i am really sick of the anti-sex attitude in fandom in general. "gooner art style", "this is for gooners", "the gooners will ruin this" PLEASE get off the internet and experience life, demonizing intimacy makes you sound sheltered at best and like a demented Baptist boomer at worst

Good morning ☕️

These scams are even impersonating authors, too! Remember: - agents & publishers should not ask for $ to read your ms - agents should not ask for $ to represent you (they get a cut IF they sell your book) - you NEVER pay the publisher to publish your book!! - authors are unlikely to solicit you

There's always going to be a day(s) where you get home from work and nothing interests you. You just sit in silence as your body deflates 🫠

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

Morning! If you're seeing a lot of pissed off #kidlit folks this morning, this is the context to the reason. (Pulled from FB) 1/

When you’re unable to write so you doodle instead 👌🏼 [ #willmarstudios #artsky #threadbare #ocsky ]

Publishing requires a lot of emotional labor. Absorbing other people's disappointment. Managing your own. I'm in a tired stretch and I think a lot of people I know are too.

Because it's May the 4th, I'm just gonna say it... The prequels aren't THAT bad. I actually really enjoy them!

May the 4th be with you 🌌

The online publishing space has been a lot lately. For everyone I think. Just sending love to the writers, agents, and editors who are showing up anyway. ❤️

I feel bad for my boyfriend He's sitting in the office working and he has to listen to me make whale noises because my dnd character was polymorphed into a sperm whale 😂🐳 [ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg ]

Yesterday was the end of my internship with CMA and not gonna lie, I teared up a little. It's one of those rare moments where you leave a job despite it being something you enjoyed. The workload is no joke, though I left with further reassurance (& knowledge) that this is what I want to be doing 💛

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

See this? QRT with your ghost art 👻💀 [ #willmarstudios #artsky #kidlitart #ghost ]
