Sucking it up and asking for help. I'm short $10 to get something for breakfast so I can take my morning meds. It's been a very tough month for me with food tbh. Any help is appreciated. ko-fi.com/A0307Q3

Don't let the bigots pathologize us. Yes dysphoria kills. It sucks. Believe me, I know. But we are NOT our dysphoria and we are owed more than simply being trauma porn. We deserve gender affirming care because we're human beings and bodily autonomy is a human right.

Good morning y'all. I hope today is kind to you. Stay safe out there.

Pride Month is almost over! Can I interest you in two scary short stories with trans masc MCs before it ends? They're PWYW over on itch! vincentlore.itch.io

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re ‘unmotivated’ or ‘undisciplined.’ You’re just fried. Nervous system absolutely cooked. Brain melted. Running on fumes. And no, another morning routine, habit tracker, or biohacking podcast isn’t gonna fix it. You need actual rest. Connection. Safety. Time.

On days like this it really is the little victories you gotta cling to.

People in the sex industry have been warning y'all about this for years. Nobody listens until something affects them personally. Queer rights MUST ally with sex worker rights. EVERYTHING they do to sex workers is what they want to do to queer people. Start paying attention!

Good morning y'all. Happy Friday, we survived! Let's survive the weekend, too. Good luck out there

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

STRANGE HARVEST is full of AI btw

Thinking about Old Bellblack 2.0 yet again, sheesh.

#WeeknightWriters Want 7k words of MLM smut and romance? What if it was packaged with other gay goodies? Cream and Sugar is part of the #CitrusCon and Have a Gay Day bundles on Itch.io! itch.io/b/3108/have-... itch.io/b/3097/citru...

Libraries rock.

#WeeknightWriters The last thing I published was a companion novel to my first book, this time from the vampire MMC’s POV. In Penance, we get to see what Diego was up to while he wasn’t training Eilidh to master her shifter powers. Hint: it’s a lot of sex and murder. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

#Beliegered is a horror romance currently at 40k words and so far feels like Beauty and the Beast and Dracula had a big gay monster baby. The tag has snips. No recently published things but I do have a sale, and there's a horror romance in there too. >.> #WeeknightWriters itch.io/s/154088/tak...

Fight For Me is a short story urban fantasy with an aroace warlock published this month! jj-clapton.itch.io/fight-for-me A Stage Over Ruthless Stars is a YA sci-fi circus & part of the Queer Indie Spotlight sale here: weeknightwriters.com/queer-indie-... Both QPRs & very queer #Weeknightwriters

#WeeknightWriters my relevant WIPs: 1: body horror fantastic with Lazarus and Carmine trying to help a woman named Judith escape from a cult 2: straight up smut between Owen and his prince, I'll share this on my 18+ account If you wanna see their current stories, here's my itch:

#WeeknightWriters I don't think this is what you had in mind but Owen was originally a fandom OC that I loved so much I wanted to do something just for him. As for Lazarus, he's inspired by a long line of noir detectives, and just so happens to be stuck in the Cthulhu Mythos 😅 lucky him huh?

#WeeknightWriters both Lazarus and Owen's pasts involve how they were afab. Lazarus' present is directly influenced by people believing he's a woman, whereas Owen being trans has very little bearing on his modern arc. His relationship with the prince (and a certain evil vampire) is another story

#WeeknightWriters Lazarus' is respected by two people: his bff Carmine and the big bad, Harlan. Owen otoh lives in a very queer accepting version of Victorian society where trans people are so common there isn't a specific term for them. Queer marriage is also considered normal.

#WeeknightWriters Lazarus from PSI and Owen from Runner Owen are both trans man detective MCs but that's where the similarities end. Lazarus is a street smart 1930s immigrant while Owen is a Victorian gentle genius servant to a prince. Owen has transitioned, but Lazarus' situation is more complex.

#WeeknightWriters THE HEAT. JFC the heat. Even with AC I'm struggling with it. I think it might be making my depression worse too. Ugh. Been a fight for survival really but I'm pulling through somehow.

Hey #WeeknightWriters! I'm Vincent and I write trans masc led fiction. I'm working on like three WIPs rn and it's... It's going I guess. I've managed a few hundred words at least.

Submissions are open! Make #TTRPGs & help us rescue cats! Check out the #CozyCatJam

I’m still convinced you’ll find the best queer rep in indie books.

Lawrence Rhyne in Runner Owen and his still unnamed son. You meet him in Friend of the Damned and the two pop up constantly in Owen's life. It would almost be funny how this middle aged man has beef with a 20yo if this series were any other genre...

Post a meme made by you.

Hope y'all are doing well. Good luck out there.

I just slept from about 9 pm to now, waking occasionally. That's weird. Yesterday did more of a number on me than I thought.

lmao if anyone actually does want to buy me a taco to be fierce groovy, here is my ko-fi 👀 ko-fi.com/rjcrunden

I'm exhausted. Therapy today, but it wasn't therapy that wiped me out. 45 minute wait for the appointment and an hour wait for the bus in the heat. JFC. I've been asleep since I got home. Maybe been awake three hours total. Hope y'all have been okay. Take care of yourselves please

It's embarrassing to ask this but could anyone help me with lunch today? I didn't get to eat breakfast and it would be a big help rn ko-fi.com/A0307Q3

Well, morning to everyone experiencing a morning. I hope today is as kind to you as the world isn't. Good luck out there.

if youre an author on itch you might wanna check this📚

The hardest part of writing imo is knowing when to take a break. Today I'm intentionally taking a break from my fiction. Just for today. Tomorrow I'll decide if I can go back to writing or need more rest.

Morning everyone. Good luck out there.

I think about this advice a lot: start your project now, today, even if it'll take you 10 years to do, because the time is going to pass anyway. Time is going to march on! Might as well have something in progress!

Please don't break your sobriety over this. Please don't harm yourself over this. We're all scared as fuck, but please, PLEASE don't undo all of your hard work. No matter what happens, you HAVE to protect yourself. You HAVE to hold on. Please hold on.

Folks, this is bidding for charity right now at not even the price of the book. Bidding ends Mon. I put tons of time/effort in, only do Annotated ARCs for charity & this is a very anticipated spooky book! Get on this! Supporting diverse literary agents is SO important right now! Please bid & share?

time for my emotional support ice cream
