Look, I'm gonna say it again: how do you think people are going to find out about your stories if you DON'T say anything? Magic? Psychic powers? Oh, maybe the story will FLY through their WINDOW and land on their DESK!

Yell about your stuff! And other people's stuff!

Readers do not have ESP!
For those writers out there who feel nervous about promoting your work and potentially screaming into the void, let me just say: it works! Whenever I see a little bump in downloads/sales for past issues, it tends to coincide with one of that issue's writers talking about it somewhere. Don't be shy!

2 ICE tactics I’ve learned of recently via neighborhood signal chats:
-gaining access to a large apartment building, pulling fire alarm so everyone exits
-driving around blaring ice cream truck music through a loudspeaker

Pure fucking evil

As you already well know by now, it's all lies.

Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie.

All of it.

Every time.

I agree that we ought to use persuasion to bring people nearer to our political purposes; I think that making every single Republican a social and professional pariah for the rest of their lives would be very persuasive when it comes to people weighing the cost/benefit of aligning with fascism.

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

The thing about the enforcement of a hierarchy is that there have to be harsh punitive measures to make examples of anyone who treats those on the lower rungs too much like an equal.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

Unfortunately the issue with writing anything niche (yuri, tans characters, experimental work, language that is not enormously widespread because of colonialism) is that it just has a smaller market. Which socks, for multiple reasons, but it's just the world we live in.
People sometimes ask why I write in English and well lol
No literary agents in Hungary. UK agents rarely take translations. As an established writer in my native language, I keep running into closed doors on the English market. Fellow writers: Has anyone cracked the "small-language-author" problem? Share your magic tricks. #authorproblems

New at Lesbians With Teeth: FATAL WOMEN by Tanith Lee, a collection of stories about toxic lesbians, variously realist and magic-realist, set in an alt-history France. Quite recommended.

About one week left for this sale on the #GunmetalOlympus series! Sequel comes out soon, so catch up on our Greek myth-inspired mecha lesbians who definitely have no trauma, sister issues, mother issues, evil issues, and who are SO okay they slip into cannibalism.

DMing people to demand they denounce some trans woman or another, largely because you find her annoying, is not a good use of your time, I'm sorry.

Tangled is a mixed-race Brazilian trans woman who currently stands to lose income due to racist nonsense, please consider helping or boosting if you can.

Found this mildly interesting. What does everyone think re: unfinished series and what authors 'owe' readers, if anything? (Don't worry, we'll finish Gunmetal Olympus.)

The laugh she gives is beatific. “You know, eating you was euphoric. Oh, it was as if I’d had the finest of ambrosia. No stock of Zeus’s could have competed. Give in to your hunger, Persephone. Relieve yourself of unnecessary shackles—let the inevitable happen.”

Seeing white people post about the 'ideals' of the American 'melting pot' is crazy every time. What caused the 'melting pot' again--the US hegemony exerting its economic sanctions, regime changes, and doing invasions causing people to become refugees?

The extent to which Gunmetal Olympus is about intergenerational trauma and murdering your parents is so fun. In that regard, pretty faithful to Greek myth, lol.
