The thing with listening to science-y books while I'm working on my writing stuff is that I end up incorporating things in related to them SO magic is a fungal network and dragons are fruiting mushrooms, and the big cities/towns have shielded lights to be able to see the sky at night

We are SO CLOSE to hitting 100% of our fundraising goal - just $262 AUD / $180 USD from being fully funded! It would be really cool if we hit that this weekend 👀

Have you updated your to-do list for the weekend yet? We've got some suggestions for you! ♠️📚🌈📚🪐

Are you a #querying author? Our editors are offering a few different services as part of our Kickstarter rewards! Whether you want to tighten up a pitch letter, or get some eyes on the first pages of your book, or some editing on a short story, we have options available! #writesky 💙📚🌈

by the way- i'm looking to find more webcomics made by trans people, if that's you consider the replies on this post a free advertising space. i'm personally most into stuff targeted at an older/adult age group (vs. YA or children's media) but i'll try anything out

A reminder that I'm a trans author writing queer and trans sci fi stories. I'm leftist af and those themes do run deep in this series. Don't support the wizard shit, don't let the right win. Raise up trans and marginalised voices instead. And remember:

Going to keep reposting this until all 8.1K of the weirdos following me buy it so if you want me to stop, you know what to do

Australia, we've got nation-wide anti-war protests on this weekend. (Link preview shows locations and times, for 6 capitals, not Adelaide.) Note 1: Naarm/ Melbourne is in St Kilda (not State Library or Parliament as usual.) Note 2: Hobart protest is tomorrow/ Saturday, the rest are all Sunday.

Now is a great time to fill out your ballots, Hugo voters!

Everyday I find more cool indies!! I seriously need more time in the world to read them, & you should also read them! Especially... @applesncinnamon.bsky.social @aimeecozza.com @cara.ink @franklynnewt.bsky.social @rubinwrites.bsky.social @roselinbooks.bsky.social @ardenpowell.bsky.social 💖

Gonna have a Kickstarter campaign to finance my horromance novella TROUBLED BODIES in April! If that sounds any good to you - I appreciate any shares and saves 🫶 There's also the option to sign up for ARCs!

Ahhh!! Phantasms & Phenomena is just $259 away from being funded! Have you *seen* the lineup for this anthology? It's going to be fantastic! And ALL of the 15 stories feature aro & ace (and even some aro-ace) characters!

Pro reader tip: not only are there more books in the world than you can read in a lifetime, there are more awesome indie books than you could. So what I'm saying is, you better get busy! 😂 QRP or comment with your favorite indie author(s) to give them a boost today!

🌟STORY REVEAL🌟 'The Resonance of the Hollow' by Ikechukwu Henry A defiant aromantic Bone Singer rejects his society’s obsession with romantic bonds and forges a new kind of connection to confront a memory-devouring force threatening to erase both identity and history ♠️📚🌈📚🪐

Hey. I decided to do a wellness check on the timeline. If you see this: pause. Think of something soft and quiet and peaceful that makes you happy. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and unclench your jaw. Release. … Its not much, but I hope it helped you. Be well, friends. ❤️👍🏾

Hey I'm a *very tired artist* that has to work a pretty exhausting (albeit fun!) part time job next to the comic (and commissions and personal work) which means I get maybe.. 6? Hours per week to work on art cuz PT job saps all my energy. Please read my comic 😩 fracturedcomic.ca

So, Big Boss here, BB for short, well, he heard you were trying really hard. He said he is proud of you for doing what you can right now and he knows you've got this. That said, he thinks you should try and relax a lil bit. Deep breathing. Just for a few minutes. <3

Just wanna say that if you’re supporting financially an artist during these demanding and insane times, you’re amazing. And if you can’t, I feel you so much. Navigating life rn is batshit crazy
