Want someone to copyedit your entire novel for $102? Because that's what one of my @romancingthevote.com offerings is going for right now, with three hours to go in the auction! www.32auctions.com/organization...

😂

But when you post a lauded author's schedule and say hey this is how they wrote and you present it to everyone else, this feels jarring to me. You are presenting the master schedule to the novice or journeyman writer and saying this is how they wrote! Cool. What was their novice schedule?

ICONIC! An immigrant on a boat in the NY harbor passing in front of the Statue of Liberty, who welcomes all to her shores, on the 250th Fourth of July, the birthday of the nation. And he's the mayor. Some very poignant symbolism here.

Preorder Children Of Owl by @littlebadger.bsky.social 🌈💙

At least with my writing, I can make a better world. Even in the fucking dystopic worlds I put my characters through, they're still treated better than trans folks are. By a lot. And so it hits so fucking hard when writing shit goes wrong. Or i feel unheard. Or like my work doesn't matter.

I have a brother, who, on the 1st day my 1st book was out, went and ordered 10 copies. My mom, when I showed her my first book cover art with my name on it, got misty-eyed and had to take a moment. Those two things have carried me through a lot of hard times as a creative. #amwriting 📚🌈

Discover a colony world with magic, dreams, and a nonbinary protagonist, in Awry With Dandelions by J.S. Fields! #fantasy #sciencefiction www.spacewizardsciencefantasy.com/book/awry-wi...

Good book! And lovely photo shoot, too 😅

Last day to make your voice heard about police being given the green light to harass homeless people. Here is an excellent short video explaining what it's all about. Tell Parliament NO move on orders! Submit on the bill here: www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Moving and truthful! The bill hurts us all, rainbow or not. Now is the time to make your voice heard. Submit against the Definition of Man and Woman Bill. #NZpol

There is NO one biological definition of man and woman. This bill is pure folly. Please submit against it today! This is your last chance! Even just a few sentences or even one line is better than nothing. www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak... #NZpol

One of my favorite @tkingfisher.com books!!

Adding THIS to my TBR!

First step, Definition of Man and Woman Bill. Next step, legally enforcing arbitrary gender stereotypes. I'm not kidding. Women, if you enjoy short haircuts or playing sports or motorcycles or VOTING, please comment TODAY on this disastrous bill. Last chance!! #NZpol

read this novel NOW

"Too often, gender fluidity is thought of as a “new” or even “Western” phenomenon. However, the reality is that countless cultures around the world have traditions and histories beyond the gender binary." The collaborative article for our #Pride 🏳️‍🌈 Spotlight~ globalvoices.org/2026/07/01/b...

This is tonight! Get help writing your submission to Parliament to oppose the transphobic Definition of Man and Woman Bill. It can be short and sweet, I promise! #NZpol

Submit soon, it's your last chance! This bill will harm ALL women - cis, trans, young girls, too. Not to mention non-binary people, butch lesbians, gay twinks, and anyone cross-dressing for fun. It's ridiculous. Wear the clothes you want, get the haircut you desire, play the sport you like. #NZpol

Continued: papa.org.nz/2026/06/28/d...

Some inspiration for crafting your submission on the bill. But don't get hung up on the details! It's not your job to legally refute it. You can just write a paragraph explaining why you, personally, don't like it. The point is to join many different voices in opposition. 🩷🤍🩵

To keep in mind for the government proposal for a ban on under-16s accessing social media (which means age-verification for everyone). #nzpol

This is EXACTLY what's at stake. It is not hyperbole at all, it's what US kids' sport is grappling with RIGHT NOW. Please everyone make a submission today and oppose this incredibly harmful "Definition of Man and Woman Bill." www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

This is genuinely the Backrooms remembering the Arc de Triomphe.

Spotted in Courtenay Place! Whoever put these up 🥰🥰🥰 amazing work. Today is a great day to make your voice heard about "move on orders" which basically authorize police to harass homeless people for just existing. #NZpol www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Get your submission in!! I did mine today. Don't let these transphobic a-holes tell you what clothes you're allowed to wear or what bathroom you should be using. Absolute bullshit.

NINE HOURS LEFT! Get your queer SFF books here!! 📚🌈

NO Move On Orders i used this info in my submission. cheers Tamatha Paul @greens.org.nz #nzpol

Listening to this rich guy talk is just so validating.

Ditto. This is a sensible, middle-of-the-road policy in regards to AI generated music. Basically: okay, you can upload it, but it will be marked that way, and you can't profit from it. We'll see if that works out, and I hope it does. Glad to be on Tidal.

Less than one day left!

An AMAZING list of works! Would make a really good reading list for the year. I own two of these, and have had two others recommended to me, but I have read none?? Time to remedy that!

Cookiecutter shark!!! They're weird.

This is a hand-knit wool sweater!! 🤯

Too late for that, but try to get them in early, don't leave them to the last minute. Wish I'd done mine sooner 😬 but I will have a go now! #NZpol

I'm missing the Chesapeake Bay, which is making this seem just so lovely. 🥰

Last chance to back this campaign of queer SFF!! Consider choosing the anthology Lesbians In Space, an enjoyable collection of varied stories. Bite-sized enjoyment. 😋 Nominated for a BFA! Audiobook by the amazing Mary Robinette Kowal!! @maryrobinettekowal.com #lesfic 📚🌈 @wctracy.bsky.social

Now I want to read this!

Here is the full post laying out not just what students said (they had a lot to say!) but also why it felt much different this time around—and what I think is important to take away from these conversations: thebrokencopier.substack.com/p/i-asked-my...

people are always amused/confused about how romance authors & readers keep doing things like organizing 1.5 million whistles or raising $1 million... but we read & write books where when everything is bleak, you pull together with your people & hope your way to victory. we rewired our brains.

The way she's just like "oh well" 😨 and lets us all see how irresponsible and uncaring she is. Unbelievable.

@littlebadger.bsky.social just keeps getting better! I can't wait to read this new book!!

This storm just keeps going!! Wind and rain and sleet and the house is SO COLD. I cannot wait to replace the cladding and add insulation. Here is our cat Twyla curled up on my feet trying to stay warm while I work.

This is one of the books you can get through the Backerkit campaign! Looks amazing, really 😍. Sign up to get queer space and/or sorcery stories from this cool publisher! There are lots of other cool books to choose from, too, and if you back the campaign you get to pick your favorites! 🌈📚

A photo from one of the walks that inspired Everything Will Swallow You. Only one week now until the book comes out in paperback. I've posted an extract on my website today, as a taster: www.tom-cox.com/one-week/ If you pre-order from @blackwells.bsky.social you get a signed one & free delivery.

I don't wanna complain about Wellington houses being cold but honestly considering leaving my fridge open to warm up the kitchen a little. 🥶 #Pōneke

@montereybayaquarium.org amazing idea to host something cool like this for Pride!

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.
