KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.

It should be easy to figure out which character said this #bookquote just by looking at the font. Or by guessing who is the only one old enough to know what a mortgage is. #ReimaginingPeterPan #IndieFantasy #IndieReader #Hook #ObviouslyItIsHook

This #CharacterBio is for Rowan. He has no canon counterpart for me to put in parentheses, but if he did, it wouldn't be from the hero's side. 🌟 Best friend turned bully 🌟 "Nice guy" attitude 🌟 Profoundly petty #Reven #IndieFantasy #FairytaleRetelling

Another #bookquotes post for REVEN. #IndieReaders

The software I use to write depends on where I am at in the process: 📑Scrivener (plotting/worldbuilding) 📃MSWord (drafting/editing) 📲Notes app on my phone (random ideas I have at midnight when I am unsuccessfully trying to fall asleep)

This #CharacterBio post is for Nibs, the last of the current members of Peter's little family. I may post bios of the former members in the future. 🌟 The medic 🌟 Accident-prone 🌟 The "I told you so" guy #Reven #IndieYA #PeterPanRetelling

I'm pretty sure this is my longest #bookquotes post yet. #IndieReaders #ReimaginingPeterPan #Reven

So everyone is obsessing over #Wicked like it is 2005, and amid the nostalgia bomb I can't stop thinking about WHY this particular fairytale retelling has stood the test of time when so many others have faded out of memory. And I think it has to do with how the story reacts to its source material.

A two-for-one #CharacterBio post, this time for the Twins: 🌟 The muscle 🌟Grumpy/sunshine duo 🌟Never more than ten feet apart #FairytaleRetelling #PeterPan #IndieFantasy

This #bookquotes post is actually from Tink (the last character bio I posted). I didn't plan for the quote and trope post schedules to sync up like that, but I thought it was a fun coincidence. #IndiePublishing #FairytaleRetelling #YAFantasy #PeterPan #Bookstagram #Booksky

A #tropes post for Tink this time: 🌟 The techie 🌟 Trust issues 🌟 Unrequited love #IndiePublishing #FairytaleRetelling #PeterPan #YAFantasy #Bookstagram #Booksky

I am begging SFF folk to simply look into whether they themselves might be on the aroace spectrum and to write / shop / market accordingly, instead of expressing extreme disgust for books which feature sex, romance, or both.

Another #bookquotes post for REVEN, just because I like them. #IndiePublishing #FairytaleRetelling #PeterPan #YAFantasy #Bookstagram #Booksky

Another #tropes post for Reven. This time it's Hook: 🌟Obsessive rival 🌟Lives for revenge 🌟Serial dine-and-dasher #IndiePublishing #FairytaleRetelling #PeterPan #YAFantasy #Bookstagram #Booksky

I'm doing some #tropes posts for Reven. Next up is Peter: 🌟Main character syndrome 🌟Lives for his family 🌟Screw the rules, I have magic #IndiePublishing #FairytaleRetelling #PeterPan #YAFantasy #Bookstagram #Booksky

I'm finally doing some #tropes posts for Reven. I'm starting off with our protagonist, Wendi. 🌟The mom friend 🌟Anxiety disorder 🌟Cannot afford therapy #IndiePublishing #FairytaleRetelling #PeterPan #YAFantasy #Bookstagram #Booksky

My cursed video game experience: Play a game for 40 hours. Watch your console spontaneously die in your hands. Start the game over on Steam. Play 99% of the way through the game… Watch the corrupted game files make the last level unplayable. 😭

Food banks have already been well past capacity since the start of 2025. The infrastructure we have absolutely cannot support the enormous number of people who are about to lose access. Please if you can, find your local food bank and give today.

