On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

"i saw a bad post on x" ok well i saw a turd in the toilet but i'm not making you look at a screenshot of it

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line(s) of your book: from "A Memory of Blood and Magic" (knbrindle.com/paths-of-memory)

Since X is suppressing posts from MN I'll post here too:

YES THIS INCLUDES THE CROSSWORD APP

Every right wing accusation is a confession.

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

Imagine watching ordinary Americans without weapons facing this night after night and thinking "I think a QR code will help here."

Never. Not once. Not ever ever. Zilch. Nada. No way no how. Nein, non, la, iie. Absolutely Not.

No. No, everybody does not. I have never opened ChatGPT or any other genAI system. You know who else has never used genAI? EVERYBODY who has ever written books, tv, or movies in the entire history of books, tv, and movies up to 10 years ago.

Things are rough rn, but Sometimes healing from trauma IS the quest In my anti-epic fantasy 1st-person oral history duology, nonbinary youth Arin discovers that trauma is the source of their power But our greatest strengths aren’t always what we think they are knbrindle.com/paths-of-memory

Oh hey, looks like Libby has a built in spot to let them know what we all think of their recent announcement about allowing AI books in their systems.

A very important thing for you to know about Icelandic is that the word "rassgat" (butthole) is used as an endearment about cute things. So if you say someone is "algjört rassgat" (a total butthole) it means they are VERY cute. If the cuteness is overwhelming we say "rúsínurassgat" (raisin asshole).

Much ink has been spilled to the effect of "trans girl spinny skirt cringe" but I don't think people realize how demandingly rigid the rituals of forced masculinity are. I was screamed at for wearing the "wrong colored" shoes. Let trans women be girls, most were not allowed to be.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

I don’t even *make* NSFW work but I am begging people to please be normal about NSFW work and the people who make it.

I designed the whole thing as a wraparound to demonstrate my understanding for book cover design requirements.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

Check on the kids in your life. Check in on the queer kids especially. Many of them, like many of us, are really not ok about Renee Good’s murder and the far right spin on it. They see it as clear as day.

the pope should excommunicate j.d. vance and any other catholics with positions of authority in this admin.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: “TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.” That is the problem

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

Well said, and seconded.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

White writers get LOUD. No lol I'm proud to be a "lefty" or "w*ke" - say we must change our government now and stop straddling sales, tie-in, and con access from the racists who don't care that you're a "lefty" as long as you're not actually standing against supremacy in any meaningful way.

White writers staying silent: I don't care if you'll lose money from the tie-in readers or get banned from cons or treated like I am. You've protected fascism for way too long. Not them. *You.* Stop coddling racists. Stand up. History will judge you, but the world has been and is watching now.

I think every cis white American writer should say: - Trump must be removed and his accomplices held accountable. - I am going to listen about how I've tolerated racism and do my best to change. - We need to have the conversations about whiteness and supremacy. You must care about who will not.

TW: Domestic Abuse Apparently, Tennessee has a new domestic abuse registry, and cis men are freaking the fuck out. As a person who has front row seats to my mother's domestic abuse? Let me tell you? This needs to be a thing in all 50 states. Make abusers terrified.

I dunno why anyone would get AI to write You're outsourcing the good bit

Mine is Connection. 2025 was very isolating for me, and in 2026 I want to be more connected: to family, to friends, to readers, to the author community, to colleagues in the therapist community, to my body, and to myself. I'll put this into practice by 1/2

New Years can be hard when you’re chronically ill People are setting goals for the upcoming year… and many of us can’t participate Our goal is to survive & lessen suffering If all you did in 2025 was survive, that’s ok It’s ok if that’s your goal for 2026 too Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

Submitted in support of the campaign to get a snow plow named "Abolish ICE" in Chicago - last good deed of the year If we all submit the same name, it's gotta make the cut, right? www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...

My 2025 accomplishments: - published my 3rd novel, knbrindle.com/common-accord - started 2 new novels - my 1st book fair - published my open TTRPG system versesrpg.com - paid off my 100 ISBN investment with book sales - joined a new therapy practice - survived a year of fascist dictatorship

This is an excellent idea. I'm going to introduce this in my family this year ❤️

If you have trouble achieving NY Goals, consider instead choosing a personal Value to steer by for the coming year. It might be Curiosity, or Productivity, or Connection. Whatever you choose, when you're faced with a choice you can ask yourself, "will this move me towards my value, or away from it?"
