Cover reveal coming soooooooon! 🎉 Honestly, I’m so excited for this collection to come out. It’s one of my favourites and, truthfully, my last collection for a while. Especially with two sequels out next year 🤩

Was I planning on rescuing a cat when I moved to Weifang? No. But when life gives you a crusty, malnourished, ill cat, you take her home, get her healthy, and post her photos 6 weeks later 🐈‍⬛

So meet Diller! As you can clearly see from the photos, her hobbies include sleeping, napping, and resting.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.

Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?
Feline Feces (lib catturd) @kitttenn.bsky.social M dashes (the long dash) are a dead giveaway. LLMs love using them for some reason, while actual human beings have no idea how to type that into the computer. They also love sets of three, overtly parallel structure, and impersonal writing.

Look, I’m sure it says “Rough Draft,” and I’m sure it’s full of A+ horror, but the way Google cut off the attachment’s name makes me think it’s a story about a rough night of passion with Mothman.

If you’re pro-AI, you’re invited to pull up to the buffet that is my entire *ss, you absolute 🤡 AI is not ethical. It’s only good for stolen ideas. And the only tool I see is the person who voluntarily uses it.

This book is full of lesbians in love, lesbians in the throes of love, lesbians pinning for their loves, and body horror. It’s a real mixed bag 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏼

They are, quite literally, the most talented editor I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Your work can only get better in Nelka’s hands! Sincerely, get their editorial services while they’re criminally underpriced!

Listen, Ghost’s new song—SATANIZED—is incredible and the video is just *chef’s kiss*

Unfortunately, I continue to search for Santanized every single fuuuuucking time I go to listen to it 😭

It’s not enough for men to just read women and femmes in horror this month! They should be begging for us to peg them too!!! In this presentation, I’ll be explaining how pegging is actually the first step towards a matriarchal utopia through—

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this
🧪👩‍🔬
There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

If you are interested in nominating poetry for the Hugo and/or Nebula Awards, I have two eligible poems! Thank you for your kind consideration 💖💫
Screenshot of the poem “Born Against Teeth” from the Grimm Retold anthology. The text is as follows: Born Against Teeth No trace of winter in green spring. Birdcalls sugar the end of a breath: greetings born against teeth. Every promise is a path. Petals of daylight pasgine'gl are torn from tree bark. A voice at the door. A voice from the bed. The room filled with a mouth metewjigmit growling, snarled open: snapped shut. Sunlight blinds as life begins at the end of a needle, ugs'tqamuit comes into the world at the end of a knife. Hands red as her velvet skull, eating winnu tongue from the wolfwomb— rebirth is stepping out whole from that which tried to devour you. Screenshot of “The Sea-Witches at Nightfall” from an uncanny Magazine’s website. The text is as follows: Clutched in cold hands and freed to blue topographies a sacred transmission pulses as the light lowers a bright chorus metewintoq is heard singing from night’s dark throat— Each moment is a pearl spat from shell gesigawitgl they flow swiftly— into our depths, where we divine the future far from the closed mouth of the nacreous moon— In the place of low light wasoqonmeg we keep it lit— the gleaming lantern of every eye— and fish trail stars on silk as hope sways silver above us on a sky that toqjua’t sipug swims upstream.
