Avid reader and writer of SFF. Small town librarian. Freelance writer and editor. Cat parent. Fat, queer, and disabled ✌🏻🍉 (they/them)
Got my grubby little hands on an ARC of The Knight and the Moth and devoured it whole.

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

How can I wait over a year for the next installment of this masterpiece? (The answer is with cosplays. Planning has already begun and the brain rot has set in.)

I see authors sheepishly announcing books, or apologizing for good news.

Friends: we’re enduring an onslaught of censorship and bigotry. I am PROUD that you wrote anything. Please yell about what you're doing. Art is a fuel to keeps many of us going.
i feel like you should be allowed to talk about & promote your book for at least as long as it took you to write it

Disclaimer for my new followers: I don’t do respectability politics here. I read all kinds of things. So if u came here because I told y’all to read “Are Prisons Obsolete”, plz don’t start tussling if u also see me talking about slutty books featuring beings from outer space… because balance!! 😭 💙📚

I need something that makes me feel like XO, Kitty does….

Or maybe I just need to start rewatching 😭

I’ve always been a sucker for a good boarding school story.

I tend to not be a muter, but probably we should all do a little more self care via muting - and I didn't know about this option!
This is EXACTLY what I wanted and thank you to the person who pointed it out!

If you need some counterprogramming today:
The Family of David Lynch invites everyone to join them in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm PST for 10 minutes.

Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe.

gentle reminder that books can be tools of a movement, but I encourage everyone recommending The Broposal as a political stance to also think about other ways you can help. While I appreciate the love, allyship should not start and end with reading fiction.

Some tips: 🧵

I want to make this abundantly clear: fascism headed by tech oligarchs does not have a border. Whether you’re in a blue state or another country, it’s spreading like wildfire. Their greed is limitless. Hold your community close. We need each other now more than ever.

One thing of many I've always liked about David Lynch is his refusal to play the 21st century game where people not only call upon the artist to explain their work, but feel entitled to an explanation. They want to be told what it means, and Lynch is like, no, that's not how art works.

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

And yet for 16 months people have been in my comments with "free the hostages." It was never about the hostages. It was only ever about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land, as it has been since 1948.

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

When you want slow burn but you get insta-love.

Maybe I’m alone, but an extreme slow burn isn’t just about how long it takes the characters to bang. It’s about how long it takes them to realize they have feelings.

Right???
