I suck ass at poetry...but...but...imma still call myself a poet. 😭 It'll stick one day. I know it!

@wiscon.bsky.social Thank you for giving us the best feminist inclusive convention, EVER!!! I learned some key things: Stay Weird. Stay Curious. And be yourself because the right community is out there. See y'all next year! 😁

FIYAH is going on hiatus. More here:

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

WE DID IT. We hit our goals. That means we are officially open to artist submissions!!! We are only open to the public for a limited time. So, artist submit your best Black Speculative Fiction art..

Bluesky resets my nervous system. The relationships I've made here restores my belief that their are good genuine people still.

We are less than 25 away from our backing goal. All we need from you is to hit Notify! That's it. Science fiction Fantasy Horror Surrealism Southern Gothic Magical Realism Dystopian Romantasy This anthology is packed with variety of stories that'll keep you thinking and guessing at every turn!

Black Speculative Fiction authors, I know y'all are submitting to @fiyahlitmag Black Kishōtenketsu, right? We pay 0.08/word for 2K-7K short stories and $50 for poetry! The team wants to read those stories!

I desperately need a "And they were roommate" type book but make it a horror fantasy. What y'all got?

If you enjoyed THE CROWS and my ace, touch starved cannibal monster boi, and you want MORE ace rep in Gothic Horror, more sentient house rep, more paranormal shenanigans, and maybe some romance, this book is up for preorder by @alicebrooks.bsky.social mybook.to/theinkeater

The best thing an author can do is to be annoying AF. I will not shut up about this Black Speculative Fiction Anthology where we challenged the authors to write stories without the white gaze. This is Black Science fiction. Black Fantasy. Black Romance. Black Horror. Get notified when we launch!

114 of you are already here, thank you for believing in this anthology. We’re building something that spans fantasy, folklore, sci-fi, dystopian, horror, and more. Let’s get to 125. Hit the notification button and be part of launch day.

Cover reveal!!! The pre-launch is here and we need your support to bring this project to life. Once we get to a certain number of followers, our submissions will open!

One of the greatest acts of rebellion is to READ A BOOK!! #literacy #criticalthinking

If we allow the Trump administration to rewrite and erase Black American history, LGBTQIA+ rights, and climate change research, then we are accepting a future where truth is negotiable, facts are disposable, and history belongs to whoever holds power. Then again, this has always been the case.

Politicians should not be dictating what your children should or should not be reading. Their parents should have those rights. This H.R. 7661 Bill is bullshit. It's another way to control who is or isn't visible.

I'm going to be teaching at a writing workshop alongside @michaelastackpole.bsky.social and @suspensesiren.bsky.social next month. It's space limited, so the workshops will be small and there's opportunities for one-on-one coaching and critique. It's going to be great! 22literary.com/workshops

A group of Black authors got together and asked, what happens if we allow the world to burn? Cover reveal coming March 1st.

The Kickstarter is 81 dollars away from being fully funded! Please share. Let's back this horror Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jvs...

This!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Distraught, enraged, and tired. An author cc’d @fiyahlitmag on an email to The Writing Atlas, a site dedicated to “cataloging short stories.” There are 130 FIYAH stories listed with (presumably) AI summaries. Some have LINKS to a Dropbox folder. Our issues aren’t publicly available for scraping.

I joined my first DnD Campaign! Any tips? I'm nervous 😭
