If the world could stop being so fucking stupid so I can write dystopia that doesn't seem tame compared to our current bullshit, that would be great.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Black women have very nicely asked people not to co-opt "Say Her Name" for very good reason. I kinda like "Remember Renee." We know her name. Let's honor her memory and make sure we remember it and what it means.

All I'm saying is if you asked a monster fucker "But why?" they'd get excited to explain in extensive, often upsetting detail. It would be one of the best days of their lives. They would consider you a soul-bonded friend while you desperately searched for a conversational offramp.

finally back to working on this design thinking stickers and maybe tshirts?

Writers, share the FINAL sentence of your current #wip first three chapters 1. “Plus ça change.” 2. "Pick up those bags and move it.” He ordered, and only when Florence nodded did Mulcair obey 3. Clenching his fists, he hurried after Florence, letting her lead the way. #writingcommunity #writers

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈I dream of the day when the world can become a place where transgender people can live proudly and freely as themselves, and where they can love freely As a mascot, I see human love as beautiful and wonderful. I love you all today as well♡

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Anyone want to throw me like $15 on Paypal for a sketchy drawing (at about this level of completion) in this style? I'm stressing today and just wanted to get some takeout. Comment to grab, I'll draw just about any critter/monster/furry/humanoid. #commission

My good friend @itsjessandart.bsky.social is going through tough things, right now. That's why I had decided last month to donate 10% of my sales for December to support Jess. Because that's what friends do, in my opinion. These are the books and the link is in my bio.

I’M TOTALLY SHAMELESS! Today, I want to promote the two multi-genre disability fiction anthologies I co-edited with @taliacjohnson.bsky.social! Nothing Without Us (Prix Aurora Award finalist) and Nothing Without Us Too (Prix Aurora Award winner)! See my pinned post for where to buy! #SpoonieAuthChat

Is anyone putting together indie fantasy bundles? I'd like to get Shadecursed in one!

This is like a priest selling absolution. It's a fucking CULT, and they give themselves the right to rape,pillage,burn because GOD

Today's WIP research note During WW1, China supplied laborers to the allies, but in order to ship the Chinese Labour Corp to the warzone of Europe, they had to be shipped secretly across Canada via trains because their was a $500 HEAD TAX on immigration from China.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

I tend to write niche genre books.... So let's say this latest wip is a subtly queer romance told in the trenches of an alternated-reality od WW1. Yeah... this is gonna be a fun one to explain...

Another fascinating Fact I learned today, thanks to my WIP. In 1917, the U.S. War Industries Board asked women to stop buying corsets to free up metal for war production. There had already been a Crosby Bra, and the preservation of material evolved into the Fabric Bra of today.

Holy Crap, I've GOT IT I know where history diverged in my latest literary WIP In my Work-In-Progress, the Invasion of Tanga, AKA The BATTLE OF THE BEES was viewed as sorcery by the British, who in kind recruited sorcerers of their own to give them an edge.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly. Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer. Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status. This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Realistically? Build community networks. Research local charities. Learn low cost food recipes and make physical copies. See what services your library offers. Consider access to media, including physical. Find a rec center. Greet your neighbors, borrow things if you can. Learn local tenant laws.

Today's writing research... the WW1 German Canteen This is so Fascinating, how such simple items progressed. From aluminum covered in wool, to steel, wrapped in paper-yarn Technology and scarcity drove change in so many subtle ways we don't notice outright.

Hummingbirds in jewel-tones perfectly suited to low-G. Head size flowers in all the colors of the rainbow. Dragonflies like sequined darning needles above lily-pads gene-geneered to sparkle in the tiny artificial sun above. Everything is color, and movement, and brightness. Life among the Black.

I'm nonbinary, and just released my debut novel this week! It's about an adult woman who gets trapped in a video game with a sword who talks to her. It also has an entirely queer cast, and features at least one (1) big gay sword fight. It's also completely free! 8pr.itch.io/mrrd

Everybody recording and documenting ICE, DHS, and Police operations should have Press and Journalist patches whether or not they are official media. If these fake untrained government "agents" can wear patches, anyone can.

Tips for rapists since they are THE FUCKING PROBLEM & no one else.

There's something soothing about spending Sunday Morning sewing patches, listening to music, and hanging around my family.
