Jesse Pohlman (He/Him)

Hi there, I'm Jesse Pohlman. I'm a #Queer #Pagan author from Long Island, New York. I write #SciFi/#Fantasy. 📌 You can read all about my background/bio here: jpohlmanwriting.com/about I tend to use my "Pinned Post" to track accomplishments, events, etc as a thread.🧵 What's that mean?

I'm....I'm pretty sure that's Wedge from FFXIV? Looks like him! I think I'm okay.

Erica Hall does this kind of shit in #PhysicsIncarnate. "See the Humanity in each others' eyes." She has a license as a psychologist, but of course she's using Empathic coercion on everyone dumb enough to get into a room with her. She cheated her way to the Presidency through that, after all.

Not to be pushy, but time is running short on this big 'ol bundle! Hopefully you've been saving up! :)

Something good.

I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.

Oh and for those who say "elect the Dem and push them left:" What happens when they're also outed as liars, and thus as someone who cannot be trusted to build a dialogue with? Except maybe with Peter Thiel's version of Dialog? Nah I'm kidding - or am I?

I would not be surprised if Flavio and his buddies communicated electronically when setting up suppression efforts, and that those messages are in Lula's hands as we speak.

I really do think you should vote. Your actual vote is secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Being a regular voter means campaigns will try to win you over. The more trans people are regular voters the more likely it is that candidates will worry about needing to win our votes.

Wrote a thing. I won't pretend there's not a lot of anger and imperfection in that thing, so I'm open to polite correction and adjustment, and I know I'm a little outside my ordinary wheelhouse, but, yeah. #TheProgressiveCafe the-progressive-cafe.beehiiv.com/p/i-m-fed-up...

i wonder if these two things are connected.

This is fucking crazyshoes.

Okay, okay, But what if we're already TotalFarkers? :)

I often see things like Dems calling 'red' states "backwards-ass" and throwing down ye olde bigotry of low expectations to justify why Dems *have* to run on taking rights away from people, and... I mean maybe if Dems actually fought for people's rights they'd see the errors of their ways? Maybe?

Amy fucking Acton LITERALLY refused to meet with trans Ohioans about her transphobic ads a couple of months ago, and members of the progress caucus resigned because of it. Stop telling me these people are interested in "working with us"

This... ...Is fascinating. There might be countermeasures to some of it, such as shadowbanning and/or "bot detection" like what happened w/No Kings, but it's definitely interesting.

These anti-trans Dems are saying "biological males" should be banned from girls sports because they know exactly how bad it sounds if they say "transgender girls" should be banned from girls sports. They're using "biological males" framing as a sort of self-justification and self-soothing.

We must expect that Meta's interference is happening in other elections around the world *right now*. This isn't just a one-off. Meta has proved repeatedly they are committed to advancing far-right agendas worldwide, are serial liars, and are flagrantly indifferent to the dismantling of democracies.

Assuming this holds up, this is a "holy shit there's hope" moment.

I... I mean I haven't been there in a while, but I kinda like/d The Cheesecake Factory?

Damn that's a hearty, full-throated waffle

Spaceships! Literally that's all this bundle is about. Awesome stories aboard and about spaceships! I bring the interstellar body horror in a tiny lab ship! itch.io/b/3969/space... #Scifi #Booksky #Itchio #BookBundle

Well… this seems like our future

Seeing some of our politics these days.

This includes ALL genocide. Doesn't matter if the victims are: - Palestinian. - Ukrainian. - Sudanese. - Trans Americans. If you aren't anti-genocide you don't get my vote. Period.

This is generally my approach, too. I lack the "how," but, yeah. :/

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

Better not see him campaigning for Transphobic Dems, then. Oh. Oh wait.

Cyberdyne Systems employees have petitioned to stop the sale of its T-800 Terminators for the purpose of terminating.

Brazil's election is a Big Fucking Deal. Everyone who follows me from Brazil already knows where they stand with this. And hopefully where I stand. Kick that fascist to the curb.

Another week, another #Patreon post. We're getting closer and closer to me releasing some FREE stuff, so sign up (again it's free) and check it out. www.patreon.com/JPohlmanWrit...

Great idea. I had to. I frikkin' had to.

*Long sigh* Yeah it seems like this is exactly what's up, actually. This new "NaNoWriMo" 2.0 is AI all the way. prowritingaid.com/novel-november Their website tries *real* hard not to mention AI, but then you catch stuff like, "...ran it through Plot Analysis" and yeah that's kind of a giveaway.

“It was just a phase” implies a fixed end point of the Self, which does not exist. We are all Becoming until we die; every ended “phase” becomes absorbed into your whole being

I'm pleased to tell you all that my #SciFi #SpaceOpera genre debut is in this bundle! It certainly represents a time in my life I was very hopeful about things. Anyway, get Protostar: Memoirs Of The Messenger with theSpaceships And The Stars Bundle!

Hey man, what does it mean if you call what Israel is doing a genocide then mourn two soldiers enacting that genocide
