Using the belief that creators are the "petite bourgeoisie" to justify pirating books/stealing art is EXACTLY what makes it so hard for anyone who isn't rich to pursue their creative dreams If you steal our art, you PERSONALLY are preventing us from building sustainable careers

My ball of wire turned out exactly how I wanted I promise this will one day have a purpose

You’re not lazy. You’re probably overwhelmed. Big difference.

Humans enjoy gossip. It's funny to me when some pretend they are above that. You aren't. One particular kind of gossip might not interest you but you do enjoy other kinds.

2651 words in a story I need for next week. from scratch first draft. about two and a half hours. a tale of a man with one eye and an eight legged horse. No desert. I can get this polished and ready, then I need to get onto the piece I need by end of year.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

In Prophecies, afterlives are poorly defined and described, so no one really knows what to expect; they may or may not have anything to do with which god you worshiped most. All Zedenko knows is that he needs to break his curse or he won't get one at all. #WritingPrompt #writingcommunity #writesky

A Native woman in Iowa was set to be released from jail when her family was told that she was being turned over to ICE. Her family said she couldn’t be deported bc she was Native. Her family, with the help of tribal leaders, finally got her released...

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

It brings me no joy to announce that Remy "Gambit" LeBeau lost his greatest battle today to a 2005 Toyota Corolla

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.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Socially conditioning people to not expect or want privacy The number of people who have full phone conversations on speaker in public already tells me that some have disregarded their own personal privacy, what difference would it make to have their text convos public too?

Honestly the should make it easier to boycott because who wants to LARP We Happy Few while trying to purchase a single overpriced home decor item.

Highkey Sam would probably be wishy washy until he meets Sugar then immediately slam the DELETE button, Sugar is possibly the most annoying man to have ever existed his life goal is to bother others.

Adding this to the list of things killing kids ability to be normal teenagers What even exists for kids and teens anymore?

The Oregonians interviewed a guy who Republicans have accused of running an “Antifa safe house.” The levels of MAGA derangement about Portland are truly off the charts.

I've been sharing snips of vamptaters w/ my wife as I've been drafting and she decided today to create an artistic rendition of one of the creatures I've described in the book. I hate him???? But also I love him. @kanarcia.bsky.social #writingcommunity

The irresistible urge to not do something you were planning to do because someone told you to do it.

Just saying If ur not going to include cover/front matter indication a book is a sequel then I expect it to serve as a standalone & yes I did just read the sequel of a duology & it did work as a very confusing standalone Reviews of the 1st book reveal that's not a problem of the sequel tho
