If you're around Lincoln, NE swing by the Southpointe Barnes & Noble this Saturday from 11-4 for this year's author fest. There will be a bunch of us hanging out. I'll be doing a horror/thriller panel at 3. #LNK

Joy has some really beautiful writing on her page you should read
In every conference, they speak of reconstruction - the rebuilding of this sorrowful land. They discuss collecting the rubble and ashes, recycling them in one of the nations. Excuse my ignorance, but who will host rubble mixed with blood and the bones of decomposing corpses? The corpses of innocent people who were killed and denied rescue? Pardon me again, but the same countries now willing to host debris filled with the remains of children and women - are they not the very ones who refused to host them while they were alive? Will these countries be able to bear what will haunt their sleepless nights and torment their dead conscience? Honestly, excuse my ignorance, my questions, and nothing more. But do not excuse my hunger and fear beneath the bombs. And do not excuse my slow death. @joydii22.bsky.social tinyurl.com/help-joy If there is any painkiller that can extinguish the ache of hunger, I know full well that he didn't mean hunger itself— He meant the pain of human betrayal, and abandonment: To be killed without anyone feeling you, To have your humanity stolen Without a single reaction from those around you, To have your voice muffled While they pretend to be deaf.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help.

All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of my fabric art creatures. There's a green fur floor and a galaxy print fabric background in the pic. Here are some of the creatures: a watermelon ghost with a green body and pink face and twinkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a black crablike creature with wide set blue eyes and purple eyeshadow. She has red lips, four tentacle-like arms and an embroidered rainbow flower on her forehead. There's a black ghost bag covered with red embroidered flowers. There's a watermelon ghost bag. There are two yellow creatures. Each has three eyes, two tentacles, and mouths full of sharp teeth. There's a cosmic moth sitting on a little chair. The moth is black with a gray face, twinkly red eyes, and a wide grin full of sharp teeth. The moth is covered with hand-embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors.

Out of the woods for my bank account for now,but still need some help to get through the rest of the month.

Food and supplies are generally not covered by disability, as the majority of what I get goes to rent.

Good morning y'all.

This is lingering longer than expected. They are in a hotel which is eating away at funds.

Please let's do this quickly so this family can be back in a clean safe, stable HOME!

Y'all. Update on Angel:

It's Zero hour, they are officially homeless. They have to leave today. Keys have been collected!

However, instead of moving into a hotel(wasteful) they can move into a home!

There's time to pitch in! #helpfolkslive2025 #helpsky #mutualaid 💸💕

A pale rectangle with brown text that reads: Fundraising goal $1376 I understand that it can be hard to know who or what to trust when it comes to "fundraising", and I don't take your "support" lightly. I'm reaching out because I'm facing a urgent situation, me and my 4 kids are about to stay in a hotel. I'm not "seeking" sympathy I'm "looking" for a chance to reach this goal so we can move into a home. If you're unable but still feel moved to "care" even a "comment" or "share" can make a real difference. I'm doing everything I can, but I can't do this alone. For direct aid I'm justangelj on all payapps Lynx in bio for gofundme and paypal pool.

I hate doing self-promotion but also I need money, so here's a reminder that I have two novellas out through Filthy Loot. People seem to enjoy them, maybe you will too!
The cover for WAX & WANE by Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin. It is a black and white negative rendering of the wolf boy of Nuremberg. The cover for Fleischerei by Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin. It depicts a love heart carved into pale skin.

Today is Emancipation Day in Canada, across the Caribbean, and other regions - marking the day slavery was abolished in the British Empire. My book, The Book of Possibilities, has been featured on a few Emancipation Day reading lists, and I'm grateful!

Lemme tell y'all a bit about the day:
A graphic reading "25 books by Black Canadian authors to read in honour of Emancipation Day" by CBC Books. 5 books are featured.

As I continue a complex healing process, I ask my communities to come through for me for August shelter.

Every positive move to uplift, and meet this ask is greatly appreciated.

Ok to uplift in kind spaces. #helpfolkslive2025 #helpsky #fundsky #FundFriday #TBNC #Blackmutualaid #BIPOCMA 💞💸

Please help. In danger of being homeless. My roommate has been struggling to find a job that will cover the bills and I am permanently disabled and cannot work.

I need the total to be over 1,100 to meet this month's rent and bills requirement.
