Bring back art nouveau you cowards

“Haven’t you anyone to mourn, old friend?” He shrugged. In the quick-moving fall dark, all she could see of him was the burning end of his cigarette. “Probably. One of the benefits of having too many lives to remember is that whoever I’ve lost is well and truly lost.” #LGBTQWriteAThon

"it can't be two o'clock already"

Not a productive week at ALL; emotionally dead at the beginning, busy AF with work at the end, weekend crammed full of socializing. But I'm doing this #LGBTQWriteAThon, that at least counts for something!

I just finished reading this book last night and it's absolutely DIVINE. Spooky, mysterious, SO romantic, gorgeous to look at!!!! A perfect ghost story for the season. I don't know how Theo does it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're still trying to raise $246 this year to cover expenses, if you're feeling generous. We'll never charge a submission fee, and we pay our writers. Your help will also ensure that we can bring on a guest editor in the new year, to avoid that whole 'monolithic voice' business 💛🖤 Thank you. 🐝

And so, it's done. I walked out of the office for the last time today, due to my layoff. I'm a little less scared than I would have been thanks to all of y'all who enjoy my work. If you'd like to support me, please buy a copy of my trans magical girl work, and get ready for the incoming sequel.

but were there not already 'settlers' there--not to mention the 'Indians' referenced @deborahhamer.bsky.social 🤣 (and 'New York' became 'New Orange' during the Third Anglo-Dutch War @jorisvdt.bsky.social @bramvanleuveren.bsky.social @henklooijesteijn.bsky.social )

#SFFChat Day 1: Introduce yourself I'm Steve! I write horror, fantasy, and generally weird things. I'm also about to defend my PhD thesis on marginalized reclamations of monster figures, so I'm deep in this spooky shit. D :

I don't have anything published to promote but something I'm proud of is how I've been getting words down lately even though everything is so...*gestures* anyone who manages to write at the moment, no matter now little, should be proud and if you can't, rest & refill the well #LGBTQWriteAThon 1/2

My 1941 first edition of 'Haunted England', the seminal work on English ghostlore by Christina Hole. I've recently used a number of its extraordinary, almost abstract, illustrations by John Farleigh for #PhantomsFriday and no doubt will continue to do so. #BookologyThursday #BookChatWeekly #folklore

As the first female Archbishop of Canterbury is appointed, it’s worth remembering that dissenting women were preaching to mixed sex congregations in London as early as 1645. My book Voices of Thunder has a whole section on 17th-century “she-preachers” #earlymodern

Yeah. It's exhausting that platforms keep doing this, building themselves on trans people, sex workers, Black people, and then turning on them. It's unnecessary and cruel and causes real and non-virtual harm. I don't know where we go if they keep doubling down on this, but...

Writing things is hard right now but gdi I am doing it ANYWAY.

He will tell his tale…

H"CK YEAH POTATOES!!!!!!

So, we first saw the truck you see second in this lineup (I got the pictures after we got gas and returned that direction), and then the other truck was revealed, and I was so glad I got a second shot at taking this picture XD "I want to rent the Daddy Issues truck!"

Why do I even bother.

Paperback of Trans and Genderqueer Subjects is apparently on sale #MedievalSky www.routledge.com/Trans-and-Ge...

All of the above.

Well that's a mood.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Important reminder

hello #LGBTQWriteAThon 🎃 I'm arlen and I write YA paranormal, fantasy & horror 😈 my goal this month is to write as much as I can of Creek WIP, my YA horror whodunit, especially since the events of the story build up to a very special Halloween party 🔪 & to hype up my fellow writers, of course 🎉

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

*waves* I'm Ethan, I write queer speculative fiction (genre who?). My goal this month is to finish the next few chapters of my WIP "The Lion's Paw", about an immortal disaster bisexual in the early 1920s trying and failing to run from her past. #writesky #queerwriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

Because the Deaf community is extremely funny politicians definitely cannot count on a loving and complimentary sign name like this one—it really demonstrates people’s genuine enthusiasm

Ooh, that's something to chew on. People are going to be actively looking for weird, gnarly, unpredictable.

Author friends, let Biblioasis know about your recent publications. They're starting to work on the 2025 Best Canadian Series, which are always fabulous books.

I've got Halloween items back in stock! PLUS new earrings, opossum stickers and snail pins! www.etsy.com/shop/Jessica...

Got one bite! 🥹💜

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/ www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

Today is Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada: read this by Concordia PhD student Wade Paul to understand the ongoing harms the settler state has perpetrated against Indigenous people. #EveryChildMatters #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay theconversation.com/reconciliati...

Today is an "earplugs under headphones" kinda office day.

Since there seems to be some confusion on the topic i made this handy diagram when asking "is this sapphic"

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Anyway, can we start a recommendation list of media with butch trans women? As a big reader of trans lesbian lit I've found some (not enough, but some), and I think it's important to highlight the good as well as complain about the bad. I'll start, but please do feel free to add on! #samreads
