On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

Hey everyone I need recs for YA comedy books that are not rom-coms...for reasons 👀 It can be comedy mixed with other genres (horror, fantasy, thriller, contemporary) but no romance please 🙏🏼 If you've recently read a YA that made you LOL please let me know! #WritingCommunity

If I ever get to be important enough to edit my own anthology, it has to be about cats. "Puss & Huss: An Anthology of Feline Horror", with SFFH stories about evil cats trying to murder their owners, witch familiars, cat-shifters, and saber-toothed tigers resurrected with genetic engineering.

My microfiction piece "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" is now published in Hearth & Coffin's micro issue! Lots of amazing authors are featured in this one, and since the pieces are so short, one can read it super fast! www.hearthandcoffin.com/post/terms-a...

All the other specfic magazines are going to be SO confused when they start receiving ~500 crab-themed submissions at once right after the rejections from this one are out LMFAO (And yeah, there's a big, big chance that I'll be one of the weirdos sending them) 🦀

Ok, silly question for the writing community. How can I make a post to appear in a certain feed here on BlueSky? Like, if I post something about 'short spec fiction' or 'kidlit' how do I tell the app to send it to the 'spec fiction' or 'kidlit' feeds?

My short story 'Lost in Transcription' has been published in Radon Journal, still can't believe I have a story in this amazing magazine, and it's free to read!

Is any of the many spec magazines that opened for subs this week taking horror comedy? Asking for a friend. That friend is me.
