DID YOU KNOW? 🚨 Dystopian media often tells us that #disabled people’s lives matter less, and calls this pragmatism. “For the good of the many” often requires that disabled characters die and/or be left behind. That's one reason why we're #CrippingDystopia in the disability in dystopia anthology!

been drawing windows lately. as one does

This Is How You Lose The Time War

can this pls be a new meme format

Today my friends & I were harassed by a group of men for wearing masks. I must mask because of a messed up immune system + multiple conditions that make me especially vulnerable to infections. My friends mask to keep me safe, but now I feel so guilty for leaving the house & for endangering them.

DID YOU KNOW? Dystopian stories almost always play with disability and compulsory able-bodiedness, making it what I call a "crip genre". 🔥 That's why we're #CrippingDystopia in the upcoming disability in dytopia anthology! More info coming soon 😉 #booksky #writersky #disability

💯 If we're going to try to clock something as an AI tell, we need to be responsible and do some research before we start sending long-used rhetorical and poetic devices to the gallows 😅

Want to be a part of this sapphic anthology? Read the submissions guide here, and pay close attention! www.scyllapublishing.com/anthology We are ESPECIALLY looking for myths/goddesses/monsters outside of the most popular and well-known Greek and Roman pantheons ❤️‍🔥

actually, i could spell the word 'reccommendded'.... if it weren't for the curse

This Is How YOU Lose The Time War

People on booktok are being weird about disabled characters again so I've gone ahead and rounded up all the sexy love interests with traumatic backstories. I told you to behave and you didn't listen. No more PTSD for the children, sorry 😔

I would have killed for a knee brace like this when I was younger. And I still would 🗡

Question. Is Sapphic romantasy (wlw, definitely bi characters but only showing sex between women) something people want to read? It’s not my genre but I need to know what you all want.

I love seeing things like this 💖 Oftentimes I can't risk attending bookish events due to lack of community masking + the ongoing risk of covid19, so seeing a practice that is a net positive for the safety and accessibility for more people in our community is just brilliant 👏

The thing about being friends with so many smart and clever and thoughtful people is that I just want them to talk to me forever. I would pay them a subscription to have them just ramble on any given topic every day. I need them all to have podcasts

My academic book, ‘JK Rowling and the Anti-Trans Panic,’ is out September 2026. It is my analysis of the moral panic from Edinburgh, the ‘city of JK Rowling,’ where I study and work at JKR’s former university as it became a hub for anti-trans organizing … ohiostatepress.org/books/titles...

if you thought having a cat would mean you wouldn't have to explain, as if to a three year old child, why we cannot just go over and eat the neighbour's BBQ (and yes he does need to eat his own food), you would be wrong. the grumpy child in question:

when i dm you excitedly about having written the best essay title ever, you should never ask if I've made progress on the essay itself. that is besides the point and completely irrelevant

I have been thinking about fictional worlds and what godly beings could come of human evolution and invention, so here is my vision of a steampunky goddess who emerged during the Industrial Revolution 🔧⚙️ The question now becomes what story she might show up in 😁 #art #writersky

why would you us ai when you can have these ideas with your own brain

I am aware there are bigger problems in our world, but am I the only one who cares about products called chocolate "mousse" that are, in actuality, just aerated chocolate CUSTARD?? they must be stopped. end the lies

There is a special place in my heart where this radical catfish lives. I can't wait for readers to experience Cindy's story!!

So glad to have one of Bryn's stories in our anthology!! You are in for a TREAT 😍

how do I solicit badly drawn art of old wizards in pointy hats for my birthday?? and beyond?? my dream is 100 silly genderless sorcerers by the end of 2026

currently dying of migraine pain but consoled by ideas about a cripped vampire lesbian novella

Can I have a hot take? As a treat? I think the use of generative AI in writing reeks of insecurity. Labour aside, it feels like a way to avoid having to face your own creative output and the skill that may or may not show up. If you cannot show up for yourself, why should readers show up for you?

whoever has their hands on the Orb of Evil and is keeping this migraine in my skull, might I suggest giving me a break

Some indy research that I'll be sharing results of for everyone to see / use! This survey is on short fiction anthologies. You can take it even if you never read them, as there are Qs about that, too. The aim is to help anthologies shine, so please share it! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Do you like lesbians? Do you like books? Do you like lesbian books? Then you'll love the big lesbian bundle @elizamaresauthor.bsky.social put together for Lesbian Visibility Week, featuring Woman of Sorrow and Blood and 93 other sapphic books for just $40! itch.io/b/3635/lesbi...

"Somebody killed that guy," said the femme, fatally

We have curated an anthology that is so incredibly varied, and I couldn't be prouder! I can't wait for you to read it 💖

having story ideas and no drive to write them

@zoeticpress.bsky.social kindly published an early flash #fiction piece of mine — very creatively titled "Coffee Maker Piano" — and you can listen to it + several other neat stories here! 💖 youtu.be/xf_t0MRp_rw?... #writersky #writer

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

The road to an anthology is a long and winding one, filled with joy and...many many watery things. @ellatholmes.bsky.social took a step back and looked at the patterns that emerged, and what it is that writers were drawn to and/or explored in their work. www.scyllapublishing.com/specficsapph...

I've been working hard with @scyllapublishing.bsky.social and we're delighted to announce our title for the upcoming submission call for the sapphic goddesses and monsters anthology you've all been waiting for!! 🥳👏🎉 Please do share & comment if you were initially interested in this pitch.

hell yes 👀👀

It's a lovely day to play 🌷 (Yes, I will illustrate your pet like this for $30 AUD, and that money will be put towards uplifting writers with disability and chronic illness! 😊) #art #illustration

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

@slavagreenberg.bsky.social I love 'Animated Film and Disability: Cripping Spectatorship'! Apologies for the randomness of this, but is there any way I could possibly DM or email you with a question/request? 😊

the fact "Lesbian Vampire Killers" is about dudes killing lesbians who happen to be vampires and not about said lesbians who happen to be vampires absolutely killing it (or people) in literally any arena is one of the many pressing issues we have today

if i'd been to the moon i'd be cryptically cutting myself off mid sentence every now and again just for the giggles. oh yeah, when we were there, we saw.... well anyway

if i have to i will singlehandedly replace the socio-cultural image of "wizard" with rad old genderless dudes in funky socks
