At critique group tonight my CP asked about the mythological inspiration for my fairy lover in The Cold Forge, and I did start citing early medieval poetry. I like to research!!!

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Don't cross a picket line.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

A not entirely unfounded theory of change is the subject gets so mad he has a heart attack

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

Hello new followers! I am a SFF writer but I also make candles inspired by books and TV I just added a bunch more candles, including some book boyfriend candles for the romance readers (and monsterfuckers) in your life www.etsy.com/shop/specula...

Some days it feels like feminism peaked in Legally Blonde (2001)

Bumble charges $16 a week to filter for people looking for a long term relationship. It’s so ridiculous it might actually be funny.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Vaccines didn’t make me autistic, my mom is anti vax and I still turned out like this.

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of @bendthearc.bsky.social, , their first ever in a mayoral election. “We are really very excited about Zohran and his platform not in spite of our commitment to Jewish values but because of them.”

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

queer artists drawing bellies, drawing broad shouldered women, happy trails, the curve of arm fat, wrinkles, scars, stubble, girl dick and t dick, cellulite. I see so many things that we're supposed to be ashamed of rendered lovingly, with intent, not just "all bodies are beautiful" but with desire

Now this? THIS is art.

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business

39) Track your wins. Make sure other people know about 'em. This is especially important if you're a traditionally overlooked demographic. Because if you fall for the fiction you should be modest and downplay your own accomplishments? Certain types will LEAP at the opportunity to help you w/that.

I recently read REST by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, which looks at different studies about work, rest, and productivity. The overall conclusion is that if you work in a creative field, the best thing you can do is work <4 hours a day and spend the rest of your time napping, exercising, and playing.

Tremendous.

Some of the Years Best Eco Fiction and Years Best Weird Fiction all in one place! You could spend over $50 to read these stories separately so why not spend $4.47 to read them together.

Has anyone made a business card to promote a newsletter? What did it look like? I can't make mine not look like a wall of text.

I’m working a novella about a werewolf who has a lot of internalized shame about her wolf. And then she kisses a plant witch so good it makes flowers bloom. I have all my metaphors figured out but hell if I know if it’s going to be actually fun to read.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

My book needs to get published ASAP so I can make jokes about Cornelius' slutty little glasses

Everyone who likes historical gossip, preorder this! Caroline was a mess of epic proportions

Here's a look at what I've been working on these past couple weeks!! Rainbow Raven, a collection of pride flag coloured formline stickers!! 🌈🪶 #formline #telekitneticart #pridemonth #indigenousart 🌈🪶

Unbound/Boundless who no longer have the rights to sell my book are still selling it for FUCKING $4 on Amazon. Talk about some shady fucking shit. Trying to burn through the inventory THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO SELL before they are forced to send me the remaining stock. Weasels.

I'm reading about 15th c Florentine sodomy laws and I'm having the time of my life. Top/Bottom discourse has a long, long tradition.

#transartists #transmusic I would like to put together a playlist of only trans musicians for my current project. Who is your favorite? My tastes lean more folk/mellow but I'll listen to anything once

Lander deserves a ton of respect for his willingness to subordinate his desires to blow up a genuinely evil man's campaign.

Cosigned, there are no excuses left, swing the fucking pendulum already cuz the people have fucking had enough

Due to the extreme heat I have to cancel my plans of cleaning my kitchen floor (and house) during my vacation. Instead, I will be FORCED to read romance books and eat a lot of cheese. It will be difficult sacrifice.

a quick comic to dispel the demon of having not made a comic

once you realize that fiction is a cosmic force that shapes reality, everything related to fandom seems like a dangerous heresy

Who the fuck cares what Baptists think, they don't make the laws. (I know about lobbying power and public pressure, don't explain it to me)

the southern baptist convention just had to sell their headquarters in downtown nashville to pay for all the sex abuse legal fees.
