#TBRuary Day 26: Feral Rec The Crack at the Heart of Everything by Fiona Fenn was aggressively recommended to me by my sister, and I still haven't read it! I'm always interested in good queer fantasy!

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

#TBRuary Day 24: New Author Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy is a pretty new addition to my TBR! It promises to be cozy, whimsical, and queer, which is what I'm all about. 😅 #tbr #booksky #bookrec

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! I realized while writing a demiro MC that, uh, yeah, that's me, lol. I'm demisexual, too, though, which Gabby can't relate to. To celebrate, here's a bundle of 21 books & 2 games by arospec authors &/or featuring arospec characters! itch.io/b/3517/aroma...

#TBRuary Day 16: Fact or Fiction Dark Archives by Megan Rosenbloom has been on my TBR the longest. It's a nonfiction book about the history of books bound in human skin. What's not to like? 😅 I like weird oddities, so this sounded right up my alley. #tbr #nonfiction

#TBRuary Day 15: New Genre I'm a day late on this one, but I just added this to my TBR: The Entanglement of Rival Wizards by Sara Raasch. While I live for good LGBT+ representation, I'm not much of a fan of the Romance genre. However, this sounds like a lot of fun and has D&D vibes, so I'm in!

The coffee shop next to my house offers a smoothie bowl that I just tried for the first time, and honestly, it was so gloriously good that I'm never eating anything else ever again. 🍓🍌🥭

#tbruary Day 11 This book, What Moves the Dead, has been on my TBR FOREVER. I love the work of Poe, and this retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher really intrigues me. Hope to finally read this one soon!

Sometimes you just need a reminder of how much Wuthering Heights slaps. The song, not the book. No, I will not be accepting arguments. 👀💃

The star filled his set with hits and familiar images from home, but also expanded his lens to make an argument about the place of Puerto Rico within a larger American context. n.pr/4kt17WQ

One bar in Puerto Rico posted a promo featuring the quarterbacks from the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots sitting on the iconic white plastic lawn chairs that grace the cover of Bad Bunny's newest album. https://to.pbs.org/3O4BX4K

After writer's group, I went to the thrift store and found so much fabric. 🤩 (It has already been claimed.) #craftsky #secondhand #sewist

I know this gif is overused, but I am grinning ear to ear in the middle of the coffee shop. This plot is SO GOOD. #writingcommunity #wip

Also, happy #caturday from the sleepiest girl.

I'm at writer's group this morning! Hoping to get work done on an outline. Have a happy and productive Saturday, fellow creatives! 😊 #writesky #artsky #writingcommunity

Wild and crazy Friday night. (Or, cozy sewing and watching Rachel Maksy reruns. 😅)

#TBRuary Day 6: Love is Love I am utterly ashamed to say that other than a handful of tinglers, I have never read anything by Chuck Tingle! This one, Lucky Day, is in the physical TBR next to my bed, so I hope to remedy that soon! (Also, this cover is INCREDIBLE.) #TBR

#tbruary Day 4: Speaking your language Would LOVE some recommendations! I usually like horror, and I find Japanese horror especially interesting. I'd like to read more of it. On the other side, I do enjoy queer cozy fantasy, too. (The duality of humans!) #bookrecs

#TBRuary Day 3: Around the World I'm halfway thru 'It's Not A Cult' by Joey Batey, which oozes the culture and language of Northern England. It's a brilliantly written and eerie read. I've been a fan of Batey and his music for years. This book hasn't disappointed. Steeped in folk horror! #booksky

#TBRuary Day 2: Racial Diversity The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones (American Indigenous, Blackfeet Nation). I still can't stop talking about this book, though it's a few years old now. What a chilling but beautifully crafted book-- it still sticks with me! #amreading #booksky

Merry Imbolc to all! (And Lammas to those in the southern hemisphere!) It's hard to imagine spring will ever return around these parts (🥶), but we'll get there! 🌸

#tbruary Day one! Hello! I'm Jenny, a writer and devoted reader. My TBR is 33 books. READER Q: So many! Sherlock Holmes stories got me started on reading when I was a kid, so I feel like those are worth a mention. WRITER Q: Check out The Last Temptations of Iago Wick at the link in my profile!

#QueerPrompts Day 1 I'm Jenny: queer, nonbinary, happy to be here. I just finished draft 1 on a cozyish fantasy series-starter set in the Lovelace&Wick universe. It's got wlw, a fallen angel-turned-bard, mysterious bad guys, and all in the hip and happening 1980s. Outlining book 2 now. 😊 #wip

#queerwriters Saturday check in! ✅️ Finished the first draft of a new book ✅️ Continued work on cover revamps for my existing series ✅️ Made a chickpea paprikash that was *chef's kiss* (Not writing-related, but hey! A writer's gotta eat!) Hope everyone is hanging in there! 🙌 #writingcommunity

This is an actual photo of my sinuses today. 🙃 But there is work to be done, so we grab some tea and carry on. ☕️ #writingcommunity

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Gutted to hear about Catherine O'Hara. I'll be listening to Nightmare Before Christmas on repeat. 🖤

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any. The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

I finally fixed my broken sewing machine, so what do I make? Ren Faire garb! 🧙‍♂️ This was made using the B4669 pattern from Butterick and old pillowcases. #craftsky #renfaire

"aren't you being a little mean? it's just some ai." No. We can be meaner. Harsher. More demonic. More diabolical. Humiliate harder. Throw alley-oops and dunk on their pathetic attempts to masquerade as a creative person.

I know audio books aren't everyone's mug of grog, but Travis Baldree does such an incredible job reading his own work. Truly a delight! #amreading #booksky #cozyfantasy

Can't wait!! 😁

I bought this jumpsuit a couple months ago thinking it would be super fashionable and cool. I have never worn it outside the house, but I've ended up sleeping in it like a onesie. I call it my garbage bag. 🗑✨️

While this draft simmers, I'm taking notes for the sequel. Have you ever been *so* excited to meet a character? I can't wait to tell his story; Mr. DeMille, he is ready for his closeup. #writingcommunity #wip #writesky

Folks, we have a story! First draft is DONE! Now comes the fun stuff. 🙃 #writingcommunity #queerwriters #amediting #andediting #andstilleditingmore

Minnesota's indie bookstores are standing up for the right to speak, assemble, and be heard. Here's how readers everywhere can stand with them:

It can be hard to know how to help our neighbors, especially when things seem so overwhelming. A friend shared www.standwithminnesota.com, which gives an incredible starting point. We can't all do everything, but we can all do something, and that's a heck of a lot better than doing nothing.

Every once in a while, I need to be reanimated, and Nightmare Weekend gave me the opportunity this time around. 🧪💉🖤 #Reanimator #horror #galaxycon #nightmareweekend #jeffreycombs #bruceabbott

Thank you for reading and for your kind words! 🤗

FINALLY started The Magnus Protocol today, and it's like a homecoming... a really horrifying homecoming. And I love it so much. 🖤 #tma #top @rustyquill.com

Me: Yeah, I'm trying to be mindful of my spending. 😇 Them: Hey, there's a 40th anniversary screening of a Reanimator coming to town, complete with Jeffrey Combs q&a. Me:

Finish a suitable first draft of a fight scene! (Ugh, fight scenes. 😬) Then I can reward myself with a scene between my favorite OTP. 🖤 #demonhusbands #queerwriters #lgbtqwriters #goals

Tfw you're about to start writing the scene that has been living in your head rent-free since you started the project! #amwriting #wip #queerwriters
