I hope y’all will watch this fantastic panel discussion that @veronicaghenry.bsky.social and I worked hard to put together! #booksky #libraries #AI

Excited for this FREE @wehere.bsky.social panel event, organized by @bookish-afrolatina.bsky.social & moderated by @veronicaghenry.bsky.social. All are welcome! Come through. 🙌🏾 luma.com/ud0psx3b

ProPublica has marketed themselves as the good guys doing trustworthy news. I even gave them the money I used to give WaPo before they flipped the breakers on democracy. Make their actions align with their words. don't cross the picket line and demand they deliver what their advertising promises.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

that being said, [long, piercing shriek]

Jfc.

The question I want answered by every member of the Senate and the House is "what did you do in the last 8 hours?" That's it. I don't need spin, I sure as hell don't need a story. I just want a list. What the fuck did you do today?

dave ring took me behind the scenes of Neon Hemlock in his roles as publisher and managing editor! bsky.app/profile/ther...

From 18k words to 140k! 🥹

And do not tell me Republicans did this all. Even if it were true that only Republicans committed war crimes, the people who twiddled their thumbs and were like, "ah, well, boys will be boys, let's move forward" do in fact bear some measure of blame.

It's super American to downplay this shit and make it about us instead of the Iranian people who are on the receiving end of these threats

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

Sort of. Surviving under a constant state of terror shortens your life.

Feeling poopy about your draft? Go back and read one of your published / polished pieces. Might just remind you that YOU GOT THIS SHIT. 🥹

Oh hey that’s me! There’s also a zoom chat and a story crit available. ALSO there are SO. MANY. COOL. PEOPLE. offering rewards for this campaign.

i’m…

I just backed Anathema: Spec from the Margins! And you should too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ana...

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

Not the way in which one wants to be visible on tdov, but please if you can help!

Well I just got the OK so I am doing MY OWN DANG COVER REVEAL WICKHILLS has a cover now! Illustrated by Tom Roberts and designed by Russell Trakhtenberg! Which I copied and pasted so I would not make a typo! Anyway, BEHOLD! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Just sitting here thinking about how Black ppl came up with jazz, the blues, rock and roll and hip hop WHILE this country was doing everything it could to ensure we had nothing. Nobody needs Al to create except the untalented.

“Where are all the campus protesters?” Fucking El Salvador, probably, because of people like you

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Go to a No Kings rally this Saturday! You will feel energized and every body counts to reach a record number of demonstrators

"but i grew up with harry potter! i can't NOT watch it" hey thats really pathetic 👍

Hey all. Piper Drake, a friend and a fellow romance author, needs some help funding her cancer treatment. It's been a long, tough road, but she's got one more story in her and we'd like to buy her a little more time to get it out. www.gofundme.com/f/help-autho...

"On the first full moon of autumn, she sneaks me out of the villa and we dance naked under the brilliant silver orb until we fall into each other, a tangle of arms and hair." 🥀🌕 New fiction today by @apthayer.bsky.social: "Un Lamento de Flores" Read it here: www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

I hate the way the term ‘Stay Woke’ — which was originally meant as a warning between socially conscious Black folks saying that if you don’t keep your eyes open They’re going to get you — was co-opted by yt liberals as a phrase that forgives inaction as long as you have awareness. Action. Is. Key.

I caved and bought Fields of Mystra. (Despite my self imposed ban on buying early access games.) …I am pleased. 🌚

Palate cleanser bc BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN was brutally (and beautifully) moving. The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches has been on the TBR for a minute! My partner loved it, so I’m excited to dive in. ✨

if ICE is actually going to be out there thugging people at airports SF conventions and stuff better start prepping the whole virtual attendance thing again because there's whole swathes of panelists who aren't going to want to do flights for a bit

This was announced today so I guess I can show it now. :> My Pride Variant cover for Emperor Aquaman #18

😍 Can't wait to wander into bookstores and see this on the shelves!! Plus request it at my local library (which everyone should do -- it's free!!).

Beyold. Elf Knights fight for tournament amusement.

Folks, we are live! Thank you for your patience this year. The team has been working so hard to get this going despite major roadblocks. To see all of the amazing things our community has produced, visit the link in our bio or go to locusmag.com/igg26 youtu.be/ODl5yiDlA_0

no, you can't. the team has explicitly and intentionally made the WBC political. their entire aesthetic is militarism. they had the seal team six guy give their pre-game speech. supporting Team USA is a political choice atp and it isn't a flattering one for the person making it.

the fact that ONLY six black actors have won this category is unbelievable. 1964 → 2002 → 2005 → 2007 → 2022 → 2026

*opera and ballet devotees look directly at camera*

Javier Bardem at the Oscars: No to war, and free Palestine.

Hollered. Out loud. 😭

The weird vibe you’re getting from him is someone trying and failing to style himself with black swagger but he both doesn’t have it and is behind the times Hope that helps!
