Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous...

posting this #WIPSnips a few days ago led me to over analyze this passage... and i ended up hating how overwritten it was... so I ended up rewriting it teeheehee R E V I S I O N S N E V E R E N D
Sam Cavalcanti (they/them)@500sams.bsky.social · 5mo agoToday's #WIPSnips for the word "pursue" :) Man, I had fun writing the fake casting calls for this manuscript... vaguely based on my experience as an actor and the garbage casting calls out there :p
traditionally publishing a book takes a LONG TIME because everything (from how much shelf space the title take ups, to how many ads to run, to how much touring will happen) is determined by how much interest the publisher believes there is, which in turn is determined by, YOU GUESSED IT, preorders
