Diana is the victim of a hate crime and needs our support. A group of youths threw acid on her at a train station in South Philly. Let's make sure she has everything she needs.

If you've read DEMON ENGINE and MAEJ and want other @traumbooks.bsky.social fantasy titles, AIRY NOTHING is delightful, and I've always felt NOEMA was at least fantasy-adjacent.

I'm living under war in Gaza and also struggling with my accounts being repeatedly taken down, making it harder to get my voice heard. Please consider sharing my post or donating even a little every bit of support makes a real difference in our lives❤️ gofund.me/3acc16e9 👈🏻🇵🇸🍉

"I take the cup from him and brew another in apology as the men commend him for raising me to respect authority..." In this week's miCRo, Bibi B challenges the erasure of women's voices and lived experiences in literature and the home.

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

Fuck ICE.

Sci-fi heads won't want to let this one slip past.

God these threads are always gold

All tRaum Books titles are one thin dollar for an Itch sale. You know there’s at least one book from this press you’ve had your eye on. Like their latest offering, DEMON ENGINE. My high fantasy MÆJ is there too. traumbooks.itch.io #fantasy #sff #booksky

I said something salty about ICE and Bsky suspended my account for 24 hours. Remember, when addressing white supremacists whose literal job is to persecute and terrorise vulnerable populations, make sure to stay nice and civil. In my time off from social media, I finished a first draft of a novel🙌

Haters: "Why is Harriet Tubman a leader in Civilization VII? What did she do to prove herself a leader?" Response:

ICE are the Brownshirts

These families are emptying their life savings and leaving the only home they've ever known just ensure their trans kid can get the care they need. Now ask yourself--would you even think about doing this for health care that was anything less than essential for your child's life?

Authors, are your books on Itch.io? And are they Queer SFF? Or do they have neurodiverse, disabled or BIPOC MC's? Or nonbinary, asexual or aromantic MC's? I'd like to make some Bsky Author Lists of all the above! (And yes, feel free to drop book links & blurbs while we're at it 😉).

Here’s a snippet from another marvellous review of MAEJ. It’s so rejuvenating to know the book’s been read and appreciated. The full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #sff #fantasy #booksky #author

I'm a disabled trans author living with food insecurity. Please back my Kickstarter comic, Kobra Olympus #3. It's a standalone story about a transbian Muslim superhero wrestling with daily life and a Vampiric conspiracy who gets tech and info from the future. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jam...

The Unbound fuck-up is specifically awful, but generic. The creators of “content” being the last people to get paid, while the people who own the pipe do fine. It’s the new normal. It’s Spotify’s CEO taking home millions. It’s AI stealing our work. It’s that. Again. Which is exhausting.

Read the short story that's gonna get me banned from the US for 4 years.

Sink the yachts, not the litmags! Buy it, read it, go full orca.

Sorry but I'm bleeting about this for a third fuckin time. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t... A fantastic read.

The Unbound stories now being shared are certainly providing a check list of red flags and things for authors to check when working with a publisher (of any size).
