OK, we’re in desperation times yet again 😩 Finances are tight, after doing so well at getting out of the hole. But things went quiet and I need to pull myself out again So if you like LGBTQ+ inclusive comics, novels, romances etc, please grab something from my site! bit.ly/3P6TC9E

ANNOUNCEMENT🎺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Introducing our bona new quarterly literary magazine: FANTABULOSA! Pushing the boundaries of bold, authentic, QUEER storytelling. Bringing you stories of the uncanny, the dangerous and the fantastical. & thanks to our brilliant #WrathMonth backers, we're fully funded for 2026 🤘

It's a lovely morning on the internet and you are a horrible queer! Drop your links to queer books! Yours, someone else's, tradpub, indie, share ALL THE QUEER BOOKS to make a fash shit themselves. Go!!!

For the afternoon book crowd. There's a new Inheritance book! I repeat, A NEW INHERITANCE BOOK.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

Moksha is doing scheduled maintenance. Obviously that's our preferred method for receiving subs to the @apexmag.bsky.social flash contest, but if you need to get your story in and the portal is still closed, you can email me at [email protected] with your story.

(6) Protests went on from 29th to 30th, and some mercs/provocators burned down bus stations. Not only that, there are broadcasts to attack Chindos(Chinese Indonesians) and repeat the 98 tragedy. This is such a heinous tactic to exploit our collective trauma, tho thankfully most people called it out.

(5) The ojol, Affan Kurniawan, didn't survive. He was just trying to cross the road. The masses were panicking because of the water canon and the tear gas. He was just there DOING HIS JOB. He wasn't the only one mowed down btw, tho thankfully the other one survived.

(4) On the night of 28 August 2025. An ojol (rideshare motorcycle driver) was delivering food. He was just doing his job. Then the police, in tactical vehicle, MOWED HIM DOWN. it WASNT an accident. there are videos going around from inside the car saying 'just hit him'. (GRAPHIC VIDEO BTW)

(3) Then they announced that the MPs are given Rp 50 mil/month pocket money in addition to their salary. Minimum wage in Jakarta is Rp 5mil/month, and in some places it can go as low as Rp 2.1 mil/month. People were rightfully angry, and protests broke out

(2) Honestly the rage has been building ever since they made a human rights violator a president. Raised taxes, cutting healthcare & teachers' wages, destroying Raja Ampat & the Indigenous people there in favor of nickel mining. Also the politicans mocked us while they're draining us.

(1)🚨ALL EYES ON INDONESIA🚨 It's 0.41. A.M. Local time. First they cut off the power in Kwitang & Senen. Then the snipers came. And now they're using live bullets. Just 3 days ago the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission silenced the journalists to not broadcast the protests.

This still feels absolutely surreal, but the announcement is out so I can officially yell about it! My debut novel Cavern F(r)iend will be published by @wednesdaybooks.bsky.social in Winter 2027! Thanks to my agent @ericshowers.bsky.social and my editor Hannah Pierdolla!💜

I spent way too long on this, but I love how it came out. Would appreciate seeing it get some love. 🥹 Three kobolds in a trench coat is my favorite D&D troupe. #kobolds #dndart #pathfinderart

I recently found had more time on my hands than I had planned. I'm an ESL teacher and many students were on vacation. Don't get me wrong, time is a wonderful thing to have as a writer, but as the saying goes, time is money. I'd appreciate some likes and reposts to help me out. 🧵

I think it's important to never lose sight of the fact that there is nothing organic about the anti-trans legislation. It's all a part of a large pys-op by Christian Nationalist groups. There was actually backlash to early anti-trans bills🧵 wherethereissmoke.substack.com/p/how-big-mo...
