In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Remember we would always see the “Patriot Front” jumping out of Uhauls, marching through towns? That stopped when ICE got started, I just can’t figure that out

Whoo hoo, I've had another short story accepted today! I'll scream more about it when it's closer to time, but thought I'd share. 🫶

Yes! My dark fantasy tale of processing grief whilst falling in love with an aspen colony of the front range came out this month in @bdglit.bsky.social ! #WeeknightWriters

Being close to finishing a new short story that incorporates my love of justice, Karst topography, weird exoplanets, and my more recent familiarity with winemaking. My family, dogs and the notorious Archimedes! Also polishing up a piece, realizing I like it and sending it to @ottersediting.com !

Q3: Let's cheer things up a bit! What has brought you joy in the past week? Remember, no joy is too small! #WeeknightWriters

Live in BCS #448: "The Stone’s Choice" by Anaea Lay. "The stone in Tadlomi’s hand remembers being the mountain, and the mountain knows when its witch is sad. Tadlomi puts it down, the sudden sting of its disappointment more than they can endure" www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/the-...

As an editor, I support the emotional weight of the story and characters. But I also support you as the author. There are highs and lows in the editing and publishing process. I'm here for you during that journey. I care about you & your writing as an empathetic editor. #editing #editor

Sometimes I decide a story I wrote is garbage and then I’m forced to go look at it again months later and realize, ya know, it’s actually pretty good?

Just sharing that this wondeful story on @diabolicalplots.com reminded me of reason I write and read stories about grief, and how much that is needed in the midst of processing our own. www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-4...

We are going to win.

I use Obsidian note for organization and random notes or sprints, and Scrivener for the rest. I’ve also been using Plottr a little bit for outlining.

BREAKING: Indivisible and a broad coalition of groups across the country are calling for a coordinated ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action this Saturday and Sunday to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.

Please help out if you can.

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

Do it

Minneapolis.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

Reassert our claim on science fiction as the genre of humanism by burying subtlety and recasting it as the literature of protest.

My first editing blog feature! The LGBTQIA+ Editors Association put out a blog for sensitivity and authenticity reading month and I'm in it! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Check it out here: lgbtqeditors.org/blog/f/authe... Follow @lgbtqeditors.bsky.social #editing #editors

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

The Waterfall Nebula apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25123... What created the Waterfall Nebula? The origin is still being researched. The structure, officially designated Herbig-Haro 222, appears in the region of NGC 1999 in the Great Orion Molecular Cloud complex

The winter issue of Belladonna's Garden Literary Magazine was published today. My short story, "Siren's Song," is included in it. @bdglit.bsky.social #SciFi-Fantasy-SpecFic 🪐📚 #SFF #SFFWriting/Writers 🔱 #writingcommunity #cozyfantasy www.belladonnasgardenlit.com/winter-2026-...

"If Trees Could Scream" has found a home with the lovely @bdglit.bsky.social! This one is a little eerie and a little enchanted (and yes...there are trees!) 🌳🍂💚🪡

My first published short story is out today in Belladonna's Garden! (@bdglit.bsky.social) "A Song for Boughs Afire" is a wintery tale of a grieving widow, a sentient aspen clone colony, and a timberman who has trouble respecting boundaries. www.belladonnasgardenlit.com/winter-2026-...

I've got the day off work, so time to bring back an old favourite, this time using lessons learned from all the great stuff we published in 2025. Let's do this.

Happy Holidays! Remember to gently beat your Archimedes kitty with the empty gift wrap tube, or he’ll yowl, steal eggnog from Santa’s mug, pre-open gifts, and bring a (mostly) dead mouse to the seven year old. (Just kidding, he still did all that and then body slammed the dog.) 🥴

Fam heads up on a call for submissions: please share with a Black Horror writer who you know would eat this up. Look at that dream editing duo: @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and @chesyaburke.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥 Deadline January 14th, 2026...! blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

TOMORROW IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. It is time for the women (defined broadly) to hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart with their bare hands!

In 2025 we've completed three fabulous fantasy series! 👑 QUEENS OF FATE by @natania.bsky.social 🐉 THE CROWNS OF ISHIA by @karinlow.bsky.social 💀 THE CEMETERIES OF AMALO by Katherine Addison @pennyvixen.bsky.social ...and the holiday break would be the perfect time to devour the full set!

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Crying into my latte in public as I finish reading this wonderful story:

It's always a great fuckin day to read my FREE short story about a plague that kills billionaires ✨️ #NessPromo

Boost!

My story "Vanya and the Dog Witch" is now free-to-read at www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/vany.... Please check it out! I am highly biased, but I think it's pretty good. (Note: please support BCS by pledging to their Patreon or buying e-books. I want them healthy to buy more stories!)

Check out this awesome Defensive Baking art!

I’m not really sure how to do social media in a way that doesn’t feel disingenuous, but I know that everyone needs to see Sonny watching his stories.

Since before the dark times, I've maintained this handy list of space opera novels by cisgender women, trans, and non-binary authors. If that sounds like something you need in your life, check out the spreadsheet. Suggestions always welcome via the form! #books tiny.cc/spaceoperali...

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Just over 40 hours left to share and support the Plot Twist Cafe Kickstarter! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped spread the word, donated, and been a generally enthusiastic presence. We’ve gotten this far through the power of community 💙📚 campsite.bio/plottwistcafe

69 hours left! Don't let this nice opportunity to support a queer, inclusive bookstore go to waster. And, if you have a cool 9 grand to drop, you can force me to release a book this year that I'm just starting to edit. BUT I'LL DO IT. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bai...
