Kat helped me immensely with my speculative witchy novel, The Working. Thumbs up! 🙌 #WritingCommunity #writing #SFF #SpecLit

Back from our Witchcamp in the Texas Hill Country where we worked at the feral edges with wild alchemy. Such a severe drought there. The big storm wasn't enough to make a dent in aquifers. But brought a 🌪 tornado within a mile to us. #Witch #Witchsky #pagan

Hope you'll join us for #tarot seminar for #writers at the Quasar Conf! #WritingCommunity #SpecLit #SFF @sfwa.org @bsfwriters.bsky.social

Who's got to pack to teach at Tejas Web Witchcamp? Me! Looking forward to being with dear friends and making potent magic. #WitchSky #PaganSky #Witch

Finally began @aemarling.bsky.social 's Neon Riders and love the #solarpunk features of the story. The novel was selected as one of the 5 best Solarpunk books by @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social (mine too!) So join me in reading it! @fivebooks.com #BookSky

#solarpunk book club with @susankayequinn.bsky.social ! Next up is a wonderful anthology that decenters humans, edited by @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social .

Check out my latest blog that notes many #writers would rather write #horror #grim #dystopian works than #hope these days. (Is that what you all prefer to read?) Hope you'll take a look: brightflame.com/writers-frau... #hopepunk #solarpunk #SFF #SpecLit #WritingCommunity

I highly recommend @teffeau.bsky.social 's A HUNGER WITH NO NAME. A story of rebellion and #hope. Take a look. #solarpunk #hopepunk #SpecLit #SFF #BookSky

@acwise.bsky.social Just noticed the reverse side of your postcard for Ballad of the Bone Road (that I look forward to reading). "Wish you were here darlin' xoxo Jimmy Valentine" Really fun to see that following your reading at #Capclave!

I'm procrastinating from a story deadline. So here's a little chipmunk for you. #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #Writing (not) #WillIMakeThisDeadline? @susankayequinn.bsky.social , I think you can relate! #SpecLit #SFFH

I should be finishing a story I'm writing against a deadline ... so of course, I'm inspired to write a blog post instead. #WritingCommunity #SpecLit

I hope you enjoy The Binding. Looks like you kind of have a theme going with both of these titles :-)

Webbing up! Growing community that lifts #solarpunk and hopeful #climate fiction. Follow @hopepit.bsky.social #hopepunk

Fun to see #authors I know at #Capclave and meet new folx. Full day of interesting panels ahead. #WritingCommunity #SpecLit #SFFH

From @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social "Propping up fossil fuel is like propping up white supremacy: the future of the USA is a nonwhite majority, and the future of the human race is renewable energy." I highly recommend following her for #truth #justice www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-war-on-t...

I love my writing group! Go @bsfwriters.bsky.social ! #WritingCommunity #SpecLit #SFF

This whole thread! #futurism #WritingCommunity #BookSky #SpecLit

Heading to a regional Pagan Pride event tomorrow to offer a #solarpunk + magic + #activism workshop. Gonna bring my street drum and #resist signs because you never know when you'll stumble upon a protest along the way!

#greenlathe is organizing a #solarpunk #healthcare #conference this November the 8th! https://www.greenlathe.org/ A FREE virtual conference brought to you by Public Invention and GreenLathe Collective, featuring scientists and inventors covering topics such as: Open Medical Hardware Open […]

Oh dang, I forgot this came out today. Check it out. A bunch of really great stories including, “Once Upon a Time at The Oakmont,” by yours truly. ☺️

a beautiful story with an apt title "River Kin" highlights the living web as a whole and humans in relation with all our kin.

I'm never so bold as to claim that the things I enjoy are objectively "the best," but Five Books asked me for a list of #solarpunk books I recommend, so I listed five I think more people should read. All novels, too, instead of short stories! I also talk a bit about one of my own books. #booksky

This thread re: #technofascists sucking up wealth. In this case, from publishers and #WritingCommunity

Where’s the line between understanding genre and being thought police? Excellent article by @brightflame.bsky.social and @eruditelijah.bsky.social about how we can talk to people about solarpunk, explain the concept of genre, and center our conversations on hope

