A new story is coming out next week!

Just got hit with a huge medical bill ($600ish). I got all my released books 50% off on Itch in a bundle if you want to help out. (If you already have any of the books in the bundle, feel free to give a copy to a friend you think will enjoy it!) itch.io/s/185422/pay...

No, YOU are projecting on the genderless almost robot who is breaking free of capitalism in the messiest way it knows! Me? I’m chilling!

redrew my old fuckass #murderbot pixel art from a year ago LMFAOO this fucking construct has a death grip on me its unreal #PixelArt #PixelArtist #aseprite #TheMurderbotDiaries #art #ArtPH

If you think about it, anything can be the beginning of a beautiful fanfic.

Oh yeah I read all of the murderbot diaries and its changed me on a fundamental level.

I love theatre I missed theatre I say as I check my email for the tenth time in an hour (This is a joke I’m a short story author I already check my email that much) (I’m SO happy I’m back in the theatre~)

Metric Evanescence Indigo girls Marina (of Diamond fame) I think cabaret should count maybe (I’m sure I’ve been to more but I am actively dancing at a concert rn so)

Sure would hate to meet other grateful dead butches…. That would be terrible…. 👀👀👀👀

he claimed that he had a permit to hold his world's specialest little fascist birthday boy party in the rotunda of the building but didn't bother to actually get one and seemed unaware that city hall is always closed on saturdays.

Watching folks give publishing advice on Facebook is always so interesting. Some of it is very relevant! Some of it feels like it’s coming from someone who has never been in a bookstore?

Sometimes the biggest win of the day is just breathing through it.

Sitzprobe time for cabaret!!!!

Hey Vancouver and area locals — wanna see some damn good theatre in a few weeks? Come see Cabaret. This is a new theatre company, doing a show filled with such passion and frank relevance. (Not local? Share this so locals can find it!)

Hey, know who is a cool small business? @meerkatpress.bsky.social Meerkat bought a short story of mine in 2017 — my first ever sale. Since then, they’ve supported my every win. They expressed interest in a novella from me, and 5(?) YEARS LATER, i sent them twice spent comet. They loved it. 💫

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve been to — Grateful Dead Billy Talent Rise Against Metric Indigo Girls

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

I work at a warehouse bookstore combo that is just for librarians and teachers. If we see a few teachers order a book, we bring it in. I’ve seen books go from new release to reading circle standard. Because a few people ordered it so it ended up on our shelves, and a district worker saw it.

Gonna be real vulnerable for a sec but like. My novella is a year old next week. And the fact that some of my closest people haven’t read it yet occasionally just guts me. I understand. I don’t want anyone to feel forced to read my stuff, friend or no. But fuck, it makes me sad.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Karlach x Hellboy

Imagine being on a panel about oral storytelling and making a comment afterwards about it getting a bit ‘off topic’ with the ‘political talk’. To the trans disabled co panelist. Bro what

Lost my godfather this week. Feeling adrift. Hadn’t seen him in way too long and now we’re here. I miss him. I missed him before and I miss him even more now.

I’ve come out of stage managing retirement to work on a production of cabaret and I missed a lot of theatre stuff… and honestly, sending out emails is one of them. I wish author emails and submissions were as easy as stage managing ones.

Announcing our Best of the Net nominees! Congratulations to @paulvermeersch.bsky.social @marysoonlee.bsky.social @salempaige.bsky.social @ianli.bsky.social @ziggyschutz.bsky.social @clarissagrunwald.bsky.social

This thread is related to ICE in the USA, but I think this also needs to apply to the 'MapleMAGA' in Canada. Traitors, all of them. And we need to freeze them out, or we'll be facing our own ethnic cleansing squads here 😕

Like this place isn’t really anywhere at all, but instead between two real places. Mirrors like in-betweens, after all. from "Through Glass" by Ziggy Schutz www.lunastationquart... #ShortStories #WomenWriters #Fantasy #SciFi #Reading #Writing

The best way to describe how I’m doing right now is that when my dad called me to tell me of a family member passing, he referenced how these calls will be a bit of a trend for a while. (Just real bad health news x 4 this month)

Was saving up for more than a year for my teeth to be fixed and get implants but I lost nearly all my savings because I had a cancer scare (ti-rads 4 nodules) and needed surgery to get it removed and now am in constant pain again and cant even close my mouth properly 💯 please buy my art. Please!

Fantastic thread.

Every once in a while I get the itch to put the stuff I know about a certain someone with 50 alternate accounts into a doc or something. There’s stuff that I witnessed that hasn’t really come up in the conversations about them? None of it surprising, but potentially important elements.

I thought it was just quiet over here… nope! Forgot to sign in with my new phone. Oops!

Edmonton SD book ban when I get you book ban—

Ill upon JK Rowling?

Do I not even have a pinned post of my work. What am I doing (Aside from making some very good comic edits)

I went to try to make some funny promo thing and this wouldn’t leave my head so

Mo Salah is asking the right questions

Might fuck around and write a novella by the end of the month (a dream market is open for novellas and I just found out)

I turn thirty two on Friday! Feels big, although still not the magic coming of age for hobbits number (33). Wanna get something for a queer, disabled creator on her birthday? Buy my trans fairytale, my space mermaid novella debut, Twice-Spent Comet! Or ask your local library to bring it in~

I know there’s so much shit going on in the world right now. But please don’t just say that the NYC shooting was just another CEO. It looks like the man was suffering from CTE. This is not me excusing his actions, but the NFL has spent so much money to bury CTE research and it is killing people.

Alberta is trying to ban certain ‘inappropriate’ books from school libraries. (Big shocker — it’s queer books with sexual content) More info here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I just got a random message through my website’s contact form from someone who liked a story and now an entirely mediocre day is a day I’m going to be thinking about for months 😭😭😭 If you’ve ever thought about sending a writer a note about a story… you absolutely should do that. Please do that.

Know all those sci fi films or whatever where there’s a computer virus that could destroy the world or the internet or something? How do we make those real and feed them to AIs It’s time and past for them to eat their own tails please.

It’s nearing the end of #mermay and what better way to celebrate than to take in some space mermaid sights? twice spent comet is a trans fairy tale, a found family novella set on an asteroid turned prison camp. It helped me find my wonder with words again. Maybe it could do the same for y’all.

If folks look into their own queer history, they will find themselves again and again, and also understand our complicated, beautiful and varied past. We cannot let each other’s journeys to find words that fit right divide us. We should celebrate it all, even the bits that might confuse us.

porn > nazis should be considered a basic value of any civilized society

sometimes it's better to be kind than it is to be right

I come into your discord server. Nice channels, I say, as I start to arrange them by Dewey decimal system.

Maybe classic queer girl music CAN fix me—
