I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

I've opened up comms again!!! Shares are appreciated ☺ vgen.co/KefliBunni #art #commissions #vgen

#WIPSnips Seth's had a long day and just wants an apple cider. Adding in his wanted poster just for fun >.>~

If you see this, share a skeleton(s).

I'm so honored to share that TWO of my book covers are in the GCLS Tee Corinne finals! Madison Brake's art is phenomenal and absolutely perfect for these books. If you have a moment, please look through the finalists and cast a vote! tinyurl.com/5c5knwtv #sapphicromance #GCLS #sapphicfantasy

This is as romantic a painting as I ever get. Done *checks date* 5 fucking years ago 💀

👀👀👀 (I LOVE this one y'all) #WIPSnips #WritingPrompt

#WIPSnips Grilled learning about how the Shallot's great-grandmother Yamma bought the Good Thyme Inn from the town's baron (who, after a devastating war, was severely in debt and had contracted a tapeworm that made him hunger constantly)

🌈📚 Lately, I'm 100% focused on finishing my Polish novel but I hope I'll soon manage to take part in the #WIPSnips more often 😀 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Had to repost. Dutch Typo 🫣 Been too long! Back to Isaac and Skye today. This #WIPSnips comes from one of my favourite scenes in the book. On a trade post, they encounter a couple from Terra, Isaac's destroyed home world. They're great side characters (and a nod to my Dutch background)

#WIPSnips 22. "Money" Betting is always a risky thing, especially when you bet with 'gold'! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WIPSnips “money” Inviting the frenemy & friends to an end-of-year ball is definitely off the table. But they might just crash it anyway… 💃🪩 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors

No money, just scrip, being a company town and all. From Tyton, out this fall #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #lesfic #queerlit

#WIPSnips - February 22 *money* #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #sapphic #butchfemme

#WIPSnips There must be talk of “money”, and of debt, when Blake & Sergei meet Mammon, CFO, Lord of Greed, and Wolf of Wealth. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Even though wealth is quite important in my Atlantis WIP, I never actually use the word "money." So today we're gonna do another snip from my Snow Queen WIP. This is part of a sequence in which Kai is going through a dark transformation.

From The Provincial Elf, Lobikno's POV. Had to substitute "coin" for money to avoid spoilers. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #romantasy

#WIPSnips #Fantasy Chose a longer snip today. Bad guy is held at knifepoint and gives his motivation. MC deals with ennui by diving into his work. Bad guy does it by trying to help a monarchy restoration movement so he can feel special.

#WIPsnips “money” Eilidh is book shopping with two hot dudes who would (and do) kill for her, and spending her father’s money. What more could she ask for? Add BORN ANEW IN BLOOD on Goodreads! www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

Some illegal activity might be at play here... #WIPSnips

#WIPSnips 2/22 Skipped yesterday because I couldn't settle on a snippet. Today is one I've shared before. Entirely vibes, but definitely gets the currency thing across.

#QueerPrompts I've already talked about Beanie so I'll mention Boomer, Capt Hook's young protégé. Genderfluid, Boomer is the ships young explosives expert (who blew off their pinky & ring finger when learning). Hook is grooming them to be captain sone day. They're gaining some of Hook's cockiness,

“But think about the money, the fame, the girls, Henry. The girls.” Henry smirked. “You obviously don’t know anything about me, my friend.” “Boys, then,” the figure corrected itself. “Strike two.” The figure was silent for a moment. “I’m ace. No interest in sex or love. I’m fine on my own.”

#pretendpanel 2/22 Part of me says Gwen. I mean, living forever, supernatural powers, it's all cool. But there's her baggage...she's kind of a downer. Hook, on the other hand is cool af, has swagger, is a hit with the ladies, and she not at all even remotely burdened by part mistakes. 🙄😆

#pretendpanel I mean... I'd kinda love to be Peregrine, because who wouldn't want to be an interdimensional shape-shifting time traveller?! Broader than that... kinda wouldn't mind being either of my sapphic pirate romantasy main characters... They're both way braver and cooler than me! 💜

#PretendPanel 22. Congrats on attending an actual panel! Me? Well, pretty obvious answer, perhaps, but Ashrah x) She's my demonic counterpart! Here's what an old friend said a while ago:

#pretendpanel - February 22nd: Which of your characters would you be? Probably Kelly Armstrong from my Whimsical Dreams romantic suspense series. Hello? Femme, former CIA and Krav Maga expert? That is one badass bitch! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #sapphic #butchfemme

Even though I've spent time actually playing Cece before, I don't think she's really much like me. 😅 Of all the ones I've worked on so far, I think I'd be Asho. I think the way she looks our for Cece while also not putting up with her nonsense is something I can relate to. #PretendPanel

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity Don’t have “whim” but Blake was trying to be helpful finding a new place for Laz to rest in peace.

Was just reminded of this idea for custom booty shorts I had a few years ago. I amuse myself sometimes. 😆
