Nothing that could kill me popped out, so I can safely say any day you get a happy little box from @charleneelsby.bsky.social is a good day. Expect trinkets in return, I am a corvid and I have a literal trinket gift box under my bed...

between here, some of threads, and Substack Notes... I'm... spending way too much time reading, manic posting, and just generally being on social media, but it feels less toxic, so I don't trust it, naturally. When do the shitbirds show up?

Just buy the book and love yourself.
No book title resonates with the spirit of our era more than BURN YOU THE FUCK ALIVE by B.R. Yeager.

I'd been working for YEARS to attain the level of fake delusional micro indie lit reply guy author who never pubs clout I had on Twitter and I will not rest until I have back all my best quality followers.

One thing I remember about DIY bands touring is that they would always completely go off even if they were just playing for the people who lived in the house. It is too bad more writers don't see that as a viable way of being.

An app meant to help me sleep told me, “Thoughts are just one of the ways the body responds to stress,” and now I have to rethink my life.

A the brink of indie publishing entering it's theater of the absolutely absurd era and fam I am here for it.

anyone else over on Substack notes noticing how WILD that place is. Holy shit, culture shock is not the word. Their platform native authors are a TRIP sometimes.

OK, @incastellated.bsky.social followed me and I'm about to preorder Massive from Asterism, all is... within reasonable bounds within the world for the moment.

Found the bridge app to find people you follow that follow you on Bluesky as a Chrome extension, BOOM ratiod the fuck outta myself.

Anyway, heres me laughing at people who don't think I'll throw hands just because I'm a writer and a lefty. I'm also, you know, a federally convicted felon kids.

And then this right-wing to hate monger that is trying to trip me up semantically or verbally or some other way is completely confused. There is someone on the other side that would gladly just feel like yeah no if neurosurgeons play God and any neurosurgeon worth their salt does. I can too.

Every time someone who is very far to the right leaning, nationalist, maybe someone that you could call fash, or just you know an authoritarian bootlicker, but every time they try and catch me in some sort of like logic trap like what would you do if? I'm okay with playing God. I'd kill them.

And I mean I've been on sub stack notes this morning like trying to figure out where all the f****** Nazis come from. All of a sudden asking stupid questions.
November 15, 2024 at 7:53 PM
So this is like Twitter used to be except with less people. Okay like can we just get the rest the indie lit community over here. At first glance it seems nice.
November 15, 2024 at 7:53 PM
So some of us are here, but it's all wonky. Ok.
November 8, 2024 at 6:33 AM
So are we all over here now, what's up?
November 8, 2024 at 6:27 AM
There's always room for one more platform when you're chronically online @will7christopher.bsky.social welcome back.

Excited to, on the longest night of the year, share this episode with Elle Nash (@saderotica.bsky.social), to explore what it means to write dangerously & with a burnt tongue, to cross the borders of the acceptable & see if we can find our way back again. Audio: tinhouse.com/podcast/elle...

Having a serious stalker is wild. Never thought I'd have the personal numbers of more than one FBI agent.

So everyone raise your hand if you've had a stalker travel cross country to threaten you and a bunch of admins over some FB group drama from four years ago.
