I have @looceyloo.bsky.social thumbnail sketches for the Sisters in Magic cover. I hope everyone loves the final cover as much as I love these sketches!

Welp. I have now bought a new dvd/bluray player and a new wall mountable tv to play the DVDs a friend lent me. A crunchy roll subscription for my phone would probably have been cheaper.
Thread. Both the initial argument and the Greeks later on.
VƎX Werewolf@vexwerewolf.bsky.social · 3d agoI am being completely unironic when I say this: if your worldbuilding does not account for trans people, you have bad worldbuilding.
"Essentially, it appears I got fired because I reposted a thread on social media that the publisher took personally."
Axed Partum: The dumpsterfire consumed my book
‘Congrats!’ is what everyone keeps saying. The reason people are going round offering congratulations is because, apropos of nothing, Atthis Arts, the publishing house that ran my first solo book, emailed to tell me that they are stopping the print run for Ex Partum and reverting the rights back

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I need at least some context explanation for a quote from the Wing Commander movie... #amwriting
Since it's the beginning of November, I thought I'd grab a number before I recorded this morning's words. 72K in October. 642K over the year to date. Still have some work to do!
Skyla did a bang-up job on this cover, so please buy my book www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJGHGRS
Skyla Dawn Cameron@skyladawn.ca · 4d agoI just find this behaviour so transparent and so gross. I've a friend with a small press and we had to cyberbully her into a cover reveal for her own book because her whole focus is on pushing the work of her authors and trying to do right by their work.
My phone was definitely out. Time to see what the desktop says...

Four of these are still left! #UKKindleBookGiveaway #KindleBookGiveaway #GNUTerryPratchett I know that it's an older book, but surely you know *someone* who hasn't read it, or would like their own copy! Let that someone know! Feel free to repost/reshare/reskeet/email/skywrite!
Sean Eric Fagan@kithrup.bsky.social · 5d agoCached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of Men at Arms, Discworld book 15, by @terryandrob.bsky.social, which I have and have read, of course. This is a fine entry into the Vimes/Guard stories. Because this is a #UKKindleBookGiveaway, you MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one.
Just hit 60 kids and had to break into the backup snack sized candy
Ha! At least one child old enough to appreciate our ready-made RPG gift bags! (Notebook, pencil, mystery dice bag) Most of them have been littles.
🎃 Heads up for anyone driving tonight: be extra careful, drive slow, be alert! 🚨
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · last wk.A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.
Ah yes. Breaking an expensive and hard to replace display case and not telling us is a *great* first impression for a home cleaning service.
Someone posted on the discord for my FLGS looking for a learning game of Spearhead (the small version of Warhammer Age of Sigmar) Several others, including me, are in a similar place. I think 5 of us are getting together to play Spearhead this weekend now. I'm not sure we have a "teacher" XD
Ever have those moments when you're like "I want to go home" but you're already at home? Because what you really want is a place or moment without expectation or stress and, well, even home isn't that at that moment.
Everyone is sharing their favorite Picard moments, and I’m fond of “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”
RIP Patrick Stewart :( Always one of my favorites, both on and off-screen. Seemed like a pretty chill dude, able to own his mistakes even if he couldn't always avoid them.
Wow. (Alt text: a massive sculpture of a sea serpent's skeleton, stretching out from a beach into the water. There is a person standing by the skull to provide scale. She appears shorter than the skull.) Article about the statue from 2018: mymodernmet.com/huang-yong-p...

Ladybug (and now Sammy) are so close to goal, and to their human being able to get them all the help they need!
Seanan McGuire@seananmcguire.bsky.social · 3w agoI know we're all pretty strapped right now, but @yamyamyam.bsky.social is a dear friend, and Ladybug is one of those incredibly sweet, loving, pet rock-type cats who shouldn't be in pain just because her human's financial situation has changed: www.gofundme.com/f/send-ladyb...
There appear to be critical antiviral rearmament programs taking place in my big toe. Only noticeable side effect of my flu and covid shots so far is a nasty cramp. In my toe.
Today is my birthday, and I would like you to support trans authors about it!
Abra / Jessica Conwell, 🎄 2026 Holiday Edition 🎄 🏳️⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼@pairofclaws.bsky.social · 3y agoOn that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Yikes. Trying to get quotes for shipping as I put together the final parts of this project and it seriously looks like shipping anything from Canada to Europe is an arm and a leg. If I'm sending a $30 item, I don't want to be charging / paying $80 in shipping O_O
