Hey there, Bluesky! I'm a writer working on a YA epic space fantasy series~ ✨ Please take a look!
After being betrayed, Emily finds the life she knew gone, replaced by the demon lord’s encroaching rule. Having escaped him before, she knows the might of his magic—and that she can’t win alone.

She's an undine, but not exactly an animal... I know I use a dolphin for her once, but if that doesn't work, then maybe an otter~

Tell us your Main Character's fursona/what animal they would be.
Is your character already an animal? What human job would they have?

Shereen has lost most of her extended family and her husband recently (while holding her son) had a chain from an Israeli aircraft fall on him and shatter his arm/ give him a head injury- luckily little Ahmed was safe. She started this fundraiser after this happened because he can no longer help
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shereen. Shereen and her husband (a house painter) fled their home early in the war thinking it would only be for 2 days. She lost everything as well as many family members. Her main concern is getting her son, Ahmed, 4 into a kindergarten.

Corporate-style icebreaker jump scare 😱: tell us a fun fact about you, the author!
This is meant to be fun, so if "fun facts" make you cringe, feel free to adjust this prompt. You could do two truths and a lie, or just give us a non-personal fun fact that brings you joy.

Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

To most of the galaxy, the Cardinals of the Grand Cross are considered bad. They waged war on the Asloriat Kingdom and stole mana from various planets. They were four half-valkyries defeated by the Warriors of Dawn. I've only drawn two, but one day I'll draw Curt and Kal~

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
