As the holiday shopping season has arrived & we're making wishlists, this is a reminder from your #spoonie aunt: ask for the weird things that will make your life easier. I mean, the random support items that you've questions "am I disabled enough to get this?" or "do I really need this?" Yes. 1/

the bricks are alive at this day to testify it; therefore deny it not.

before asking "how's that project going??" to any creative, just assume it's going like this

What's this? A change to my bio?? Why yes, yes, I am THRILLED to announce I am officially represented by @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social of Mad Woman Literary Agency! It's been a long road, but apparently I'm proof there is no one "right" path in publishing. Onward!!

It’s getting closer to holiday sales and shopping. Instead of spending money at a big box store or putting money in a billionaires pocket… shop small!! If you have a small business or are a small time creator (that means artists and indie authors too!) share your links/work below.

Hi, it's me again. I'm reposting this today because a whole lot of people who saw this yesterday told me they appreciated it. Know this: I believe in you. If you need permission to have some quiet space for yourself, here it is. <3

Dear world: Instead of, you know, sucking, could you please give my friends enough sales that they can quit their jobs and write or make art full time if they want to? Please. Love, Morgan

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy… 🙃 Honestly this is probably remarkably on brand for a Gemini lolsob

I've now heard from 3 authors targeted on X by a scammer impersonating Lois McMaster Bujold. Bujold impersonator refers author to "Eleanor Wood at Spectrum Literary", also an impersonation. Goal: to sell editing svcs. Scam is impersonating multiple authors & agents writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

Gas tank full. Snacks and Dr. Pepper acquired. GPS set. Audiobook cued. I’m off for a creative long weekend with my bestie! Words. Shall. Be. Written! Until I get there tho I’m enjoying THIS PRINCESS KILLS MONSTERS! Great Princess Bride vibes so far!

Today is the FINAL day to bid on any of these originals! Get your bids in by NOON EST. "Guide My Blade", 6x8 in., watercolor. A painting made for my howto book, Angelic Visions. She was a personal favorite from amongst the book's illustrations representing a fantastical guardian archangel.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Queerly beloved, I have a decade+ of experience in network systems administration and cybersecurity and will move anywhere it's safe for a trans woman to live. If you know of any openings, please pass 'em on

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Daily reminder to stay hydrated, take your meds, and don't cross picket lines.

That being said, when you're asked to do something, especially something that comes with a contract of any sort, please take the time to review that contract VERY CAREFULLY. Read it with the assumption that the people on the other end will be looking to sue you. It's the only way to be safe.

USAians, if you don’t already know about Too Good To Go, you should check it out. It’s a free app that works with local restaurants & bakeries to help them sell (at steep discounts) unsold food at the end of the day—and helps you find cheap good food apps.apple.com/us/app/too-g...

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want! The werewolf from the next row over and five trailers down had slipped his leash again, howling bloody murder and knocking over the neighbors’ trash cans. falstaffbooks.myshopify.com/products/13-...

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.

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.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Book friends: Graphic audio’s entire catalog is on sale for 50% off from now until November 30th. HIGHLY recommend them as an audiobook publisher. If you’ve never heard of them but enjoy audiobooks, please do yourself a favor and try them! 🪐📚💙 They are also on bluesky: @graphicaudio.bsky.social

That witchy feeling when I have a big meeting later that could eventually have a big impact on finances/career, and I keep waffling between wearing green jade or citrine and eventually just pile on both lolol

ATTENTION INDIE BOOK READERS The Indie Ink Awards are open for nominations! Authors can't nominate their own books, so it's up to you to make sure your faves get their shot. #booksky #indiebooks #IndieInkAwards

Who made this and why are you choosing nerd violence? ✍️ I mean, it is true, but still.

Migraines on a Saturday are just rude. I have F1 to watch, and a toddler to snuggle, and words to write. But instead I’m going to be hiding under the blankets hoping to be unconscious sooner rather than later. Brains are STUPID.

I have failed as a mother: my husbeast is drinking egg nog, and rather than turning up her nose, the toddler is calling it delicious and clinking her sippy cup with her dad’s jug and yelling ‘cheers mommy!’ So so sad lol She is SUCH a daddy’s girl ISTG

Mom protests will keep you alive because we don't want to go hyperglycemic and we're perimenopausal and if you fucks are going to deport kids and grandmas, we need salty and sweet to prevent us from doing a felony on you.

If you have a costco membership, PediaSure and diapers are on sale right now. Might be a good thing to grab and hand to your nearest food bank/etc if you want something quick & easy. 💓

The Steeping Room used to have a seasonal grilled pear, bacon, and Brie sandwich at their restaurant and I legitimately still have dreams about that sandwich. And I can’t seem to replicate it damn it!!

Absolutely the fuck not.

Hey y’all! Just a reminder: my queer trailer park urban fantasy featuring a disaster bi property manager and her supernatural tenants 13 COUNTY ROAD 666 is out from @falstaffbooks.bsky.social falstaffbooks.myshopify.com/products/13-...

Time to resurrect one of my favorite things Over Here: let me know about a book you either have out now or one that's up for folks to preorder, and I'll repost to boost it! 📚💜

Ahem *insert obligatory publishing 👀👀👀 vague post here* … @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social you saw nothing lol

When the Author also has Tarot Reader Problems: TFW I probably did one of my most positive readings EVER (seriously, Temperance, The World, AND The Sun all made an appearance), but my dragon deck is STILL rude as hell about it LOLOL. I swear this deck is the Tarot version of a smack upside the head.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

listen, if you're ever despairing about your art or whatever, just ask yourself "is anything i ever make going to be as stupid as a cybertruck?" ✨

That Texas gerrymander isn’t looking so smart anymore, now is it? Oops.

🚨 WNDB is committed to providing emergency grants to diverse authors & illustrators, publishing professionals, and educators experiencing dire financial need due to loss of SNAP benefits. We are now open for a new round of emergency grants, between $250 and $1,000 each. 💻 bit.ly/WNDB-emergency

Not me realizing if I marathon the manga series the husbeast got me I can in fact catch up to my StoryGraph reading goal for the year AND that I am fairly certain most are backlist titles so I can get away with using at least some of them for the @beatthebacklist.com challenge too lolol #amreading

This also applies to books and anything creative. People are struggling now, they're not thinking about buying books if they're worried about food, bills, and fucking ICE.

Welp I am officially without my husbeast or toddler until Wednesday. Time for all the words written and the Great Office Cleaning! … oh and a flu shot today. We’ll see how that affects the other two goals 😬 The life of an author is so glamorous am I right? Lolsob #writersky #authorsky #amwriting

Or, what I should have said: It is the very model of an internet phenomenon Through memes and riffs and sometimes gifs Pop culture, it goes on and on From ice-box plums to big big bums in order quite hysterical We understand the meaning even when the puns are terrible.

Then perish.
