Shoutout to the guy on the street corner raving "you're an abomination" at the intersection of the queer health clinic... in boot cut jeans with a 2006 blink-182 haircut. Glass houses, bro.

Any day that someone mentions me in the same breath as the effortlessly formidable @haileypiperfights.bsky.social it's a good day.

A vital and necessary anthology! AMPLITUDES is timely, at moments painfully so, rooted in persistent determination, and powerful in its hard-won perseverance. We have always been here and we will always be here, come flood and famine, beyond the atmosphere and in the heart of memory. A must read.

My story for this is so weird. 🫣

The best training I ever got was doing writing sprints with my mentor in high school. He'd assign me a prompt and time me; I'd just write. It became second nature to be limber enough to live in a new idea on the fly. And it broke me out of the habit of being precious about ideas.

Dom/sub is OVER. Start writing sub/sub. Or are you a spineless coward??

Stories are allowed to resolve with failure. Characters are allowed to do wrong. Bad consequences are better than convenient ones.

Need to make some fucked up art so I can at least filter out the people who think they can divine morality through somebody's creative output

I hope this cover art by yours truly may be the last piece of art you see this year 🍆🐙

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

My boy Bendi can write his ass off and this book is just fucking excellent. Its like a gay porno smashed into Warhammer 40k but if a demented Hozier was choreographing the sex scenes. If this sounds batshit in the best way—it absolutely is

Think Caligula plus this gif and more fluids, and everyone makes the worst possible choices, and you’ve got the vibe.
