You don’t have to report to social media what organizing you are doing! That might not be the smart or secure thing to do!!

I spent yesterday adding words to pictures and glaze to bisque ware. Today is for wheel time. My hands are itching to be covered in clay.

This valentine's day, take some courting tips from these Gunnison Sage Grouse. Go to the club, puff out your chest, dance, and give a complex series of booms, pops, and whistles. 🪶🎨🐡🧪 (for @instbirdpop.bsky.social annual report, 2021)

Promote your books. Share your art, your music, pictures of your garden, sunsets, your cats. Help us remember that beauty and joy—and cool stories—are out there just waiting for our attention.
I have a book coming out in six weeks and my plan is to do everything I usually do with it, promotion-wise, because the world IS on fucking fire and people will need their time away from the flames, and when they do, my book might help give them the break they need and deserve.
Fellow authors with books coming out, WTF are we supposed to be doing right now?
Because I just want to throw up when I think about writing a newsletter today about my book coming up tomorrow with everything going on.

A writer's greatest fear isn't rejection. It's accidentally using the same word within two paragraphs of each other

All, I just saw someone post to bring up one topic per call for staffers.
Here's why I've consistently said it's not a good idea based on experience as a constituent affairs director (current staffers, feel free to correct me...! ):
If you call too much, you start developing a rep in the office.

Never going to stop shouting about this. You need to buy trans books now. Especially in hardcopy or DRM free formats.
Don't say "it'll never happen." Look around. It's already happening.

On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Copy editors don't need to know everything.
Copy editors simply need to possess constant curiosity, the instinct to look up things that smell even slightly off, the ability to listen to what a writer is doing before laying down the law, and a dictionary or two.
