Queen shit: “I’m not resigning,” said Alfonsi, who remains employed at CBS. “If they want me gone because I did my job, they’ll have to fire me.”

Breaking NYT: CBS News declined to renew its contract with '60 Minutes' correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi — six months after her segment on torture in Salvadoran prisons was pulled off the air abruptly by Bari Weiss. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...

“I can’t,” she sobs. “I have to save you. And I can! This time, I can do it.” Marguerite smiles sadly at her. “No matter how many times you try to save me, Claudine. You never will,” Marguerite says firmly. ✨From IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN✨ #historicalfiction #romancebooks #indieauthor #queerbooks

The only thing better than a summer romance is a summer romance steeped in body horror. #sapphicbooks #sapphichorror #queerbooks #indiehorror

Normally, I'd post an update, but it's been kind of a hard week (asthma attack, loss in the family etc). I'll just say thanks for all the support, and if you could help, and/or boost this post, during this difficult time, I would be eternally grateful. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

COVER REVEAL 🎉 I’m so happy to finally show off the new cover for IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN ⚓️🌸🌊 This book is beautiful, tragic, and full of queer love, and I really wanted to lean into that with this new cover. #sapphichorror #queerbooks #indieauthor #romancebooks

Gotta admit, I absolutely loooooove that KDP removed the callback option from their help centre. If there’s one thing I love, it’s getting absolutely zero assistance from their A-👁️ slop bot 🥲

I am only doing 2 events specific to IT CAME FROM NEVERLAND. This one and one in Chicago. Then, I’m away all summer teaching at writing residencies, attending writing residencies and gearing up for my last semester, Fall, before dissertation defense, and a Fall anthology release. Time moves swiftly.

"Peter Pan" meets Stephen King’s "It" in this dark retelling that twists a childhood classic into a WWI era horror story. Yeah, we can confidently say we’re obsessed already. Join @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social at BHB on June 11th for a discussion of her newest release, "It Came From Neverland".

Now that @barnesandnoble.com is okay with selling AI books, allow me to list a few things I’d rather read than robo-slop 🤖🥣 #indieartist #indieauthor #humanart #queerbookstagram

The Trump administration has targeted NPR, PBS, and their affiliates. The Onion shares tips for supporting public media.

Writing a short paragraph objecting to this idea is quite literally the easiest thing for a bunch of authors. Let’s do it people!

Lucy A. Snyder@lucyasnyder.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The FCC is floating the idea of making shows put up a warning if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph objecting to this would be helpful! The deadline for comments is May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Wouldn’t it be cool if one of my books was getting a new cover? Anyways, on an unrelated note, please enjoy some IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN ✨aesthetics✨ #indieauthorsofinstagram #queer #sapphicbooks #sapphicromance

good practical reflection for artists who feel like whatever theyre making just isnt working is the sit down and VERY HONESTLY ask yourself: what is the gift here? it can be a lot of things. what am i giving to myself? to the world? what feeling? what expression? art that resonates is art that GIVES
