Realized last night that I would make an INCREDIBLE Bea Arthur drag king. What do I do with this information.

RIP Benjamin Franklin you would have loved girldick

Praying is funny though bc idk yall real names most times so I be going to Big Sandals with your @. Like “Lord I’m asking you to step in and intercede on MsGoodPussy93’s behalf as she goes in for the 3rd round of interviews. Bless her with this job lord and open more opportunities for her. Amen.”

The disappointment I felt, the first time I interacted with this product...

Sometimes I spontaneously re-remember that my best friend from college's dad has discovered new species of dinosaurs, and I have to sit and marvel at the universe for a bit.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Oh this sounds AMAZING

Trans people, I am once again asking you—nay, begging you—to share something good that is going on in your lives right now! I’ll start: I’m working on a new graphic novel and having a blast with the creative team we’ve assembled!

Happy International Lesbian Day to me and the rest of us!

Gay Studies, Queer History, Queer Theory (They/She)

If I had to pick a single genre, I'd call The Lion's Paw a ghost story (despite its MC being a sort of vampire), as it draws on a lot of tropes and themes and structuring from Gothic horror/melodrama (the queerest of genres!). #LGBTQWriteAThon

I just re-opened commission slots for personalised Tavern Signs 🍺 Check it out if you missed it last time sophiegrunnet.etsy.com/listing/1748... Line art format, $26, You gain all rights of the illustration, both for personal or commercial use.

The perils of heterosexuality to your creativity cannot be overstated

LETS GOOO

The main setting (I'd say about 60%?) of The Lion's Paw is 1922 in the lower Hudson Valley, with the rest in Rochester, NY. Also scenes from the 1840s-1850s & a LOT of references to other times/places my MC has lived in. #LGBTQWriteAThon #writesky #queerwriters #writers #lgbtqwriters

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

Babe, new way for Americans to avoid the metric system just dropped!

Beautiful mail from Hookland, thank you very much! 🌿 The music and lyrics by @taliskimberley.bsky.social, the artwork by @tomsbrown.bsky.social and the foreword by @hookland.bsky.social all sing! 🌀

To write words. Some words. Any words. (I made MASSIVE progress on my book in August and then September was like a brick wall of Things That Were Not Writing.) #LGBTQWriteAThon

Explaining to my wife that I cannot simply “read the books I’ve already bought and haven’t read” like some kind of peasant.

I'm usually not taken with the whole "we made you" talk, but trannies actually are the primary reason bsky found purchase in the cultural consciousness.

“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

Bring back art nouveau you cowards

"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 :

“Madeline why is all your stuff out on counters” so I remember it exists

I wrote a novella! It got published! It has lesbians! a.co/d/92fALsN #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters

RIP Patricia Routledge

#LGBTQWriteAThon, I'm pretty proud of much of my work. It's not perfect by any means. Full of flaws and more buuuut still pretty cool. In the spirit of Halloween, I'll promo The Shadow on the Wall. Found everywhere online you can get books. Free on my kofi and itch.io. linktr.ee/spookypickle

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

Late to the game again I'm Amber, an ace horror writer from central Maine. I'm very proud of my debut novel, Little White Flowers. Representation is subtle but includes 3 ace spectrum characters. Purchase links on my website amberhathaway.com, but also, check your local library. #LGBTQWriteAThon

I'm excited for this fictional nonfiction book from 1882. Have you forgotten that you are a dragon? How can you reclaim your draconic heritage? If that sounds good to you... please click "Notify me on launch"! #LGBTQWriteAThon #lgbtqwriters

#LGBTQWriteAThon 3. World Without Love is my dark fantasy series set in a post-apocalyptic world caused by Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. The first two books, This Is How Immortals Die and Garden of Rotten Roses, are already out, and I'm proud of them! linktr.ee/NicoleHidalg...
