Once again, I am struck by that double-edged blade of wanting to talk shop about what I'm writing vs. not wanting to spoil it for #writersky

For socialists in the US it is so important right now to be building organizations capable of gumming up the cogs of the imperialist machine. Protesting is good but it is not stopping anything. We cannot confine ourselves to the same methods that don’t work

Everybody should have a moon dog in their life

“Where can i find a good man”

Beginning my weekly two hour challenge. Might try my hand at a bit of meta-fiction

The sense of freedom The embrace of complete To face what was cast aside In belief of survival In reality, simply scarring And with one breath Acceptance of your forgiveness Embrace of innocents Remaining in spite of all And it's wounds, healed Countless voices of you speak You are forgiven

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say: If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

peopleWatching season 3 continues-- watch episode 2 now! Why not compress the entire dating experience into one day... Why date, when you can TURBODATE... Why ignore lovely, heartfelt indie shows when you can watch them for free: youtu.be/Qc-3FWnHZr0?...

Another round at this my9games.com trend Pandora's Tower is an anomaly, in that I've never played or, but twice has eluded my grasp: once at blockbuster, again when wii u shop closed down

this industry is such a mess and its no thanks to all of these shitty fucking corps/publishers

Prime example of "killing your darlings" on the next draft I cut out an entire chapter I believe held little to the story, and am planning to dissect it and transplant any worthwhile sections for later chapters #writersky #writingsky

I talk a lot of shit for someone who makes funny faces every time he looks in the mirror

I will make no secret, nor have pride or shame on the matter My knowledge is a pick and mix of curiosity and occasional necessity. My guise is effective in convincing others I carry more wisdom than I truly do. I am a constant state of outsider art refining itself

Un-yorkshires your pudding

Onto next chapter reformat + rewrites. Figuring out some possible cuts and / or reworks

Off top of mu head: Tanith Lee, Robert Holdstock, M John Harrison, Storm Constantine, Tad William

White wild horses strode Under the iron-grey wings Of protean birds of prey Both beasts with fangs and claws Well hidden under cloak of steam And feint of foolish eyes Who stand atop the stony wall And expect not to fall

I nearly got injured, possibly killed by creme brulée

Not OK according to the labour party: grown adults consenting to and engaging in niche kinks or making porn with other grown adults OK according to the labour party: working with and promoting men associated with a convicted pedophile and sex-trafficker—until it's politically inconvenient for them

That's why they hate to see openly flamboyant fem gays and autistic ppl

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

The Rowling tax on female athletes is a a wake-up call to all women. The gender critical are tearing up the rights of ALL WOMEN. Rich and powerful men are using the gender critical to facilitate their goal of the complete subjugation of ALL WOMEN.

This is the truth of the matter. They and the the useful idiots in the “Gender Critical” movement are building Gilead before our eyes ⬇️👇⬇️👇⬇️👇⬇️

May this injustice fuel your own drive to create I'm certain it'll help me out with some projects

How I arrived on Bluesky

I'm going through some of my Kurt Vonnegut books again, and, as always, this passage strikes me. I read BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS just a little too young (13 years old) and it broke my brain in the best way possible. I legit would be a far worse person had I not read it exactly when I did.

A few.... Just a few Lower double digits

Though GenAi drones, it is no bee And what it spews is not honey No notes of flowers like perfume Only malformation per the fume No flowers grow in its wake Only plumes of smog as it awakes A mound of stones deluded it may think Over skin and bones from whom it steals the drink

Let's give this a bash My9games.com

Trump is incorrect - Starmer is Churchill, in the way that he excused massacres and cosied up to a fascist dictator before realising said fascist dictator would start a world war

My writer high: finding connections I hadn't realised during rewrites, either within the text or outside of the text

Top horror/horror-adjacent stories - aka, the ones I've seen No particular audience or rank Movies 1. It part one 2. The Orphanage 3. Hellboy 4. Frankenstein 5. Pan's Labyrinth 6. The Mummy Book: Mythago Woods, House on The Borderlands

In the last month, Marin has had their gender affirming surgery pulled out of reach, and now they’ve been laid off. I’m doing what I can to support them here but if anyone has any help they can offer I can’t bear to see them lose hope like this

Funding exterminationist projects has never been this fun and Magical!

Please share - and donate if you can! I'm helping to raise money for Isaac - a Black trans kid seeking vital healthcare in England. Isaac is lucky enough to have a very supportive family, but they have all been screwed time and time again by the NHS and UK authorities. Any contribution will help!

There are so many ways to do good. Small ways, just little daily things. Helping a stranger with something, helping a neighbor, a friend, listening, being present. Endless ways to improve things in quiet ways. And you never need to mention them. Just do them because they are good to do.

On episode 2 of Under Salt Marsh Through the pieces into the air, and let's the answers be up in freefall

Honestly, just don't call yourself an ally at all. The word has been tarnished and used by performative liberals. Just be kind to everyone, take no shit, and fuck up Nazis. That's it.

Spring arrives in spirals Of snow and lions And for these sights The mind in winter Built for slumber Has yet to properly bloom Muscles, glass, hair, a hide Even eyes evade the warming light Of course, the matters change Muscles crack, hair becomes silk Even with the mind of winter Frees itselfs
