You know what I love and admire about writers and artists? They dream something up and then find a way to show us that dream. We get to see a dream through a writer or artist’s eyes. How cool is that? Much cooler than, say, getting a computer to dream for you.

please continue to report the subreddit mentioned in this post. these assholes need to learn how to use a library and not steal.

Queer witchy novella out Monday

My author copies are here! It's hard to explain but... it's been years since I held something in my hands that had only my name on it 🥹

Hello hello, my story "Measurements Expressed as Units of Separation"—published in @neonhemlock.bsky.social's Crawling Moon anthology—is a Brave New Weird award winner! If you want to learn more about me, and how I rode a haunted elevator once (true story!) it's all in this incredibly fun Q&A. 👇

Actually, no. I needed the push a trans girl on Facebook gave me. I may very well have died otherwise. If cissies are annoyed by well informed, well meaning people gently informing them that a better life may be possible, that’s their affair

I know in times like these everyone says check on your friends but also? Share fun things with your friends. Share good news with your friends. Touch base, not just in a “hey are you okay” way, but also in a “hey I saw a corgi at the grocery store and thought of you” way.

this has been struggling to find momentum, so if you've been thinking of backing it, now's the time! and remember, you can get an ebook copy for the low price of $10CAD/$7USD

Canadians, Kobo has a sale on books by Canadian authors ahead of the holiday. Here's the landing page--I'll highlight some later. www.kobo.com/ca/en/p/july...

Not teaching kids that queerness exists doesn't prevent them from being queer. It will, however, hurt many of them and get some of them killed.

Hi Bluesky! 🦋👋 We're Foglifter Press & Journal, a San Francisco based small press and literary journal by and for queer writers. We accept #poetry, #nonfiction, #fiction, and hybrid works during our biannual submission periods starting in May and September—and visual #art & media all year round. 🌈

Bringing this back because the problem with catching up on old bills...is the newer ones. Essentially, I've upped the goal to reflect about a month and a half of bills, which would get us to not behind. gofund.me/1eb4c013

The assassination of a sitting congressperson and her husband should be headline news every day for the rest of this presidency. Every single fucking day.

Issue 25, the first issue of our THIRD year is coming soon! That means today is a great day to either a) subscribe or b) RENEW your subscription! store.smallwondersma...

Wait, it's almost that time?? Yes indeedy! THREE MORE DAYS and subs for our next themed issue will open up for July! Get those pieces written and ready!

Oh wow that's a deep cut. :D All the way back to 2013, this one. Definitely worth picking up, especially at that steep a discount. I'm in there under my dead name, so if you're looking for my piece, it's "The Many Lives of the Xun Long".

Thank you for your support! 💞 🌻 If you can, folks who wish to help can spread the word, buy copies of our issues/chapbooks, or make a gift to us and/or and the many literary mags and orgs affected by these cuts in solidarity. 🌱

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Doing a thing for a Pride thing

Oh hello series I will absolutely watch the shit out of.

I do not want sympathy, I want revenge

We're only $115 away from $3500???? When did that happen? That's only, like, four or five more backers. 😳

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. Accountability now. Open link next skeet. "It's a killing field," one soldier said....no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire w/ machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. Then.. the shooting stops, they can approach. Our form of communication is gunfire."

It’s Shut The Fuck Up Friday. The feds are swarming LA right now. Doorknocks, arrests, warrants, grand juries. It’s getting hot & temps will continue to rise as it usually does in the summer. Important thread here:

Once the question of “what qualifies someone as a citizen“ has been put into legal play, even born citizens are not secure. Did you not read the fucking poem.

Btw, I went on IG live to commemorate the first week of the campaign (I hate filming myself) so I deserve applause. 😌

Just a reminder that if you’re an author and you’re feeling a certain way about the Mahmoud decision, there’s a place for you: www.authorsagainstbookbans.com

Never going to stop shouting about this. You need to buy trans books now. Especially in hardcopy or DRM free formats. Don't say "it'll never happen." Look around. It's already happening.

I think some of this is backlash. Certain genres, types of stories, etc, are frequently given the "why would you write bad things happening to someone, that's evil" like reading it will corrupt you. And eventually people snap from that and start judging the lifelong cozies in return. It's a cycle.

What you have to understand is that book bans are a *classic* case of survivorship bias. Some survive, yes. But only if they're lucky OR prepared. If all of the copies of a book are destroyed, it. is. gone. And you won't know what you've lost. It'll be absent.

Today is a shit day to try and promote things, but if you want a fun distraction, go for something fiercely anti-colonial. Seventhblade by Tonia Laird is an Indigenous fantasy full of revenge and adventure. Out now from ECW Press. bookjockeyalex.com/2025/06/27/r...

What is happening in Gaza is a systematic genocide that no one dares to call by its name. The Israeli army is not only starving the population to death but openly admitting to carrying out orders to shoot unarmed civilians seeking humanitarian aid distributed in the name of American aid centers!

So glad I woke up to see this. Signed. Immediately and without hesitation. ‘Against AI: An Open Letter From Writers to Publishers’ To add your name, please read and sign here: lithub.com/against-ai-a...

This is so true. 99% of book bans have the intended effect: you never hear about those books again. The 1% of banned books that become infamous bestsellers elsewhere are not the norm.

If one more person comments ‘embrace it or get left behind’ about gen AI in my comments, I will lose my mind. NO. No, I will not ‘embrace’ the planet killing theft machine producing lazy, ugly, useless slop. 1/2

pls contribute if you can! EL has meant a great deal to me for a long time, but when they took a stand for trans authors instead of compromising for NEA funding, I fell in love all over again. They publish some of the best, most diverse stories out there rn. Let's help keep them strong ⚡️🦇

It's not even simply "working for DOGE", it's personally writing the "munching" code at the VA that led to layoffs of countless people, and only remarking on that like "oops, mistakes were made!" And if he wants to *write* an honest AI-free story I have no problem. But he wanted to (1/2)

imagine being a writer of science fiction so poor at extrapolation that you "didn't expect" this incredibly obvious outcome

The first commissioned stories for Wrath Month have arrived, and they’re rocking our world. 🤘 🌳 “This is Not a Joyful Song” by @gabbyharry.bsky.social 📵 “In These Uncertain Times” by @mikebrooks668.bsky.social 🧍‍♀️“Sink Ur Teeth Into” by @thedescenters.bsky.social & @coreyjwhite.com

He didn't expect helping to cut people off from benefits would upset people in a writing community...a community that gets paid basically nothing on a good day. I will never work with this man. If I find out he's involved in an SFFH project I am in, I will just bow out.

Last 4 days of the sale! I could very much do with some sales of the subscriptions -- got bills coming up they help with. At just $9 USD for the annual Hulderotica subscription, you're getting 12 published stories immediately, with new romance/erotica delivered right to your inbox every two weeks.

there's only so much space in the hague so i propose also bringing in nuremberg

New things slowly making their way onto the Huldra House website. Including maybe some late night news for those curious what Tuesday's Hulderotica might entail... A pan POV WLW romance, featuring Anat: a former war goddess atoning for spilled oceans of blood. www.huldrahouse.com/paying-her-p...
