Anyone out there that would send an impoverished person who never gets to leave the house $150 to go to a really neat event & 60 to get some food today without tapping into rent funds we're raising? PayPal.me/WyldWish Cash.app/$WishMage Venmo.com/u/WishMage

Guys my Lesbian doppelganger sex story is in this. I'm screaming because this is probably the horniest thing I've ever written and I was hiding. Thank you for including me Ryka and Charles. 🖤🙏🏽 A lot of my fave here as well.

Ahhhhh!!! i'm so deeply thankful "A Book is Map, a Bed is a Country" can share a space with so many of my queer writer heroes 😭many of y'all helped me believe I could write a story like this. Ahhhh I'm sooo happy and this is the most beautiful cover I wanna cry looking at it. Thank y'all so much!! 💖

Look look look!! I'm editing with Charles this year!! Send us your best queer speculative stories that were published in 2025! Very excited about this :)

Yay!!! These stories dazzled, horrified, fascinated, filled me with hope. How diminished this the world would be without queer voices, queer stories, queer magic and prophecy and brilliance!

Anyway, the important thing is, it is a beautiful day to stay indoors and smugly read a novella about a rescue mission in a horribly dangerous magical forest that you don't have to enter! 🦊🦄🍎🌲 us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Congrats to @angelvleal.bsky.social and @mruthrobinson.bsky.social for being in We're Here: The Best Queer Speculative Fiction 2024! Go read “A Book Is a Map, a Bed Is a Country” and “Linden Honey, Blackcurrant Wine”, they're beautiful stories—frankly the entire TOC is full of brilliant writers!

If you follow me because you find me interesting for whatever reason & you have some extra change, consider donating to one of the mutual aid seekers I boost on my page, because that's why I boost them.

Today, in honor of Pride Month, we will be donating 10% of sales to The Trevor Project!

This kind of anti-Indigenous racism amounts to genocide and it is being carried out by settler governments in so many places.

DL on this anthology has been extended to June 30th:

I would love it if people pre-ordered SHACKLES AND SHARDS: Shattered A woman w dissociative identity disorder claims her identity while magic returns to the land & conservatives try to destroy democracy. Unlike many of books w DID rep, the author—me!—also has DID. dax.ink/shackles 🌈📚🪐

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.

The GOP passed a budget in the middle of the night to turn America into a nation of roving masked thugs and concentration camps run by authoritarian billionaires. This morning on the Sunday news shows, Democrats prefer to spend their on-camera time drawing lines in the sand. For Mamdani.

Inventer of the GIF going to the Irish bar: could I get pint of Juinness please?

well put

Pardon my reposting. I be trying to sell my book about dragging empire.

So lightning discharging above a thunderstorm cloud layer (positive charge dispersing upward) looks a little ... different. Also terrifying. Beautiful. But terrifying. :/ youtu.be/RETrCArJobo?...

Please help if you can. I need to give my share of the rent by the 30th (not the 1st, apologies). Clock is ticking so please, please help.

I would appear to have won the European Science Fiction Society Hall of Fame award for Best Author I, hum, am going to need a minute and possibly a drastic reassessment of my self image (Thx @effjayem.bsky.social for tagging me)

Just two more days until Hulderotica #13: Paying her Penance is out: A pan POV WLW romance, featuring Anat: a former war goddess atoning for spilled oceans of blood. Want a copy delivered straight to your inbox come Tuesday? Subscriptions are still on sale! www.huldrahouse.com/shop/subscri...

It occurs to me that were Paying her Penance coming out from, say, Harlequin's Love Inspired line, it would almost certainly be titled The Abbess and the Angel. Noting that it would NEVER be published so, because a bunch of it is this Make Some Noise interaction: www.tiktok.com/@gamechanger...

If you like murderbot, read this! Nhi would like to be left alone to read her books and cultivate. Sadly she has to deal with people--even worse, said people are her peers and *someone* will have to take charge before everyone get themselves killed. Nhi: I don't want to but I've got this

We're already at 66% of the way to getting a new laptop for my Clarion West workshopping! ko-fi.com/soniasulaima...

OH GET MY BOOK CHEAP ON KOBO! Hi Canadians, Countess is now $3.99 CAD. That is the cheapest price I've seen. Also US friends I'm seeing that it's $3.99 USD in the US store right now too. Nebula, Aurora and Locus nommed! www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/... www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Just a day and a half left on this amazing bundle! I’m having trouble putting into words how happy I am about all the amazing support, so I’ll say this: every cent I’ve received from this is going to help me move to a safer place and ideally get life saving surgery, so thank you 💛💛💛💛 itch.io/b/3065

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

Ignore the stereotypes. Ignore every quisling who whines that our beautiful, justified rage goes "too far." Historically, queers love to fight. With a whole arsenal of tactics. And we're good at it.

Literally life changing money, y’all. Just a bit over a day left and it’s blown up so much more than anyone expected. Thank you all!!

It is entirely possible there's no "and" at the beginning of that line of Noyes's poem, it's just how it lives in my memory.

YELLING STILL WORKS

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Always I am reminded of "The Highwayman" on seeing moonrise: "And the moon was a ghostly galleon..." (the rest of the line seems inappropriate on a clear night). A waxing crescent my phone camera cannot do justice to. But a beautiful moon regardless.

Seems an entirely fair obit. A life's choices have consequences. And it's the ones left behind who'll tell of how we moved through the world. Also, this is just exceedingly well written.
