Some writers and industry professionals say you should keep politics out of your writing if you want to make money.

Here's a thread about what's wrong with that:

1. Show me the statistics. I dare you. Oh, guess what? There aren't any. It's a gut feeling. And it's used to shut people up.

Yo, my text-to-speech app flagged a scene from THE BODIES WE SHARE (my MS) as enabling the sexual exploitation of minors.

Guess what the scene was?

Two adult women talking about the awesome gay sex they just had.

If I didn't know better, this'd look a fuck ton like homophobia & misogyny to me..

It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

One issue I struggle with on socials is that I'm afraid to speak my mind.

Yeah, I wanna connect with the #writingcommunity, and I know we're all building our platforms, but my stories are highly political, and so am I.

Writing is a form of resistance.

Sci fi is inherently political.

Apart from writing, politics, and queer stuff, I SHALL BE POSTING ABOUT HER!

I'm new to Bluesky and still kinda sad about Twitter falling to the dickheads. I used to love being there with all my queer writer friends and wanna come back to the community - anyone got some pointers for me where to start?!
