i'm not doing the likes thing with this but sometimes it's good to have a framework for talking about other stuff you like, especially if you have to be Online to Promote Things so that People Buy Your Books (Neon Hemlock authors and anyone else besides are well to quote and do this too of course)

Yesss @neonhemlock.bsky.social met its initial funding goal for the novella series! Another 2k and you’ll get my novella. You want to feel really uncomfortable about roommate dynamics, right? You want to process your pre 2024 election feelings, right? Well: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

The thing about reading old sources in a language you mostly can’t read is that sometimes, when you do manage to translate a paragraph or two, you realize that also the author is a bad writer

No cheating, post your lock screen! Sorry everyone but I might have the best one

No cheating, post your lock screen! Shocker for mine, I know

Second up, surprising no one: trans books! All of these are also tiny presses or self-published. I FEEL LIKE I YELL ABOUT THESE CONSTANTLY ALREADY!

listen, I've read QUIET HOURS and it is SO GOOD, so I need you to go fund the stretch goal for this Have you ever had a bad roommate? what if the nasty tenderqueer and the abusive muscle mommy lesbian weren't the worst thing waiting for you in this incredibly incisive queer co-op housing horror?

we require everyone's gay dollars please process them here (if you have straight dollars we will take them as well but the exchange rate is weird so you should give us twice as many)

The code for this was partially generated by Claude, which means a heightened risk of bugs. This is a brand new project, therefore it’s not widely used, therefore bugs are even more likely. I also wouldn’t use this until a third party audit exists

I am so excited to make Lev’s terrible roommate problems your terrible roommate problems

We're getting so close to funding already! As an incentive, here is my little love letter to QUIET HOURS by Esther Alter (@esther-alter.bsky.social) that I'd love to include in this novella series if we reach that first stretch goal. It's really effective piece of queer housing horror.

PLASTIC PRISM VOID!!!! What the FUCK. @blipstress.bsky.social raised the bar for what counts as “weird trans lit” WAY TOO HIGH. Fuck. It’s so good. What do we even do now. Maybe we need to write normal stories now. Maybe I’ll write about a sad trans girl who wants to live in New York. What the fuck

I WROTE A NOVELLA AND IT'S GETTING PUBLISHED. Quiet Hours is queer housing horror. Have you ever had a bad roommate? If so, you know how bad it can get. This is a novella that (I hope) we need and deserve: we're all trying to defend each other from the enemy, but sometimes the enemy is in the house

Neon Hemlock@neonhemlock.bsky.social · 2w ago

The finalfinalfinalforreal.doc title is @esther-alter.bsky.social's QUIET HOURS, a truly disturbing and keenly rendered literary queer housing horror. Esther's book will be added to this novella series as our first STRETCH GOAL, so please help us fund!

ICYMI! We are 1% away from being two-thirds funded, just a day after launching 😅 If you would like to see more novellas in the world, consider backing 💸 or boosting 🦋

do you ever think about how software is written by dudes who have never changed their name, never lost a credit card, and have never done anything in their life worth keeping private

This was in 2013ish and it remains on one the wilder things I’ve done with one of my computers. With the power of ignoring your body, you too can learn to use computers incorrectly and one day turn into a rust girl

I had to dig through the cable box to find an adapter and now I’m putting everything back in, including this utterly perfect 2006 thinkpad that still works
