oh I guess e-book preorders are open

When I was a wee tot, I was certain of three things: 1. My hair was red. 2. I was gay. 3. My eventual cause of death would be checking into the Hotel California.

Shop indie!

It is hot o’clock and I am sweatyposting

I love being, queer, and being queer

City Council To Vote On Whether To Open Five New Wraith Batteries Inside City Limits "No known purpose," say experts "Their claws rend flesh and their screams rend souls," says a councilperson with no name. "It's the way of the future, in the sense that the wraiths will eat the future too."

I wish you well in your adult literacy journey

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

"hottie with a body" implies the existence of other hotties, hotties beyond our mortal ken. hotties without form or substance

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

A little friend I met today.

I can turn a dance floor into a runway if u even care

One thing to know about me is that when my cat meows at me, I’m going to meow back

Maybe it's maybelline.. but perhaps it's perhapselline

This is actually such a common occurrence, I’ve noticed—the opening image in the first few lines of a manuscript being a character running. I’m not suggesting anyone change it (especially not without having read your manuscript!), but I think it’s something to be conscious of!

One time, like a decade ago, a conservative politician went on the news and said, “All gay people care about is pop music and the beach,” and at first I was offended, but honestly he fucking got us gal

Monroe has been trying to knock our TV over every single day since we moved into this place about a year ago. We took the TV down last week and put it on the floor, and now she doesn’t care about it at all. Her mind amazes me sometimes.

For those who enjoyed the Red-Winged Blackbird photo from yesterday, here's a slow motion video that gives you another perspective. #wildlife #birds (No sound as it was captured at 120fps).

the love song of j. alfred prufrock the power ballad of j. alfred prufrock the country-western crossover hit of j. alfred prufrock espresso [remix] feat. j. alfred prufrock the love song (j. alfred prufrock's version)

Calling out of work and staying in bed all day with a bad case of impostor syndrome

#MSWL I want to see projects with the vibes of this song and music video: Queer with a capital Q, set in or heavily influenced by ballroom and drag culture, preferably by queer and trans BIPOC creators. This is at the top of my wishlist. youtu.be/XXIX2WnfbpE?...

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

I heard the new Lady Gaga and Doechii song and transmogrified into something even gayer than I was yesterday

'Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried I'm opposite, I'm on the other side I feel all these feelings I can't control Oh no, don't know why All this sympathy is just

Amelia Bedelia is an icon of neurodivergence

Over 28,000 young people signed on for a Seattle Public Library card, which enables access to e-books even if they don't live in Seattle. The program was started by Brooklyn Public Library to expand service in communities impacted by censorship.

hell yeah

When the going gets tough, organizations go "well let's not rock the boat." I'm tired of seeing it. Stepping back on trans rights comes first, free speech and women's right to vote will be attacked in time. We need bold choices, not safe ones. Read more in my column for @lgbtqnation.com

It’s my birthday! I’m 29 today. Happy for another trip ‘round the sun. :)

Woke up to this beautiful view today 🥹

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

I have so many excellent queries right now. Is there something in the water?

For Whom the Edible Hits

While the sentiment is nice, blanket statements like “Once a writer, always a writer!” are just…not true. I wrote seven manuscripts as a young person, queried six of them, signed with a literary agent, and went on sub. I haven’t written much (if any) fiction for the better part of a decade.
