EDE Bell is not a person to trust. She is not safe. She is gathering minions to send after anyone who questions her awful behavior toward authors she represents as a publisher. Do not join her discord. Numbers going up means she thinks she's winning.
Krista D Ball is Canada's Spooky Potato@kristadb1.bsky.social · 1h agoOH FOR FUCK'S SAKE ON A CRACKER Emily is apparently in another discord I'm in (so I'm seeing this with my own eyeballs) promoting her "private" discord as a "safety-aware, neurodivergent-friendly" place. anyway, I'm on vacation so I'm going to go back to vacating because this is just ridiculous

#HeadsUp: As noted by the author, Starship's Mage, book 1, by @glynnstewart.com is on US Kindle sale for $1.50. I got some for random giveaway, since I've read this and enjoyed it.
Spookiest Welsh Canadian (Glynn Stewart)@glynnstewart.com · 1h agoToday only, Starship's Mage is on sale in the USA and Canada for $1.49 mybook.to/StarshipsMag... Damien Montgomery has the skill and the magical gift to be a Jump Mage, but not the connections. The choice he makes to get onto a starship anyway will lead him to strange and dangerous places...

This dive bar is finally open! Come in out of the storm and grab a hot coffee. Add a shot of booze to keep you warm. I'm sure cell service will come back on at any moment. Relax and enjoy yourself, and if you think you hear anything clawing at the windows, it's just the wind.
Sadly not much writing time this week. I'm doing revision instead of a first draft, and right now I've got a lot of changes to think through before I do any actual work on the document. I think i can make current changes to the romance subplot work, but there's a lot of worldbuilding to consider rn

One thing I've been desperately looking for in regional platforms is any idea on alternative emergency responses for people experiencing mental health/addictions issues. @mattjrodrigues.bsky.social is the only candidate I've seen discuss this. Please consider voting for him Kitchener neighbours!
So Ian Tuason thought it was chill to use photos from residential schools and actual Native kids to make his "scary movie" creepy? What a disgusting choice
From the beginning one of my biggest issues with this person is that it is my FIRM BELIEF that once you ask people to sign their IP over to you, there is simply a higher bar of responsibility for how you behave in professional spheres & also how you let your mental health impact those people.

Last re-skeet: there is no one solution for accessibility, and we really, really need to do better at accepting that as an immutable fact across all areas of disability. What provides access for one person can even close the door for another. Having *multiple* choices/options is the way ahead.
Sorry I’m not gonna do idea landlords discourse today. You want authors to not get paid? Cool go totally rework society so that we also don’t have to pay for things.
goooood morning it is foggy again and cool (but not too cold), so we made our rounds, saying hello to a couple of neighbors and sharing our snacks with crows, so yes, all visibility aside: Lucy Loved That Walk