It's the last day of #AceWeek, so I'm putting up one final #bookquotes post for REVEN, my YA steampunk fantasy starring an ace/aro protagonist. #booksky #booktober #selfpublishing

Another day, another #bookquotes post for #Aceweek to promote my fantasy novel REVEN. #booksky #booktober #selfpublishing

It's Day Number 5 of #Aceweek, so I'm making yet another #bookquotes post for REVEN, a queer retelling of Peter Pan starring ace/aro Wendi. #booksky #booktober #selfpublishing

Halfway through the #Aceweek campaign! REVEN is a steampunk YA fantasy with an ace/aro protagonist. There is no spice, but there is a lot of drama. #bookquotes #booksky #booktober #selfpublishing

A third #bookquotes post for my #Aceweek campaign for REVEN, a steampunk Peter Pan retelling with an ace/aro protagonist. #booktober #booksky #selfpublishing

Another #bookquotes post for REVEN for #AceWeek. #booksky #booktober #selfpublishing

In honor of #AceWeek, I'm kicking off my marketing campaign for my fantasy book REVEN, which stars an ace/aro protagonist. Let's start off with an old-fashioned #bookquotes post, shall we? #booktober #booksky #selfpublishing #yafantasy

#TBBChat If you asked Wendi her favorite food, her official answer would be her mother’s homemade soup, full of nutritious vegetables and protein. But really, the answer is her nanna’s sugar biscuits. Wendi will brawl strangers in a dark alley for those biscuits.

The cats have good taste. You all really should be reading Blackblood; it’s a fun ride. #booksky

Cannot be stressed enough that very few people "demonize" ICE as much as factually describe what their agents do on a daily basis. I'm sorry if you're upset that "masked men roll up in unmarked vans and kidnap people at gunpoint to ship them off to random foreign countries" sounds, you know, scary.

1000% Democratic politicians need to just keep drawing the through line over and over. "There are tariffs because Trump is scared of everyone who isn't white, and that's why your farm is going to go under. ICE killed off this Hyundai plant, and that's why you don't have a job."

Seriously? Out of all the #autism conspiracy theories #RFKJr could have dredged up for his report, he picked the Tylenol one? With half a year of hype, I expected more creativity. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group”

In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.

I’m reading this now. It’s fascinating to see the parallels between LGBT activism today and social movements from over a century ago.

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right. This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.

#SaveSpeech Updated list of major US bills ya'll need to yell at your congressmen about, w/ talking points. Tell em to say NO to: SCREEN ACT KOSA IODA www.congress.gov/members/find... CALL EM. MAIL EM. EMAIL EM. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

I want a Space Jam Air Bud crossover where Michael Jordan has to face his toughest opponent yet: a golden retriever

"This narrative of human suffering, set in 2025, is filled with tears and resilience. It is a story of women. It is our story. It could very well be your story too." A stunning essay from Rümeysa Öztürk on the 45 days she spent in an ICE detention center just for speaking her mind

It’s worth mentioning that #COVID can trigger changes to mitochondria that mirror those found in #autisticfatigue studies. Basically some portions of the ATP creation process break down, forcing the mitochondria into a permanent ‘emergency’ state to compensate.

A refreshing perspective. I feel bad for the students who pay all this tuition only to be bait-and-switched into unpaid beta testing for generative AI startups.

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures

I find it ironic that the same crowd that denies #medicalsexism and #medicclracism exist subsequently developed an #LLM program that can objectively demonstrate how often those biases impact healthcare outcomes.

This speech is what the fuck I'm talking about. Read it to feel like you could run through a motherfucking wall.

I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike. Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

For the July/August issue of @motherjones.com, I dived into Elon Musk's relationship with Aspie supremacy and how it's promoted online. This ideology, coined by the late autistic blogger Mel Baggs, also dehumanizes autistic people with high support needs. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

you’re laughing? the leopards have resorted to cannibalism and you’re LAUGHING?

The first person to tell me I 'must be using AI because there are em dashes in my books' is going to get a lecture on punctuation and house style, followed by a practical demonstration of the word 'eviscerate'.
