The thing about cutting your own hair is every once in a while you eff it up and now you're torn between shaving it all off (safe) or rocking the eff up until it grows enough to fix (risky)

What are some trad pub SFF/H books that have been out at least a year that you think didn't get enough attention? Adult or YA. Marginalized authors preferred, and small press titles encouraged. Not looking for big bestsellers or award-sweepers.

Finished reading IwtV and I definitely hadn't read the whole thing (if I ever did). What a strange little thought experiment on the human condition. A whole lotta "wouldn't it be fucked up if..." in one book.
Well I *thought* I'd never read Interview with the Vampire but so much of it feels like deja vu, like I fever dreamed it once. Maybe I did read it? Or maybe it's just that pervasive in the pop culture consciousness.

Definitely ‘Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity’ from @erewhonbooks.bsky.social! Editing this project was such a powerful joy, especially right now, and I’m honored by all the amazing writers & translators who contributed and entrusted me with their stories.

Honestly, the "Target has a new rule about interacting with customers" thing also underscores how much skill service jobs require.
Knowing when/how to interact w/a customer is a *skill*. "Smile and greet within 10 feet" is a blanket rule to cover for the fact that they don't train on that skill.

As someone who sometimes faints and doesn't like when people make a big deal about it... this is not what I mean 😬
When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

Oh dang. I wonder if this is why I've stopped seeing some folks on here.
Not cool. I'd rather block them myself.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Honestly delighted they're not going to rush something out just to have it out. 3+ years gives the animators and writers room to make an excellent sequel

I'm not even good at promoting my own work, which is why shouting about queer adult SFF has been a godsend.
Also, y'know, queer books ♥️🤎💛💚💙💜

As a writer, I think I can say that writers are some of the worst follows on social media. Please develop an online personality beyond "I write and promote what I wrote." Shitpost. Share recipes. Post photos of your cat. Or dog, I guess. Be political*. Please, ANYTHING. Be a person 1st, writer 2nd.
