Not everyone can do this, but if you’re able to, cut the big companies out of your life. Pretty soon I’ll post a how to for replacing Google Drive with self hosted OnlyOffice. (Currently testing.)

Everyone is listing song lyrics but my five bullet points for the chumps at OMB are: 5. Bite 4. My 3. Shiny 2. Daffodil 1. Ass

I'm currently: 📚 Reading - Just finished: A Necessary Chaos (@brentclambert.bsky.social) - Starting: Zimanges (@mcburnellauthor.bsky.social) 👀 Watching - Severance season 2 🎶 Listening - Alligator Bites Never Heal (Doechii) - Various MEG MYERS albums - Pump Up The Jam (Cunk for life ❤️)

I never share images w/o ALT but this is for a key point. OP screenshot a post talking about our failed justice system & violence. I'm not encouraging piling on the OP, just pointing out the "group" is huge: My 77 year old Air Force vet father thinks a violent revolution is our only path.

Project share: A while back I got a 1989 Game Boy DMG-01 with a dying screen that I decided to rebuild! First I put it in a new shell.

Everyone stop sharing helpful infographics without ALT text challenge. Level: Impossible

If you too check out the #NeoG, I just might get to write more! Die Hard in Space Queeeeeer 🌈📚 Highly competent sass masters Found family through it all #spaceopera #sciencefiction #booksky

Fellow authors: Also make sure you're signed up with www.authorsagainstbookbans.com - they'll connect you with local organizers & direct action to support these bills & oppose bad ones. Ex: In CT, raised SB 1271 already had a hearing & we showed up! (Different from proposed SB 523.)

Fantasy writer friends, check it out! I'm hoh (deaf at times) but I'm awful at signing - aka no useful info to lend. However, I bet many of you know someone who could help out here.

This is my “tap the sign” meme. I wish I could pin this to my profile. Just scrolled past a couple of angry posts that meet this criteria. No ALT text, someone clarified in the replies, and yet it still got shared. Please friends, don’t get time grifted! ❤️

I am so shocked at how many "progressives" still publish on Substack...Make the switch to @buttondown.com ! It's very easy to use, and the guy who runs it is really receptive to user feedback. I also got better subscriber engagement after switching.

I used to see stats about how some low percentage of wheelchairs were "actually" mishandled and/or damaged. 30/day is *awful.* And let's be clear: If you separate a person from their mobility device, you've mishandled the equipment.

THIS! We want your words, even if jerks don’t! And sign up with www.authorsagainstbookbans.com - they don’t spam you, they connect you with other authors from your state, and encourage action on legislation.

My primary motivations to write: 1. I have too many opinions for a single meat sack to contain 2. Murder is illegal

If anyone is looking for an editor, I have availability. @lucasdelrose.bsky.social @authoraudreys.bsky.social and @paulgzareith.bsky.social will vouch for me! #editor #writingcommunity #booksky #writers #authors #indie

Hey, check out Rebecca's books! This one, in particular, is a hefty read with a neat twist around that dystopia (if you've read Iain M. Banks, think in the style of "Inversions") – but you won't want for a range of genres or story lengths!

I hate this. And it's only a matter of time before these fucking ghouls come for the ADA in its entirety. They've resented every step taken to make things the slightest bit more equitable and now they're drooling at the prospect of abandoning disabled people – what they've wanted all along.

Donate & subscribe to FIYAH because they are awesome! And read Brent's book – it's also awesome. Two sides of a power struggle, made to fight one another, but they get involved anyway. It will be really cool to see Vade and Althus in this FANimation short!

FANimation is back with A NECESSARY CHAOS by @brentclambert.bsky.social In observance of #Blackhistorymonth I am raising funds for @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social - they do so much for the SFFH community. Please join me in supporting them. Teaser trailer on IG: www.instagram.com/share/reel/B...

Happy Black History Month! Please consider adding more Black art to your skyline and to support working Black artists in a time where our histories and our voices are under attack. #BHM #blacksky #blackart #drawingwhileblack

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵

Polite request to the people telling others not to use grocery delivery apps or Amazon : please start wearing masks when you go out. Some of us could get really sick and die.

A really common abuser tactic is to push and harass a person over and over again until they lash out in response, and then be like, "Oh my God that was so awful of you! I can't believe you did that!" And I wish more people would realize that.
