if u mfs want to see books and video games and comics about darker themes actually get funded you need to actually stop being a fucking whiner when horror creators tell you the cozy label is hurting us. the publishers don't care about the niche made up definition of cozy you have in your head

Writers, is anyone else writing secondary world fantasy/ epic fantasy or SciFi-Fantasy? Tell me about your wip!
I'm always happy to connect with fellow SFF writers, especially queer and or neurodiverse ones, but I can never find enough secondary world/ epic/ SciFi-fantasy moots.

I want to emphasize - no one should give more than is comfortable. That's not the point.
But $125 a day from the entire English-speaking world to fund a translation of a Kiswahili book exploring masculinity and culture is so cool and reasonable it really should be zipping by and all over the feed.

Yes! 15% - yesterday put us back on track for needing $125 a day - so your $5, $10, $20 really does help.
Your posts *do drive* the views and donations, so there is nothing better you can do than make them.
(Still hoping for a boost or donated art from bigger names! 🙏🏻)

Dictation is ridiculous. Look at this nonsense. I have not stopped pausing to think and consider, so there is not a notable difference in style. The only difference is the fact that I am not fighting against hands that hurt. Ridiculous. One thousand words in 40 minutes. Unthinkable.

Buy physical OR see if authors are pubbing their books on places like itchio. You can buy books from itchio and then you OWN it! Like actually! You get the files and everything.
If you prefer to read digitally, support the indie book space now more than ever.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:
The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.
I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Really I think that, if CrepAng is "Countless societies have already experienced apocalyptic events, and the unsustainable blood-as-fuel mindset that causes it must be consciously recognized to understand the larger cycle of misery"
