My ex and I adopted our cats from here, they do wonderful work- please share, or even donate if you can!

It's very recognizable, in part because the scams don't change much--I suspect it's really only one or two people generating all of them--but how weirdly specific and yet bizarrely generic they manage to be when talking about my book. It's like eating ice cream with no flavor.

Aaaaaaaand how STUNNING is this cover design? 🔥🔥🔥 Stoked to finally reveal what Labyrinth is actually going to look like! I said let's aim for 1000 people on the kickstarter early—and we have SCREAMED past in just a couple of days to ✨🎉 1200 ✨🎉Let's go for 1500! 2000! Sign up at link following.

We have a LOT of cool art coming in @hellofutureme.bsky.social's LABYRINTH, including this incredible piece by the amazing @hookieduke.bsky.social! Erica has also been kind enough to offer a breakdown of her process for educational purposes, also be included in the book! Link in our bio and below!

“I really, truly, am grateful for every day that I still get to be here, especially knowing how many folks aren’t with us after the Seal cracked, but sometimes it’s hard to be grateful when you’re elbow deep in a vampire’s chest cavity trying to grab their heart while they’re still fighting you.”

Hey y’all! Excited to finally be able to announce that I’ve got a story in Labyrinth Volume 0 (the dragon vs angel fight that shows up in the trailer is inspired by a scene from my story)! So delighted to have been invited alongside so many amazing authors! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wra...

Unrelated, but this cat has no shadow and is clearly a Fae. Glad they're getting out to vote though.

and don't forget to yell at the govt about AI. they're probably getting a bunch of normies responding who think this shit is fine. and while you're at it, contact your MP and let them know what you think too #CanPoli www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/s...

gofund.me/509c6746c I really despise doing this but I'm also panicking a bit.

Hey Ontario. Please pay attention to this. It's fucking terrifying. As a renter I rely on rent control in order to, you know, LIVE, and this threatens to take it away from me and most people I know. Write to your MPP. Call Ford's office. I don't even know what to think right now. Fuck Ford, man.

The ceasefire in Gaza means that many assume Palestinians are fine now. But the peace is precarious and so many people had their land taken for a security buffer zone. My friend and brother Mohamed is one of them, $76 gets him to the next milestone. chuffed.org/project/help...

Kickstarter staff have been on strike for 21 days, in a bid to protect their working week and win a minimum salary. These are small, reasonable asks for an outstanding team that have helped to bring countless new pieces of independent art into the world. How you can support: kickstarterunited.org

This photo is a surprisingly accurate summary of my personality.

So apparently not everyone knew that some ADHD generics do not appear to function identically? Just in case it’s helpful, here is a list of things that work for me. This list is SPECIFIC to Vyvanse only.

Lest we forget

objective quality is fake and most people are really just judging how much they enjoyed something instead of how well it accomplished the thing it was setting out to do, because answering that question requires being curious about what it was trying to do

Oh, hello

Hey fam, the translator for this excellent project was one of the folks kidnapped off the flotilla trying to aid Gaza earlier this month. She's finally safe and on her way home, let's give her some good news to return to and get the project funded ko-fi.com/africantrans...

BREAKING: The First Circuit rejects Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. In the New Jersey-led multistate case, the appeals court, in a 100-page ruling, keeps the nationwide scope of the injunction blocking the EO in place. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As soon as I posted this my kid borrowed my headphones so they could sing off key at the top of their lungs so... That backfired. 😂

Being a neurospicy parent with misphonia to a neurospicy kid who loves verbal stemming means that investing in fancy-ass noise cancelling headphones has been a life changer. Holy shit these things are worth every overpriced penny.

Tomorrow is the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation in Canada and if you're like me and didn't know you could read the full report from the Truth & Reconciliation Commission along with the 94 Calls to action then you might want to check out this page: nctr.ca/publications...

Abolish ICE. Now. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

I couldn't agree more, and you all should read this!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

wishing all my fellow bisexuals a very visible #bivisibilityday the most visible thing i do is write SFF about horny queers making terrible life choices, so why not check out this trilogy-starter full of shifty politics and grumpy dragons it would be easier to count the characters who AREN’T bi🔥

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

Loved this series. Can’t recommend enough. Book 1 is free and the rest on sale. Bargain!

Watching football for a few hours, so AMA about Bounty Inc.

Lol. Translation: "The more worried you are about fascism, the more willing you should be to accept fascist democrats" No, thank you. Kindly yeet yourself into the nearest star.

Y'all, This is serious. Please help Bex to live. Money is what's needed to extend their life. And if we each give SOMETHING, they can get the care they need & deserve. Please don't let money be the reason why they lose this battle. That is what happened to my mother. No one deserves that.

Yes, this!!

Friends and friendlies on here: don't stop talking about your lives and joys. I know some folk are quiet or staying away what with *everything* but posts about cats and books and funny shaped puddles are essential to us getting through it. And shouldn't be drowned out by the fash.

Random observation: ever since I started paying for my pizza in advance, online, direct from the pizza place (including tip!) my pizzas have arrived consistently fast & exactly as I ordered. It's almost like folks not having to guess whether or not they'll be paid for their work motivates them.
