New substack coming out tomorrow. I have...a lot of thoughts about substack and the politics behind it, but that's for another day. Right now, the one I have coming out is about AI and my feelings surrounding it. Spoiler alert: I'm not a fan substack.com/@hlschiff

*whispers* you know we can do this cultural debate about art thing all the time, right? Websites and news organizations used to have culture critics on staff whose entire job was writing about books, movies, and TV. People read them and then discussed them. We have the technology to do this again.
I've laughed at this way too many times

An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, sources have reported.

Reposting for anyone who needs to hear it. I'm far away from perimenopause (I hope), but I know people who have used HRT and it SAVED THEM. It can also really help bone density as you get older which is SO IMPORTANT.
Jeni Chappelle@jenichappelle.bsky.social · 2w agoI don't know who needs to hear this, but if you are in perimenopause and miserable, ask about HRT. Do it.
Attack! @soraya-udw.bsky.social's wolf, bullet! I loved drawing this guy for @artfight.net. He seems like a hilarious character. I've been reading #wolfsrain too, and I think you can see it's influence, lol #wolf #wolves #artfight2026 #teammystery #teamtragedy #wound #comiccharacter #art #artist

Finished drafting my 26th novel yesterday (with some minor edits this morning 🤫). It's a queer, feminist, gender swapped, literary fantasy Moses retelling that has been floating around my mind for a while. So excited to revise this baby! #moodboard #firstdraft #literaryfantasy #amquerying
Me: "I need a title for my WIP." @chikasaurus-x.bsky.social: "Fish Sticks and Caviar." Friends, there are no fish in this book 😂
5/6 things you will probably find in my books: - Political and religious critique - Queer characters - Found family - Complicated relationships with parents - Positive femininity - Finding yourself after trauma What about you?
Teresa@dimreaper.bsky.social · 2mo ago5 things you will probably find in my books - found family - shapeshifting of some variety - somebody dies. And then un-dies 👀 - mismatched lovers but they make it work - AMINALS - anti fascism share yours (or don’t I’m not your boss)
If you don’t think lesbians being under represented and sidelined during pride month is lesbophobic unfollow me right fucking now. I am a lesbian. I don’t want people who don’t support me following this account. Im a proud ass dyke and my flag is just as important as the others
Why am I being called out like this?
Bailey G. Albreit@baileygalbreit.bsky.social · 2mo agoAlso, since you're writing it, the book changes constantly and you have to keep checking on things like, "Did I change that character's name every place where it appears?" because you saw a shiny object and decided a different name was better. #writing #books #booksky #writingcommunity

i dunno I think sometimes people just enjoy talking to like minded people. do you do this kind of shit with your friends offline
Corey Atad@coreyatad.com · 2mo agoi think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.
i have been fortunate enough to live a life in the arts, creating things and following hallowed footsteps. its something many buckaroos dream of, and as someone who has done it, THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS i received are the moments in between. if you generate with AI, THAT is what you rob yourself of
I have moved. Life is stressful still. Might actually start writing again though. Sorry I missed the end of #CampRevPit! It was a lot of fun!
Moving today! How is it already May??? I feel like I just decided to move yesterday! No writing for me the next few days.
#CRPFantasyFoxes omg okay so I'd love to visit my entire world. I've spent so much time building it, working on it, and trying to make it feel real. But if I had to choose one place, I would choose the valley where the climax takes place. It's high up in the mountains at a glacier lake.
Jacqui Culler@cullerpictures.bsky.social · 3mo agoFor our Discussion Den today, #CRPFantasyFoxes, let's talk setting! As fantasy writers, I know we love to worldbuild, so what is a setting in your book you’re obsessed with? Is it a place you’d like to actually visit? Is it inspired by somewhere you’ve been? Let us know!
#CampTrivia #CRPFantasyFoxes 1. I came up with the idea when I was in high school 2. No one has read the entire series 3. It's the hardest book I've ever written
Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 3mo agoGood morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Tuesday is #CampTrivia time! Post 3 weird facts about your WIP: 2 truths, 1 lie. Let us guess the fake.
