I love AI 🫠🫠🫠🫠

A few weeks ago I had the surreal experience of doing my author headshots and the very talented photographer took a person who wears sweatpants and workout clothes 95% of the time and made them look like this 🙇

Working a pride event for the day job so I gotta show up 🏳️‍🌈

In the news today Jamir Nazir was called out for using ai to write his winning short story. He admitted to using ai for research but then justified with some bogus crap to explain... He likes ai. It's a sorry, sad state of affairs when real human writers lose to ai slop. #writingcommunity #booksky

Big week for satan. Lots of VIPs.

If chiitan liked my book that would be all the validation I ever needed

Is this how the library became a den of sex? Fox News investigates. A quote from my forthcoming queer cozy fantasy novel, arriving next spring from @shirakipress ! #booksky #fantasybooks

Being an adult means getting to make myself an ice cream cone after work every night

When we say “you can’t reform this,” this is what we mean.

My partners in crime!

That’s a lot of crimes… I’m proud of him. #booksky #fantasybooks

I’ve researched muskets and Tinglers in the same day for the same book what is my life #writing #writerlife

They make the AI scam calls cough now to seem human. I’m so tired.

Tea time is no laughing matter. A quote from my forthcoming queer cozy fantasy novel, arriving next spring from @shirakipress ! #booksky #fantasybooks

I unironically think KU taught readers to expect free books and writers to expect to earn pennies for their labor and that we cannot separate that system from what we’re seeing in the current piracy discourse.

One of the most exhausting things about the past several years has undoubtedly been the assumption that creative work is not real labor and therefore the people who produce it don’t deserve a living wage, or any wage at all.

It’s all in how you say it. A quote from my forthcoming queer cozy fantasy novel, arriving next spring from @shirakipress ! #booksky #fantasybooks

I wonder if they also steal Taylor swift’s music. Somehow I bet they don’t.

I read like 100 books a year. I earn minimum wage. I can’t afford 100 books a year, but I don’t steal a single one. I get them from the god damn library. On my phone. With a digital library card. I’m sorry but this is so easy.

I’ve got three hours to while away and the day job and I don’t really need to do anything but write this next chapter #amwriting #writerlife

I’ve owned every Sony console since PS1. I have a god damn VITA. I will switch instantly to any console that retains physical media.

My friends are incredibly supportive in a way that’s almost overwhelming when I try to think about it 💜

we're really doing the fireworks for two nights? one isn't bad enough?

When your boss is the devil dark lord and he says it’s tea time, it’s tea time. A quote from my forthcoming queer cozy fantasy novel, arriving next spring from @shirakipress ! #booksky #fantasybooks

I feel like one of the most frequent plot issues I see while reading casually is lack of character motivation. The plot leaves the set up/debate phase and I have no idea why characters are embarking on the quest. They’re just doing sequential actions for no apparent reason.

It's time to announce the semifinalists for the 2026 Small Spec Book Awards! Huge thanks to our readers, who worked diligently to assign ratings to all books. The competition was close. Authors, we hope you are proud of your stories because we are. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Beyond the stuff of nightmares.

Vibrating at a frequency only known by authors who’ve seen their covers and seen how beautiful and stunning those covers are and know they can do NOTHING with that information 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨 #booksky

I’m so proud of them 🥹 A quote from my forthcoming queer cozy fantasy novel, arriving next spring from Shiraki Press! #booksky #fantasybooks

Yeah getting your characters together is cool, but it’s actually even better when they’re already together and you get to write about them learning what a shower is together. #amwriting #booksky

I wore this shirt to a pride event last night and all the lesbians complimented me. Coolest I’ve ever felt.

My gaming hot take is that we need to bring back manual saves

Be the kind of person who supports your local library, theatre, bakery, bookstore, and café.

Every time Mamdani does something cool like freezing rent I somehow get even more disappointed in Katie Wilson

I am finishing this damn website today if it kills me

The day job is being so needlessly insufferable and ahh can I please just write silly fantasy novels for you instead?

This is fascism