It's up! @eruditelijah.bsky.social 's rant/analysis responding to #solarpunk critique. Lots of resources! brightflame.com/in-response-... Mentions: @susankayequinn.bsky.social @chrisrmuscato.bsky.social @aemarling.bsky.social @andrewsage.bsky.social @solarpunkseed.bsky.social & more #justice #hope

Heads up! A guest blog by @eruditelijah.bsky.social will post on my site later today! It's filled with #solarpunk resources and responds to misinformed critiques of the movement. You can subscribe to my blog at brightflame.com to be the first to see the post. #activism #justice #hope

I was tickled to find two 5-star reviews for THE WORKING in a place I didn't think to check (smashwords). Thank you! Here's a peek at what I found. Read my #witchy #solarpunk novel? Consider adding a review someplace 🙏! #BookSky #WItchSky #SpecLit #SFF #hope #books #reading #WritingCommunity

Wow! Definite legend! I'm so looking forward to @sirensconference.org

@manuscriptacademy.bsky.social friends, I've been on your mailing list x2 so get double the goodness. I finally unsubscribed from one to save my Inbox. Just letting you know I still love you and recommend your offerings! @juliekingsley.bsky.social @jsinsheim.bsky.social #WritingCommunity

I've found so many great reads through Sirens reading lists of diverse #SpecLit. Though I took part in the online Sirens a few years back, it's on the E Coast (Turtle Island/US) this year and I plan to make it!

Hey folx, especially #writers and creatives: consider adding your website to your profiles. I want to find your writing, work, art, etc! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #SpecLit #SFF #SFFH #ClimateFiction #solarpunk #WitchSky

Filled me to be in W Philly (US) all day with 100s of #pagans . This year, a number of people sought me out to buy my book, The Working. 🥰 Nice to offer workshop early in the day so I could just hang! Bought 3 interesting #tarot decks! #PaganPride #WitchSky

This, from @brklyndragon.bsky.social ! See the excellent original thread from @eruditelijah.bsky.social on #solarpunk diversity. And the original, original thread he refers to that's an excellent response to critics of solarpunk!

Yes!!! Kap's Needle in ebook is only 1.99 until Sep 5th! 💀🚀 Cheaper than the resources spent on the Needle's expedition!

#Witches & #pagans! Who's joining me at Philly #Pagan Pride on Saturday? My 11am workshop lifts #hope & #resilence and will help us navigate the tightening vortex of these times. And create #justice. We'll sample magical #activism technique and I'll teach a secret embedded in The Working. #WitchSky

I have a handful of unpublished stories & found some good outlets to sub to. But, duh. I trusted my memory & didn't put in my calendar (atypical for me). I'm sure I'll miss some deadlines before I recreate the list. 😬 #WritersLife #SpecLit #SFF #solarpunk #WritingCommunity

I missed this thread when @eruditelijah.bsky.social first posted it. Excellent #solarpunk perspective.

@brklyndragon.bsky.social Pointing out this whole thread to you. You're the one who first introduced me to #solarpunk and you've also written and spoken about bringing in Black perspectives and Black audiences. @bsfwriters.bsky.social

I'm going to #Capclave for the first time, adding to the writing-cons-I-can-drive-to! (or train to) Glad I see some folx I know on the attendee list = less stressful when going someplace new. @randeedawn.com @atgreenblatt.bsky.social @acwise.bsky.social @matthewkressel.net #WritingCommunity

Our own @brightflame.bsky.social is popping up everywhere! fivebooks.com/best-books/t...

I am still so tickled that THE WORKING is in this 5 best #solarpunk books. Hope you'll read it. fyi, I donate all royalties to #climate #justice organizations. Consider reading all these #books plus seeking out other #hope filled climate fiction.

NEW: "Solarpunk...focuses on how we can make the world better: how we can thrive and adapt in the world that we are headed into" Sarena Ulibarri recommends the best solarpunk books: fivebooks.com/best-books/t...

Thank you for lifting #solarpunk and recommending The Working amidst 4 other wonderful books @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social ! @fivebooks.com

I'm behind on blogging, on updating the Great Reads on my site, and on scanning open calls. 🫤 😵 Yet, 2 exciting things on the horizon. Hint on 1: an awesome #solarpunk blog post will appear as if by magic! (meaning I'm not #writing it) Hope to reveal soon! #SpecLit #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Wisdom once again from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social #antifascism #justice #resist
