I'd rather be a spicy bean than an anti-science fascist buffoon. #art

my wrist rest is a little fuzzy

This is a great time to escape into a book and ALSO an absolutely critical time to support the kind of books you want to keep seeing in the world by showing publishers they can still sell! Here are some of my favorite escape reads pubbed within the past year or so—what are yours? (More in thread!)

yupppp. it's a daily occurrence now 🙃

hey wait this game was supposed to be relaxing

$1.5 billion sounds like a lot of money, but keep in mind that Anthropic just raised $13 billion in its latest fundraising round and is valued at $183 billion

Join @hawkwing_lb as she reviews THE TWO LIES OF FAVEN SYTHE by @meganeokeefe.bsky.social, calling it “good plain fun, and I enjoyed it greatly.”

😔

I just backed Plot Twist Café on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bai...

Missouri friends, this inclusive bookstore and coffee shop in Maryville is in its final days of fundraising and has just under $4000 to reach its goal, I think it would be great to see this get funded! There are some cool queer books up for rewards as well as bookmarks, stickers, totes, and mugs!

"to get anywhere as an artist you need to make instagram reels" "you need to draw memes" "you need to go to conventions" wrong wrong wrong you just need to be insane

today!!! please come see us. there will be a normal amount of bees

One last timebecause I know I miss stuff on Bluesky all the time...If you're in/around Seattle, come meet @meganeokeefe.bsky.social & me at Third Place Books (Lake Forest Park) tomorrow! REALLY looking forward to geeking out about craft & stuff with Megan! www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/meliss...

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

I'm never one for singing my own praises, but how cool is this! My art is included the Worldcon souvenir program book alongside some true legends. So happy to be such in amazing company.

So I made my previous graphic while rushing out the door & talking to my daughter and forgot to add both the date and @meganeokeefe.bsky.social 😅 Here's an updated version, ALSO created while rushing out the door but with more information! Come join us!!! www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/meliss...

i hope this email doesn’t find you at all. i hope you got out. i hope you’re free

📖 I’ve been dodging showers 🌦️ with today’s #HammockTime, but squeaked in a few pages of “The Bound Worlds”. I did have to laugh out loud at the “Hello, World” line, @meganeokeefe.bsky.social 😆 Superbly well integrated there, I thought 🤓👨‍💻 📘 🔲🔲🔲🔳⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ 34% 🏁 🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋

🔖 And that’s a wrap on @meganeokeefe.bsky.social’s “The Devoured Worlds” trilogy 🤗 Written in 2020-2021, according to the 2023-written Acknowledgments section at the end, I myself started reading “The Blighted Stars” in May 2024. 🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋

flames. flames on the side of my face

quietly begging writers who set stories in real places to please hire beta readers who actually live there

I tore through 2.5 books of the Devoured Worlds trilogy by @meganeokeefe.bsky.social and needed to take a break to let my heart rest. High tension, high stakes, so many moving parts, Romeo and Juliet killing themselves over and over to save the other. Finally finished "The Bound Worlds" today.

📖 It’s taken me a wee while to get to it (simply because so many books!) but I’m finally completing @meganeokeefe.bsky.social’s “The Devoured Worlds” trilogy by starting on 📘 “The Bound Worlds” tonight. This book goes well with the sky 😊 🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #HammockTime 😎

me when i first moved in: awww, all the deer around here are so cute me after trying to garden: venison's back on the menu, boys

Sobbing into my salad with how adorable this is, can’t wait to read this on my plane ride back!! Ticking off got mentioned in a book dedication from a list I didn’t know I had!!

as a first time home owner i have a very important question. when/how do i acquire the 12ft skeleton?

but before you do: turn on your vpn. use an anonymous browser. don’t sign up for anything. no text messages, no newsletters, not the gosh darn event itself STFU Friday means on the internet, too

new books! 😁 @meganeokeefe.bsky.social @mlrio.bsky.social

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE. The Matrix is older than ICE. Legally Blonde is older than ICE. We're not talking about a venerable American institution. We're talking about post-9/11 Patriot Act overreach. Claw that power back. Destroy ICE.

#Booksky #Pride Day 7: If you like your space opera more sapphic, The Two Lies of Faven Sythe by @meganeokeefe.bsky.social (just released!) has you covered. Lesbian space pirates! Swashbuckling sci-fi action! Non-binary representation! And of course the myriad world-shaking twists O’Keefe does best.

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

There needs to be an app or something that lets me enter in author names, and then notifies me when they have new books out. I didn’t realize @meganeokeefe.bsky.social had a new book until I saw it here on Bluesky!

I blurbed this one because it's SO GOOD. Megan only writes absolute BANGERS Go get it now!

Started reading, got to the dedication, and nearly cried. Megan's a great writer and I highly recommend you check out her books.

Happy release day to @meganeokeefe.bsky.social ‘s Faven Scythe! ⚔️ Sapphic Space Pirates: nuff said. 🔮 Gorgeous and complex alien magic 🫚 Quippy, cocky, & ginger - I have a type, ok?! 🙏 The rogue and the pious one 🏴‍☠️ Please tell me you caught the sapphic space pirates bit!! #booksky 📚💙📚🌈📚🪐

42 of 2025 What a seriously delightful romp of a novel that takes a stellar premise and Sees It Through. Lots of folks would have trouble balancing pirates, space, and a side of romance, but @meganeokeefe.bsky.social does it with ease. 10/10 would heartily recommend, and it’s out today! #booksky 📚🌈

Today's the day! The Two Lies of Faven Sythe is out in the world! I hope you enjoy reading it. 🥰

This month's Patreon features a Hobbit house, an ominous plant, and a longer excerpt from my current work in progress! www.patreon.com/posts/may-up...

Every time Faven and Amandine talk to each other in this book I’m like #booksky #TheTwoLiesofFavenScythe @meganeokeefe.bsky.social

My preciouses have arrived!!!! My new favorite book series by @meganeokeefe.bsky.social The Devoured World series: The Blighted Stars, The Fractured Dark, and The Bound Worlds.
