Years ago i wrote a story about a lesbian werewolf whose ex girlfriend became a successful writer…writing about werewolves as if they were fiction. It was me coping with appropriation and I’m still proud, even though it’s hard to find nowadays www.colorbloq.org/article/the-...

Media is supposedly so responsible for influencing our behavior and yet none of the sixteen thousand versions of A Christmas Carol* has kept the obscenely wealthy from being the fucking worst *All of which I will watch every December because shut up that's why

An organizer from this transgender safe house in Africa reached out to me on X. They are in need of food vouchers to keep feeding transgender & queer victims who seek refuge. They do not accept money, vouchers only. If you have the means, I urge you to help them out. #AllBlackTransLivesMatter

Happy Indigenous People's day, the crimes of the conquistadors were known and recorded not just by their victims but by their cultural and linguistic contemporaries.

Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

If it ever gets too overwhelming to keep track of every individual banned author, please consider doing what you can to get involved in and support your public schools and public libraries. The broader stroke of this right-wing project is to undermine public trust in public institutions.

this is the end result of tokenization, of marketing certain books solely by the identities of the characters within the pages & not by merit of the story. so you can talk out of both sides of your mouth as a company, pretend to be progressive while caving to bigots. deeply shameful

#writingcommunity #worldbuilding #author #writer So it is sunday! Another time for a blogpost! This time, it is about how to make new kinds of queer instead of the BORING old ones that you humans have. @awinchell.bsky.social said it was kinda gay, which we both fully support! tinyurl.com/4amm68nx

If your Banned Book Week observances are still focusing on Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird instead of the plethora of books by queer and BIPOC authors being actively banned RIGHT NOW, then you may want to ask yourself some questions about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

Honestly the most exhausting thing for me is this idea that artists are rich and hoarding wealth and thus need to be knocked down a peg when most of us are starving so you're really just kicking people who are already down. It's the ghoulish lack of humanity for me.

You know since calling my little passion project "The Wandering Stars", I found about this thing called 'musica universalis' and I have been all "HMMM, what if the main artifacts/items of the main god was musical instruments?"

Literally though the whole AI thing makes me mad because people see where artists/writers are now and they want to be on that level immediately. You don't see the years I spent sucking. You don't see the bug eyed anime fanart and terrible short stories I used to write. You only see what I do now.

When you think of Pandora by just kind of looking at her - do you see a more urban fantasy thing or is there some like high fantasy vibes out of her somewhere?
