shout out to the guys who stop at my table of books to say "too many words" or "I don't read", you make no sense to me

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

Day three of my re-posts for #PrideMonth #BookSky suggestions have a theme of chosen families. You cannot go wrong with @clh2oars.bsky.social or @stephengrahamking.bsky.social on this theme, trust me. 🏳️‍🌈📚💙 ♠️

if you like the ace romance and humour of someone you can build a nest in by john wiswell, the messy-queers-fighting-for-justice vibes of the kingston cycle by CL polk, and the worldbuilding of sky on fire by jenn lyons then you’re gonna love the dragon next door #booksky books2read.com/u/bpVEQ6

🪓 Suzie!! I can’t wait for Deltarune! #art

#LGBTQWriteAThon i wrote the 1st draft of We’ve Been Here Before for 2020’s NaNoWriMo, at my most depressed in a long time. the whole thing became a fantasy metaphor for depression and finding what you need to keep going there’s also lots of FFX, Chrono Trigger, and Legend of Zelda influence #pride

#LGBTQWriteAThon my goal this month is to finish a 16k first draft of a top secret hi-lo romance about being polyamorous and also what happens when your hero turns out to be a terrible person and also to sell lots of books in person #QueerWriters #Pride #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#LGBTQWriteAThon hey everyone, I’m kris and I write about monsters or queer teens falling in love or both. I have 4 books out that you can find here: linktr.ee/KAMielke for 5 years every prompt event I participate in has been with this WIP but i really want to have it done by DVPit! #WriteSky

Canadian settler-colonial “democracy” in action: remove Indigenous ministers that speak up about their treaty rights being trampled. For that Sol Mamakwa was asked by a white settler speaker to withdraw his comments and he refused. For that he was removed.

it's me, I'm wonderful

I don't wish to alarm you, but I think that deer is messed up. Terrible cryptids in your local forest? It's more likely than you think! Please help us fund a book of messed up deer stories- the deer will keep staring until we do as he bids. last few days! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer... 🦌👁️👁️

My fellow Cis-Hets, if you’re looking for a substantive way to help for Pride, consider that not all kids get the parents they deserve and many are turned out on the street when the come out. If you can swing it, consider donating to a local teen shelter to give kids a roof and the love they deserve

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

When politicians talk about keeping the children safe from "pornography", this is what they mean

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work! Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!

🎉 it's starting!!

Happy Pride! Queerfolk? Our stories matter. Our voices matter. Our history matters. You matter more. This month is often a long, long one. We’re often at out best when we’re a chorus; lift other voices, breathe when you have to, hold the note while others breathe, and flame on. #PriDEMONth 😈

this book has a sword-girl loveable rogue who inconveniently finds her adventures paused as she inherits her childhood home/farm and has to care for a baby dragon she's got to keep secret. but she's also next door to the woman she's loved since she was a teen #romancelandia books2read.com/u/bpVEQ6

I sustain myself on ratings and reviews, please perceive me

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

happy #Pride everyone! I am a queer author writing queer books for teens, and two of them are even available for free on itch so baby queers have as few barriers to access possible #LGBT #LGBTQBooks #QueerLit #Pride2025 #BookSky #WritingCommunity

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Meta is a defense contractor. "The company announced on Thursday that it will work with defense technology start-up Anduril to offer the U.S. military and its allies technology for soldiers involving augmented reality and artificial intelligence software."

LEVERAGE meeting 2008: “The trick is, slide the social critique in behind the fun. I don’t want to push.” ME IN EDITING IN 2024: “Do we have a take of the white techbro chasing our heroine with an ax screaming ‘THIS IS EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM!!’ where he looks directly into the camera? No? Damn.”

Time to post it again.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

If you use AI you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation.
