After the amazing Hands Off protests on April 5th are you hankering for more? Here are two upcoming national days of protest. Find or host an event near you. Keep up the pressure. #resist April 19: www.fiftyfifty.one May 1 and 3: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

alright squad it's time to teach bsky a thing I learned off Twitter before it stopped being Twitter how to (somewhat) AI-proof your ao3, a thread by chief 🧵 (repost to save a fanfic author etc etc)

Did you know in 2012 I wrote and illustrated a book? It's a 100% factual book about prehistoric vegetables, full of very accurate illustrations of these marvellous beasts. All of the book's profits go towards Lung Cancer research. Get your copy here: bit.ly/1JuQqgG

What's with all these scammy bookish accounts following me.

Thinking about this month's podcast, I've decided I'm going to do one on cosy horror - definition and some of my favourite examples. It's become fashionable to attack anything withy "cosy" in its genre name and some people think cosy horror especially doesn't actually exist.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

An administration full of mediocre white men so aggrieved they didn't get into the college they wanted to who think it's because they are white men but really it's because they are mediocre

Okay but can I still mod the undead out with skeevers?

If you'd like to read about a group of 5 women stealing a spaceship to save an Earth dying from climate change and a rampant misogynistic future that also has a pandemic that largely bypasses children in it, here is the book I wrote in 2019 that came out in April 2020: lrlam.co.uk/work-1/goldi...

It's a death camp. It's not a prison. It's not a facility. It's a death camp. They aren't going to send anyone home bc those people are already gone. They were sent there for that purpose. Just like the people sent to Auschwitz, to Dachau, to Buchenwald. America is sending people to death camps.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

I am convinced he’s sending innocent men to a death camp in El Salvador without due process is so he can send whoever he likes to prison without due process. If you think he’s stopping with immigrants you are very much mistaken.

#QueerPrompts The MC from WIP "Fimbulvinter's Fires" has a prison brand on his left chest over his heart, same as his lover who he escapes with (same as all people in that particular prison): an X. The LI of the story has delicate blue tattoos across their chest, like vines looping around.

you know what kind of horror stories i can really get behind? quid pro quo, but you don't know it's quid pro quo. like, this thing/person can heal you, but only cuz it took another's life without you knowing. those little shades of grey.

#IndieApril : traditionally the month where I make the <least> sales. Let's see if this month bucks the trend! I really want more people to know I write a lot of ace and aro rep + ND rep. It's just always there somewhere. If you want that, pls consider my stuff! My stuff: cmrosens-fiction.carrd.co

With The Horrors closing in around trans and queer authors, it's more important to celebrate their works than ever That's why we'll be doing a #QueerIndieSpotlight every weekday in June! The format will be similar to our Friday Indie Features and you can APPLY NOW: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
