My dream is that one day I will remember to take the Bluetooth headphones off BEFORE disconnecting them from my phone so that it does not shout BLUETOOTH DISCONNECTED directly into my skull.

Things that feel like fate: I was wearing my "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" teeshirt when my copy arrived on the mail today!

Oooooh, this cover! 🍁🍂❤️‍🔥

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Black Speculative Fiction Month starts next week. Read/reserve/rec/preorder/buy accordingly

A lot of people treat boycotts like dieting. If you "mess up" once you may as well eat a whole cake. Remember that financial pressure is about large trends. More people spending less money. You're just one part of a larger effort. Do your best; reduce your dependence on the worst of the worst.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

whoa october is around the corner! reminder that we'll be open again for novellas soon. more info here: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

Two mornings in a row I have woken up early enough to get a walk in the woods! Who can live at this speed? *me, doing a little dance to Nanci Griffith in the woods*

The reason a little rain wasn't enough to scare me out of the woods this morning: MUSHROOMS 🍄📸

The weather report said a 7% chance of rain for the rapture when I decided to go spend the morning in the woods looking at mushrooms, but it just keeps getting darker the longer I am out here (and the farther I get from my car...)

I got up early today just in case the rapture was happening, but now my brain is in wait mode...

There is some really lovely art to entice you to support this project! And then we all get more books in translation! Talk about a win-win!

For the record, the most popular book at Book Show & Tell was A Gentleman's Gentleman by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social So many audience members chiming in they'd read and loved it! The presenter talking about loving books that remind us trans folks were around long before the word trans...

Want to read ethically by ditching Audible/Amazon, Spotify, &c? 💙📚 1. Your local library needs support & has free physical & audiobooks 2. Queer Liberation Library: free digital library for US LBGTQ folks 3. Libro.fm: Audible but pays indie bookshops 4. Bookshop.org: physical books from indies

Speaking of SFF mystery novellas from tiny presses...

I just last second signed up for a "Book Show & Tell" tomorrow morning. We are supposed to bring two books (one as a back-up) we can't stop talking about and have a show & tell about them.

Do one thing today to help. One thing tomorrow. One thing the day after. Taking a swing at every bad thing happening is just going to burn you out. Remember, if everyone does their one thing the world changes

I'm an agender butch with a series full of lesbian trans Arthuriana, as well as a novella about a transfem basilisk who gets seduced by Medusa - bsky.app/profile/rien...

So... Today I was at a Nuclear Physics Seminar, and I got chatting with one of the organizers both before and after the talk, we are both vegetarian, have similar tastes in local restaurants, etc , etc.

I started watching The Pitt and my question is, how does one stop watching The Pitt? The only responsible adults in my house are already in bed.

Yesterday I brought two books to school pick up, because I was almost done with one of them. (I did finish it, and was glad to have the second.)

Novellavember is coming up! Read novellas in November 🍂 🍂🍂🍂 I've been trying to make this a thing for like 4 years now. 🫠 #Novellavember

Thinking today of the woman who unfriended me when I asked her to show some compassion after she shared a post mocking college students for needing a safe space to process their feelings after Trump's first election.

Hi yall I’m a Black, queer, Muslim, disabled artist in the Bible Belt. I work in charcoal, paint, digital illustration & make stickers (prints soon!). Art has always been how I survive + connect—how I turn pain into beauty & build community through creativity.

What if Howl’s bird form was just a little guy?

It is September 14th, and I just had my very first impulse (for this year) of, "should I read this now? Or hold off for #Novellavember?

5 things to do for self-care and resistance this week. 1. Make a 🍂Fall bucket list. There is no guarantee next year will be like this year. 2. Block at least one person/per day 3. Establish your Fall scent for the season 4. Find a local charity to support 5. Get an electric kettle

BABES, I HEARD YOU LIKE QUEER SFF MYSTERY NOVELLAS FROM TINY PRESSES.

It's been a real busy, emotional roller coaster kinda week. But here, have some of my favorite photos from a walk in the woods with my cousin.

As companies show us who they really are, we're going to have to divest from them and seek out companies that uphold our communities and values. We're going to have to sacrifice convenience and move our money with purpose. Build up businesses so they can grow to fill the gaps.

it's been like five hundred years since the last big Christian heresy and schism. something needs to be done about that. the children yearn for heresy

If you need intersex healthcare, the enormous talking spider might help. For certain values of "help".... This story was inspired by my healthcare experiences, which did NOT include an enormous talking spider, but I don't know if that was an improvement.

A doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

I’ve been thinking about community, and activism, and hope, and aside from all the necessary, revolutionary, communal work that lies in front of us, I think my mantra (and my suggestion for anyone who needs or wants it) is: make room for other people’s joy.

THIS BOOK IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM AND I SHOULD DO MORE SCREAMING ABOUT IT.

Words are cheap. Start impeachment inquiries.

Just reviewed a book on StoryGraph a full five stars partially out of spite, because the average rating was abysmal.

🇭🇺 Hungary- Bogi Takács, The Trans Space Octopus Congregation As is typical for me with longer anthologies/collections, I'm going to save the last few stories in this one for later. All of them are SO GOOD and so deeply queer and Jewish, I love it.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

As a Nino Cipri fangirl and someone who intensely prefers paperback, this is 1000% my lane.
