I did not realize (remember?) that blocking doesn't unfollow (it rarely comes up for me) BUT this could be important. If you're following someone (say someone awful who just showed back up but went silent so you might not remember not unfollowing) and want to block them, make sure to unfollow.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Pie, of any variety. I said what I said.

Who’s ready for…. THE OFMD FANDOM CRAFT MARKET? Running March 5 through March 21, we’ll be raising money for the amazing @immcouncil.org!

There's an entire sub on Reddit full of people who will do free voice overs to expand their reels. You truly don't need that.

Note: the opposition *is winning*, the opposition has not won. If this ends with ICE still in existence and the killers and kidnappers evading justice, we have lost.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

i love the term "firmware". "not as hard as hardware, not as soft as software". goldilocks-ass ontology

#IndieInkAwards begins voting today!! ERRANT WINGS is admittedly incredibly tiny compared to other books nominated in its categories, but it would mean a lot if you voted for it, esp in Best Friendship since I still really like Asher, Raum, and Amy. Vote at: indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

Remember this big blog post I wrote much earlier in the year about aromantic queer histories? This is the article I was writing which prompted it: journal.fi/scf/article/...

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

Yup 😐

2026 is Pending 2025 did not shape up to be the year I thought it would. It's kind of hard not to focus on the downers: cancer diagnosis. Being released from the contract with my agent. So, because I need something to look forward to, this is my official announcement that I'll be posting my new…

It had been stressful enough getting here, I didn’t want to have to go anywhere else right now.

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

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!

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.
