It's October!! It's my pub month!!!! Kill the Beast comes out in 2 WEEKS!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! 🎉🙌🏻💖

Even beautiful nobles who should never have to exert themselves must sometimes go to the Witch's Wood and consult the bones. Such is the case in chapters 6 and 7 of @serratheswift.bsky.social's Kill the Beast! reactormag.com/excerpts-kil...

I continue to forget that this app exists, BUT I will try to be better about using it 😅

For thirteen years, Lyssa Cadogan has been hunting faeries and the abominations they created… We are thrilled to present an extended preview of @serratheswift.bsky.social's epic fantasy Kill The Beast, starting today and running every Monday through October 6th! reactormag.com/excerpts-kil...

Welcome to chapters 4 and 5 of @serratheswift.bsky.social's epic fantasy Kill the Beast, in which hardcore sword-wielding Lyssa meets...aristocratic, pathetic, awfully-dressed Alderic Casimir de Laurent. It would be a shame if he were to join her. reactormag.com/excerpts-kil...

Update: the new coworker has been moved to a different part of the office. My skulls get to stay 😌🙏🏻

I have been informed that my brand new coworker is uncomfortable with the crystal skull collection at my desk. Excuse me while I go purchase another crystal skull.

Every time I use the title (Kill the Beast) in the narrative. Y'all would be DEAD dead 😆

Me when my boss tells me I can't just spend all day feeding the birds outside

Hey Bluesky, is there an indie bookshop out there willing to ship a book to Brazil, please? Speaking for a very big fan who wants a copy of CHOCOLAT in English. If you can help, I'll put you in touch...

My book Kill the Beast is available for preorder (link in bio!) and is a fun fantasy adventure about a Witcher-style faerie hunter & a useless but fashionable nobleman working together to kill a monster 💖

This makes me happy because there are a ton of woodpeckers in the trees around my office and I see them constantly!! 🥰

The king (my son) waits patiently for the peasant (my husband) to hand over the appropriate tithe (a bite of ice cream)

🧵 1/ Dr. Peter Hotez isn’t just a scientist—he’s a humanitarian. His work has saved countless lives by developing low-cost, patent-free vaccines for diseases that disproportionately impact the world’s poorest communities. Let’s dive into his incredible contributions. ⬇️

Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here? Promoting the book you wrote so people know it exists is supposed to be the end result of that. You’re fine. Just promote your book.

Kill the Beast officially has a blurb!!!!! A huge huge thank you to Sarah Beth Durst for reading my book and saying such nice things about it 🙏🏻💖

YESSSSSSSSS GO LA!!!!!!!

I'm a little more concerned about the labor camp(s), mass deportations, our trans citizens being targeted, our allies being punished, an unelected psychopath having access to basically everything the president does...you know. Fall of democracy shit. Tomatoes are pretty far down the list right now.

America better shape the fuck up before October 😤

A very satisfying way to spend $50

Current musical obsession. I cannot stop playing this album.

Things feel overwhelmingly terrible in this country right now, but I'm trying to hold onto the small things that bring me joy. Like being absolutely SURROUNDED by crows on my walk today, all of them screaming at me for more peanuts. I've been calling it the Crownado.

Californians, it's really easy to find your representatives: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov I contacted mine today, and I hope you'll follow suit 🙏🏻❤️

I want to remind people that indigenous people were here first. The land was either stolen, or negotiated by treaty. The US Government in this very day and age are still violating treaties that were meant to stand FOREVER or at least until we all die out. Which my presence confirms we ARE STILL HERE

We’re all angry and worried and maybe some don’t feel like creating or no longer feel like it matters, but keep writing, painting, dancing, making music, making art. Not doing the things that bring you joy—not making art—doesn’t help. Do what you love harder than ever.

Want to help LA fire victims? From now until 2/5, Booklovers for LA is auctioning off books & more for these great organizations! I have signed copies of my books in the Witches & Werewolves bundle & there are many more really cool items to bid on. www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket... 💙📚 🌈📚 #Romancelandia

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

It's official, the fancy-ass eggs that used to be my "luxury purchase" are now cheaper than the bleached-white store brand eggs. Also I literally took this photo so that if they scanned at a different price at the register I could argue 😆

If anyone knows any grassroots trans support organizations that take donations, could you DM me? I’m gonna add my Pride colorways back to my ready to ship yarn in my shop and I wanna donate a percentage of all Trans Pride sales to somewhere that will do good for trans individuals.

pick up an analog hobby, I'm so serious. something that holds your attention and is fun for you, literally anything. Collect and identify bread tags or something, just don't fall into the trap of doomscroll paralysis again

Not to mention every other agency that was affected. Jamie Raskin said that it ABSOLUTELY DOES MATTER how many people call that switchboard. The Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121.

only YOU 🫵 can help break the monopoly that amazon has on the e-book industry! thrilled for this next step from bookshop.

I donated and put Trump's name 😌💅🏻

the aesthetic of maga goofs is so dang weird. they see themselves as anti-establishment 'dont tread on me' folks but now theyre all 'THE MAINSTREAM GOVERNMENT IS SO COOL I LOVE AUTHORITY' so weird seeing these people who liked to pretend they were rebels making big government their whole personality

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

ATTN: Meals on Wheels is federally funded. Please donate, or better yet, check on your neighbors to see if they need food! www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/learn-more/n...

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

it’s bad enough that netflix is the vile behemoth that it is, but the fact that we could have had a Redwall film adaptation (written by the creator of Over the Garden Wall!), only for it to be stuck in LIMBO because of corporate bullshit??? criminal 😭

If you see this, post a witch (It's me, I'm the witch)

sorry for getting ✨️political✨️ on the good vibes and video games app again, but the human brain is not designed to withstand another 207 weeks of this shit so pace yourself and try to channel that anger, despair, and hopelessness into something productive. make some kick ass art, we will need it

I'm posting a lot about alt text because I know a lot of folks are new to bluesky and aren't used to using it, but it's something early bluesky users made an effort to establish as the norm here. Please do your best to use alt text! It helps so many and also helps your posts get to more people! 🫶

Lyssa has a bullmastiff named Brandy who is trained to hunt faeries with her. He is a good boy.

I do think it’s super important right now and in the foreseeable future to really value moments of joy and to be intentional about making as many of them as you can

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I asked about the state of America in 2029

Looks like our national parks will be needing volunteers. Assuming they're even allowed to do that. This is not good people Let's pick up those phones and rage into the machine. 202 224 3121

FYI: ICE is posting up at Home Depots here in LA county and arresting work crews coming in to get supplies. If you know someone who needs to know this, pass it on.
