You know what's satisfying? Going over the first draft of chapters in my novel now that I have so much more experience. I feel GOOD about what I'm writing. 😊

Always SO satisfying to be able to get back to writing after a holiday break. One day I'll be in a space where I can write every day! 💪📚

This is all the better having read the book and knowing exactly how strong a magical girl punch is

This guy's ending up in the hospital. Surprisingly quickly, via the wall of said hospital
It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi.

Thanks to @beedokfern.bsky.social for this delightful work!

Wow. So glad I quit Genshin. e.e
Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

I swear, I'm going to be SO emotional when HalfTails is published... I love this project so, so much and I hope the world loves it too!

I made my monthly donation of 25 dollars to PBS starting today! That channel basically raised me as a young child, and gave me so much curiosity and validation as a small bookworm with ADHD and autism.Honestly, it's something incredibly sacred to me.
Consider making your own donation if you can!<3

You can subscribe to PBS for a few dollars a month.

Cancel Disney, Paramount and Amazon.

Vote with your dollar and give to the people and organizations who are still fighting back.

Who are trying to make a difference.

Who aren’t owned by billionaires.
Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Just did a MAJOR overhaul in this draft of chapter 4 in HalfTails...it's gonna be good 🔥

Howdy, #booksky!
Looking for fellow authors of diverse lit to chat books and read y'all's amazing works! I'm a soon-to-be author and want to be more involved in the community!

I myself write diverse middle grade of anthro and humans with a main focus on queer and disabled characters!

Today on the site, I'm delighted to have a guest author writing the Fave Five: Chatham Greenfield, author of Try Your Worst, which comes out tomorrow! Before we get to Chatham's recs of Fave Five: Queer Enemies-to-Lovers YA Books, here's a note from the author: I would say that there’s nothing I love more than enemies-to-lovers romances, but I would be lying.

just a small portion of what people spend on giant corporations like Disney would change the average indie author/artist/musician/etc.'s life

this is why I ask you all to spend money supporting those of us who create outside the system and work to give voice to the things corporate America won't

so yeah less than two months until my layoff date - company needs to Make Line Go Up More so that means gutting the entire department - and so I am once again asking you to buy, read, and spread the word far & wide of my queer magical girl novel.

The sequel is nearly done. 😁

Reminder: you can find my trans magical girl novel on the shelves of Powell's Books at two stores in Portland and in Beaverton

At the main store you can find it in both the "Staff Picks" section by the entrance and in Sci-Fi in the Gold Room

Not bad for a self-published trans novel 🥹
A reminder for PDX folks + those visiting our city, if you're looking for a "Magica Riot" paperback you can find them at the legendary Powell's Books!

At the main store: check the "Staff Picks" rack by the main entrance and the sci-fi section in the Gold Room!
