Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

Hey #Reno #Nevada, don't forget your favorite author's favorite #author will be at #Barnes&Noble on the 22nd from 1-4PM to sign both Something So Lovely and Something So Vicious! #booksigning #indieauthor #lgbt #trans #visibility #support #localartist #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading

Exactly this.

This is next level! 💥

Al Green had the right take on that speech. Nobody should be pretending that any of this shit is normal.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

So... we all agree that they only called them "wellness farms" for people with ADHD/on SSRIs because "concentration camp" was already taken... right? And they're not stopping at medicated people, that's just the most easily accessible list for them to pull from. It'll be trans next, watch.

Well said!

This is great, but e can do better. Instead of throwing tea in the harbor, let's throw the stock market in instead... followed by the people who own them >:)

GUYS. GUYS. LOOK WHAT I JUST CAUGHT IN THE WILD. IM SOBBING.

WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME VOLTAIRE HAD A WHOLE JARETH APOLOGIST ALBUM *WITH* A COVER OF AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN?! I'm sobbing at the bus station, oh no. Oh noooooo. I feel... deep fantasy story ideas coming on. Send help.

I just want to say that I'm so thankful for this #writingcommunity and how supportive everyone has been. I'm so grateful to know so many of you, and I hope we all meet our own visions of success with our work <3 You're all fantastic people! #amwriting #amquerying #amediting and #litagent peeps rock!

Today, one of the agents I am most excited about will ask for a full and love it so much they will offer representation by Friday. And I'm such a good writer that I'll have my advance from PRH (or Little, Brown... not picky...) by my birthday in October. ✨️Manifesting✨️

Oh so this was the red wave y’all were talking about

Catherine and her cat from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

I was just informed by a lovely customer that receiving and unboxing our sapphic pirate bundle involves a lot of “gay squealing.” If that is of interest to you.

Blade Broken released today! This is a book that I'm very proud of overall, and I'm so grateful to everyone who has supported me. 💙📚 🌈🚀💫 📚🌎 📢📚 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ 🪐📚 books2read.com/u/mK8lN9 ko-fi.com/s/7dcadecf5b rarirajeshniranjan.itch.io/blade-broken... Keep buying!

Today has been a really... really rough day. I'm so tired.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

#amwriting #writercommunity That feeling when you're including a historical building in your book and end up finding recent renovation plans including a fully updated and labelled floorplan for free 😭 I'm in tears, I'm so happy about this, there's even pictures of the interior and everything!!!

MY BRAIN: What if we stayed up and wrote all night like we used to, that was the best you ever were, you can get it back with my help MY BODY: If you are not under a blanket with the lights out before 9PM I will give you eight simultaneous intracranial aneurysms

Kids should never be treated like "a coat"...you take it off the coat rack when you feel like it when you're "ready" to wear it Having kids IS NOT a part-time or seasonal "job", it's a life-long & full-time commitment Divorced or not, you MAKE it a priority to ALWAYS be involved in your kids' life

Do yourself a favor, fellow literary professionals, and block Gary S. Kadet and any subsequent profiles he makes 😑 He's notorious on other platforms for starting shit for the sake of it. We don't need that kind of drama here.

Today marks the day my book has been out for a whole week. I'm pretty proud that I put that all together, with a bit of help. books2read.com/u/bOkpJ9 #BookSky #NewRelease #Fantasy #AdultQueerSFF #authorsky

And I know you’re all on the edge of your seat for the Amazon ebook of Into The Forest to go live 😛 but if you can't wait, my feral enby MC still waiting for you at books2read.com/u/bOkpJ9

Did my weekly sales check for Into The Forest and surprisingly ok with there being no new sales. That said, if you are interested in a fantasy story where a feral enby MC fights back against an oppressive ruler, you can find it at books2read.com/u/bOkpJ9

I would rather die a good man than live not deserving to be called a man at all.

Folks! It's here! The Smashwords sale. You can get Into the Forest for 99c until 08/03/2025 and read about my enby MC going up against an oppressive ruler. www.smashwords.com/books/view/1... #BookSky #authorsky #Fantasy #ReaderSky #AdultQueerSFF

I don't need to write a steam punk space pirate book. I don't need to do that. That's not a thing I need to do. I'M A FANTASY AUTHOR NOT A SCI-FI AUTHOR, SO WHY DO THE STARS KEEP CALLING ME LIKE I OWE THEM MONEY?! Fuck... I'm a sci-fi author now, aren't I? ಠ_ಠ
