His phone. Right. Feels heavy in his hand, now that he notices it. He nods, something rumbling in his chest that might be a _yeah_ if his throat weren’t so fucking dry.

Hey OFMD pals, exciting news!! There are a few things in the works for this!!

1) The amazing @oatmilktruther.bsky.social is going to be modding a smut writing Q&A panel aimed at beginners during @actofgracecon.bsky.social !! More details coming later this week!!
Okay legit question if I put together some sort of smut writing workshop would folks be interested??

(Please note it would be general smut writing, not focused on specific characters)

(I have also never run a workshop like this and cannot guarantee it would be good!! But it would be fun to try!)
I need a workshop on writing the smut. Which one of you is going to run one? I make a complete mess of it, every attempt.

Oh, I thought of more:

Spend time researching companies that enable ICE and spread the word about boycotts. Use your own positions of power and influence to chip away at the enablers too. And here’s a guide on how to do that:

Our last #RABiT meeting, dug into why we’ve become so reliant on corporate suites and what realistic pathways out could look like for NGOs, grassroots groups and networks. If you’re wrestling with “what would it take for us to stop using Google Docs?”

some edits have been made. more to do. basically i have two key chunks of a chapter to spruce up/beef up (emotionally/thematically) which i think is what both beta readers said in entirely separate comments and i have been dragging my feet trying to work on that. it's a start.

Oh hey, shortly before ao3 went down I posted an extremely silly new fic for @ghostalservice.bsky.social! I think it's maybe one of my most unhinged Stedes so far, and I'm told it's very funny, so check it out maybe?

the last two years, i signed up as a writer, telling myself that i'd *only* submit claims if something really spoke to me and got my brain a-turnin' storywise.

for the last two years, i've gotten to do some really cool collabs and published stories i never would've written on my own.
Writer sign-ups for the #OFMDReverseBang open in four days! We already have over fifty artists working on incredible pieces for this year's RBB. Stay tuned for the sign-up link to join as a writer this year!

This is why we did our #ywmlp fundraiser. Support @theyoungcenter.bsky.social to get these kids support.

as someone who usually prioritizes tasks i am assigned asap, leaving beta feedback in a doc for going on a month makes my brain scrambly. what if i got back into it today, though? what fucking if?
