I have a lot of books in the Smashwords End of Year Sale! It's likely this is one of the rare last time I drop books below $2.99 there (they will be lowering royalties next year) so if it's your store of choice, now's the time! Aroace fantasy ~ www.smashwords.com/profile/view... #EOYsale25

BE NOT AFRAID is out now! A deadbeat guitarist's bad night gets worse when he's thrust into hell, seraphs demanding his death hot on his heels.

RIDE OR DIE BESTIES SIGN ME UP!!! 👏

Guess who has two thumbs and just officially signed paperwork to be a librarian again?

Any tips for rebuilding atrophied writing skills? I stopped writing in 2019 (with the exception of one short story) and I’m just so overwhelmed because I’m starting from zero. I don’t know how to start again.

One day and 6 hours left to pick this up!

Next interview for the library position is Thursday. Good vibes appreciated!

“So you just read books all day?” Usually immediately after handling a death threat or cleaning bodily fluids

I am sick so Please do at least one of these things to help me feel (mentally) better: 1) Send me pics of furry animals (except tarantulas please, I have Reasons) 2) Go check out my pinned post and buy some of my books maybe??? Or at least share them ❤️

Ah yes, I see we're already whatabouting book pirates. Fuck the entire way off. We're not talking about baby formula or insulin. There is literally no justification for stealing art. Not because you're broke, not because you don't have access to a library, nothing. You will survive without it 🚮

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Coziest hat and scarf you’ll ever wear!!

hey what's an aro or ace SFF book you really loved this year? Tell me what you loved most about it! I especially want to hear about your indie favs, or books by non white authors <3

I have an art shop in addition to my book! I've got bookish stickers and prints, an "angry disabled" painting series, and some silly goofy miscellany. I'd love if it found its people! ko-fi.com/juliemarchbo...

🧶 So what IS the Fasten Off Yarnalong? This is an online stitchalong event (crochet and knitting) where, to participate, you make a project using a for-pay pattern from one of our participating designers. It starts at 9pmET on November 21 (Friday!), and runs until the end of 2025. #FastenOffYAL

I wrote 2,500 words. They were not good words. But they exist.

If I DO try to write again tomorrow (I have written one (1) short story since 2019 so I’m…..nervous) which short story should I go for:

It’s a crime that we can’t do polls on here

What. What if I tried writing again tomorrow?

Update: the interview went well I think. I MIGHT know something as early as next Friday.

I have a job interview tomorrow and I am terrified. Afraid I’ll blow the interview and not get it. Afraid I’ll get it and everything will change. Afraid of any outcome. Just afraid.

Guys. I could really use some good vibes tomorrow morning around 9:30 am central time.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.

Are you interested in the idea of being apart of a lit mag run by a queer author with a background of several anthologies who would very much like to have fun with other creatives putting out a cool transgressive collection of works?

I actually need cat food. The container is down to the last bits & we only have 1 wet food serving left for Piper. Bear requires a limited ingredient diet for his tummy. I've added the dry cat food to the wishlist linked below if anyone feels so compelled to help www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all. Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

There's certainly been lots of uncertainty in the world lately and I know that does not make art a priority, but I'm still here making things. These are a few of my one-of-a-kind raku vessels currently available and if you could help me find them a home with a like or share, I'd be grateful 🙏

If you order one of my sticker bundles on kofi THIS WEEKEND ONLY I will include a fat cat drawing for funsies. ko-fi.com/beverlyannem... #artsky #booksky 💙📚

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic. Keep creating. 💜

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Hi! I’m Lucy, a neurodivergent, gender-ambivalent former librarian and burned out arospec ace disaster. I used to dye yarn, but lost my dye space in April 2025, so while that’s on hiatus, I am selling handknits! You can see what’s available by visiting merryandmae.etsy.com

Didn’t folks say “identity politics” was the reason we weren’t winning

Exactly this. Especially this in the wake of Mamdani. Any politician that pivots or pivoted to a campaign of fascism should get the ending to their political career they deserve

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

I've said this several times on here, but the best thing you can do in your middle or upper school library is put up a white board with ice breakers and passive activities like word games, riddles, or puzzles.

This is 34! May it be better than 33 was.

bro biologists won't even agree on the definition of "alive" you think you can get them to back you on "two genders" lmao

Okay I want to start vending next year which means I need to figure out what people Actually Want that can be achievably knit without being too labor intensive/large enough to make it exorbitantly expensive.
