hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

turns out that the right move wasn't "we need to get better at debating people who disagree with us" it was "we need to get better at telling people who are obviously lying to our faces to get fucked"

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day, still here for some reason

I guess for me it's that you've time for big changes but don't expect your big change to necessarily pan out and equal the rest of your life. Your life doesn't start ending in your 30s, there's time for plenty more changes (whether you want them or not)

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

The regime banned non government drones from flying over Chicago for 12 days They’re suppressing the media Without drones, it’s difficult to capture the black hawks. The children being dragged from the homes in the middle of the night They know the world is watching, & they don’t want us to see

#LGBTQWriteAThon I plead the fifth. It was not a good week ☠️ Zero words written.

The Chronicles of Nerezia is a big fantasy series in fun bite-sized format! It has... ✨ aro, ace, non-binary main characters / worldbuilding ✨ high stakes and quieter moments around games ✨ found family road trip claudiearseneault.com/nerezia/ 🌈📚 #booksky #QueerAdultSFF

#LGBTQWriteAThon Day 3: I cannot promote what I’m proud of yet because it has not been announced 😶‍🌫️ But without giving too much away, an aspec story of my heart got an acceptance to a potential future anthology. My Friend+, who also wrote for the anthology, got in too!

Everything is terrible and on fire but. there’s an anthology I failed to write for because of my mental health and it has been haunting me ever since because I wanted to be in it so badly.

There's no wrong way to be aromantic, asexual, or aspec. Intimacy is such a diverse concept that allows for different meanings and associations based on ones own desires and boundaries. All the ways in which we navigate our identities are important, and I think that's beautiful

Getting people to fully accept and affirm your happily single life can be a challenge.

I just wish that tech platforms resisted the urge to become everything platforms. I admire that Medium for example, is, on the whole, only a space for writing. Imho, not everything needs video, & the intro of video & livestream into EVER platform feels overwhelming. & this is coming from a TikToker!

The problem with knowing so many cool writers is that they collectively put out cool books faster than you can read 🥲

Happy #LGBTQWriteAThon! I'm Lucy, an aspec disaster writing aspec disasters. I have not written seriously in a While. The longer I Don't Write the more terrifying starting again becomes. I am going to Do the Thing. I don't have a word count goal and honestly I will be happy if I just OPEN a doc.

STARVING SAINTS by Caitlin Starling

Personally, when someone is asking for recs: - double check that you fit all criterias before doing self-rec. - If you know others that fit, rec another alongside yours (builds community, gives op a sense you know your genre/people, feels less like trying to make a sale, more like trying to help)

In more general promo advice: - ALT any images (save that ALT somewhere) - link directly; the less clicks, the more likely the sale - describe your thing! Can be tropes, can be a plot pitch, can be comps, etc. Just tell something!

Just a reminder that Freydis Moon's new book is going to released tomorrow and that they are NOT Latinx or Mexican. They are a serial Brownfisher who loves to appropriate and steal from BIPOC people and be a cyberbully on top of that. Please give your money to real Latinx Authors instead.

Idea: if you REALLY don't want to have an autistic child that badly, just don't have children. You're probably not equipped for taking care of them anyway.

I think that lots of people forget that most of us aren't posting in some sort of targeted professional role; we're just sharing parts of our lives online, which includes not only our work and knowledge but also parts of our personalities.

(Apparently getting free will after having 93 percent of your behavior controlled for your entire existence will do weird things to your impulse control.)

A lot of our political discourse boils down to "I have the RIGHT to say that I don't believe you are a person, and if me saying so results in you suffering the harms of non-personhood, that's not my fault, and if you try to stop me from dehumanizing you, you are discriminating against me."

🚨 Block this account ASAP!!!🚨 They post AI slop, proudly tag things AI, and want you to add your content to their “library” where “it will stay with us FOREVER.” The most sinister shit ever. Do NOT feed your art, writing, video into the plagiarism machine FOR THEM - they will say you consented!

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

*banjo picking and sporadic musket fire* dearest martha, the horrors of war-torn portland cannot even be described

Trad publishers: “There’s just no market for trans romance. We can’t take that kind of risk.” Also trad publishers: “How about a novel where a woman wants to fuck airplanes?”
