A new groan-worthy writer joke: A writer is marching down the road with a scythe and plough, following a stubborn ox. It’s unclear who’s in charge: him or the ox. A stranger calls out: “What are you doing?” Writer: “On my way to work the plot.” :P #WritingCommunity #amwriting #jokes

Italian painter Agnolo Bronzino’s oil painting "Portrait of a Young Man with a Book" (1530s). I guess #paintings could have served as the Renaissance version of Bookstagram. Just a bit more tiring getting posts from A to B. :P :P :P #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amreading #BookSky #art

Just learned about this game -- you're given 10 artifacts / day (from The Met's collection) and have to guess where they were made and when. 🏺🧪 And it's hard! I only got top 35%, which is kinda sad as an archaeologist & author of our Astonishing Artifacts column @livescience.com. anthropeum.com

God is an American. Watched the NBA Finals. Several Knicks players claimed #God was on their side. Tough break for the Spurs. One team drafts the Almighty; the other is left with the Devil, eh? ;) In sports, why not. In war, people claim it too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT3c... #DavidBowie

Hey, haven't posted anything in 3 weeks (shocking), coz I had absolutely nothing to say (what a concept). In unrelated news: I'm boycotting this year's Soccer World Cup coz... well, hey. Conveniently, this gives me a huge number of extra hours to work on my #writing. :) #WritingCommunity

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

I was going to share photos of my author copies of Together is a Distant Star today, but USPS lost my books and delivered an empty box to my house. I am not happy. So anyway, go check out our anthology! It was a great group to work with and includes 12 fantastic stories! books2read.com/DistantStar

First 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 of our upcoming #graphicnovel 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 is in! :) The first review always makes u nervous, but I’m thrilled to share this amazing one from @henrychamberlain.bsky.social of Comics Grinder 🙏🙏🙏 Full review: comicsgrinder.com/2026/03/17/b... #WritingCommunity #amwriting #comics

My mind is completely eschering itself today (yes, that's a verb :P ). Every time I touch my #WIP, the plot develops another staircase leading upside down into its own trousers. Think I need some fresh air... if I can locate a staircase that believes in conventional geometry. #WritingCommunity

Curious to check this out. #ReadingCommunity #amreading #BookSky

Dropping a fresh, groan-worthy writer #joke: A writer sat shivering in his cabin, pages blowing everywhere. His friend said, “Close the window. There’s a terrible draft in here.” The writer looked hurt at the manuscript scattered on the floor. “You really think it’s that bad?” :P #WritingCommunity

Guess who has her copy??!! 🎉 I can't believe I finally have the product of 4 years of hard work in my hand ❤️👏 Find out more about it here ❤️ blackties.my.canva.site/home #blackties #graphicnovel

Exploring #poems from different cultures is a brilliant way to widen your own poetic expression. Lately, I've been deeply moved by this Viet song. Even in translation, the lyrics feel timeless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS2Q... English lyrics: lyricstranslate.com/en/trinh-con... #WritingCommunity

From the category “groan-worthy writer jokes”: How many mystery writers does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to change the bulb, and the other to give it an unexpected twist at the end. :P :P :P #WritingCommunity #BookSky #amwriting #readersky #librarians #teachers #ReadingCommunity

Just rewatched Koyaanisqatsi (= “life out of balance”/"a state of life that calls for another way of living") for the first time since ’98. If you haven’t seen it, watch it. Stunning, haunting & somehow more relevant now than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWp8... #Art #Climate #LateCapitalism

Excited to share a throwback to my short story which was published in @mooncityreview.bsky.social and later nominated for a Pushcart Prize. This was my first major publication after almost two years of submitting into the void, so it meant a lot to me. #fiction, #writingcommunity, #shortstory
