Holy heck, so many new people! I don't know what popular starter pack I wound up on, but HELLO STRANGERS. I'm a queer, nonbinary nerd with autism, ADHD, and a bunch of disabilities. I'm a freelance book editor as my day job. My social media content is a mix of personal, professional, and profane. 🤘🏳️‍🌈

You can be a "no simultaneous submissions" journal, or a "we won't make a decision about your story for a year at least" journal, but you really should not be both.

This. I sometimes get frustrated by author choices, but I never take them personally, cuz it's not my book. There is no one right answer, most of the time, and all I can do is offer my best advice from experience. That doesn't make it the word of god, and you (and your publisher) have the final say.
The editor's slogan: It's not my book.

This is a statement I always edit by. It's your book as the author. I'm just here to help you polish it as best I can.

I offer suggestions on how to improve what's already on the page, but you're always free to reject them.

Some days, having chronic pain is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. You can do everything "right" and your body will still decide to hurt you. So if you know folks living with chronic pain, know that many times we are masking it to be able to participate in our lives.

A year ago, I proposed making a web ring for independent presses! And - tada! The Indie Press Webring connects independent publishing houses. We're small, and we need your help spreading the word so we can grow.

Readers and Press folks alike, check it out: indiepresswebring.com

I hate this and love it in equal measure.
The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

I made food for the house! And used up leftovers! Egg scramble with steak, potatoes, green beans, broccoli, spinach, quinoa, and a great deal of cheese. It doesn't look photogenic, but it tasted amazing. As the person who usually cooks, apparently I have been missed during my convalescence.

By the way, the shirt that Mervin thinks he's helping fold by making biscuits on it is from the amazing @voidmerchstore.bsky.social (in a different font): voidmerch.threadless.com/designs/leav...

After surviving the last few months, especially the last three weeks, triumphant defiance feels apt.

One (1) toe for breakfast. Tastes like strawberries, high-fructose corn syrup, and shenanigans. 😂💜

I managed to actually cook a thing and then immediately had to go lie down from pain before I could eat or package it up. This is terrible. But at least it's getting better overall?

In which @sinboy.bsky.social sends me fancy expensive chocolates and peelable dismembered human body parts for Valentine's Day just so he can REALLY say he gave me his heart.

Or *a* heart, anyway. Somebody's. Also their brain, their kidneys, and at least one toe.

Today is the first day in two weeks that I have not been in debilitating pain and nausea. I got several hours of sleep! Consecutive, even! Halle-fucking-lujah.
