buy the books, boost them, ect.

If you live long enough, you become disabled. That is the nature of aging.

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time. Everyone believes they will be the exception. That it won’t happen to them, or when it does they will “try harder” than us The truth is most people will become disabled. Health is both fragile & temporary. Engage in disability justice

Hi, can I interest you in some fantasy written by a nonbinary author? With trans and intersex characters? Not based on a franchise by a transphobic author! Dragonfall, Emberclaw, and my rewritten debut, Pantomime, are out now, and I could very much use some help getting the word out about them. 💖

some of the best creative advice i've received was to always seek inspiration beyond what's in front of u, outside of the creative space you're in

Feeling very called out, but also true. 🤣 I also still have some of the (moving) avatars I used back in the very early '00, some of which I created myself in Photoshop to show my love for one fandom or another.

If you're over the age of 30, your first internet friends were outside walled gardens, they didn't really exist yet. You found them, and then found them in half a dozen different places none of which were the really *important* thing. The important thing was they were there.

Wait, if I buy #Gunpla to put on my #BookEvent table, does that mean it's a business expense? 🤣🤣 It's a spicy romance book event and I haven't written any robot romance, buuuuttt... 🤣🤣 On an unrelated note, MGSD Barbatos and Wing are very cute! 🥰

Dear British people, what are the stereotypes (good or bad) of places in the UK? Are there some regions where you say all the posh people live? Someplace you stay away from because all the serial killers live there? Someplace fairies live? Tell me your lore (the more false and fanciful, the better)

The cruelty is the point.

youtu.be/-n6VvpcdiC4?... I just realised I had not pinned our new video - an essay about the very concept of Irishness and historical identity.

at what step in the never ending demographic debate do we just get to put male targeted works aside and actually gush about/hype up shoujosei, because it seems like we'll never get to that if we continually frame every discussion about shoujo with shonen or seinen at the crux

Finally finished building base Exia in every grade

So many people reading today hide behind 'couldn't relate' & 'boring' as an excuse to avoid reading deeply. Authors are not just cooks making your fantasies to order. Engaging with a book will not always be a comfortable experience. A book isn't automatically bad bc you didn't 'get it' first time.

When writing about autism for scholarly publications, it's a constant source of annoyance that so much autism research is just offensive in the way it frames things. Like, I want to cite these researchers, but maybe not quite as much as I want them to fuck off. Mostly I can work around it, but 😖.

This is what I try to explain to people "they produce information that looks good enough to fool you at a glance". It doesn't give you accurate information based on sources, it gives you what it thinks you want to hear in a way that you're likely to believe. It tries to please you, not be true.

While I'm ranting, I'm mad that a work will often be immediately discounted as ONLY smut the second it shows anything erotic. Is there no depth allowed? Is there no such thing as horny and sad? Horny and frightening? Horny and nostalgic? Come on

As a birthday gift to myself this year (which I came up with it that evening, not before), I wanted to try #Gunpla. The plan was to get MG Barbatos, but that was sold out everywhere I could get it semi-locally, so I'd planned to wait for restock. Today I bought GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam. Whoops.

Good morning, everyone! Did you know that I've got a queer urban fantasy series heavily steeped in Welsh and British folklore and mythology? Book 11 was released yesterday, and book 1 is only 99p if you need a new obsession / binge read! shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/swo...

They're making the sunsets transgender!

#booksky hive mind, tell me your favorite indie vampire books 🫵🏻 (Self-recs welcome) (Romance is fine as long as it's queer) 📚💙

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide. From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXRm...

Wow, Jesus Christ, I log on for five seconds and see three separate posts calling Charlie Kirk a whore like that's supposed to be an insult? Get your sex worker hate out of here. Learn some fucking solidarity.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life, while not being believed when I tell people how much I try.

Started my 'what I've been up to so far this year' blog post, already over 3k words in and I've got lots and lots left to go. That's what I get for not writing weekly blog posts for over 9 months 🤣🤣 #BookSky #AuthorLife #Blogging #Writing

I really like the way Kpop Demon Hunters represents fandom, both the good and bad. (Your Idol, anyone?) So that's why I wrote a short read about the songs, Rumi's burn-out and more. Enjoy! #kpopdemonhunters nicollelamerichs.com/2025/09/15/r...

Me: Okay, I think it's time. Sword of Avalon should be a comedy interlude. Brain: Horniest book ever written. Got it, boss. Me: Wait, what? Brain: What?

Does anyone know any good GL/Yuri/Sapphic series on #Viki? I don't care from which country. They have a BL section, but I haven't found a way to find their GL stuff yet. I thought I'd bookmarked one, but apparently not 😭

#ABODesire #DesireTheSeries ep 12, here I come! We're on the last 5 eps apparently 😱

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

Helen is awesome and so are her books! ❤❤

Meet Bock’s pygmy octopus! Growing ~0.98 in (2.5 cm) long, excluding tentacles, this species can be found near coral reefs in parts of the Central Pacific. It uses camouflage to avoid predators & can release a cloud of ink to distract foes. Photo: smithsonian_marinegeo, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, iNaturalist

It's bisexual visibility month so let me break stealth for a moment to tell you about this pair of disaster bisexuals and their horrible trauma 😘😁

Talked to 23 people who suddenly have to pay huge tariffs or otherwise cannot get chainmail from Pakistan, yarn from France, retro computers from Japan, metal music from the Netherlands, DVDs from Germany, cosplay supplies, sunscreen, etc. www.404media.co/its-just-a-m...

i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.
