You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

I posted an old short story to my currently free Patreon. I originally wrote it for an October showcase, and I’m still quite proud of it. I’d love it if you’d take a look. Feel free to leave a comment, too. #Writesky #WritingCommunity #ShortStories

If you preordered Getting Hairy, don't forget to send me proof (screenshot to jessica@jessicaolin.com works) so you can get the bonus chapter!

First paragraph of the bonus chapter to whet your appetite: I stopped drying my hair with the towel and stared. There was a present, a white rectangle of a box with a deep green ribbon tied in a perfect bow, sitting in the middle of the bed.

If you have a five star scale with half stars, then you have a ten star scale.

Not sure what I mean by #intersex ? (we are distinct from but sometimes adjacent to trans folks) Some helpful definitions from @interact.bsky.social

OOK

Seeking recommendations for Book Riot, my lovelies: What are some Native and Indigenous SFF that you're excited about releasing this year? SFF that leans horror is totally fine as well. Links appreciated!

@micahweil.bsky.social - do you know @thekeythief.bsky.social draws us well?

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

If it were part of a franchise I loved, I would no longer love it so much.

For the 100th daily bird I had to go with the fabulous peacock 🦚

He's not a villain, I know he's not, but the first thing that came to mind was Howl (as in Howl's Moving Castle)

Things I researched for this bonus chapter include different types of dildos and harnesses as well as birthing cycles of dairy goats. Living that romance author life.

I'm going to be on a panel of indie authors on November 12 and I actually remembered to order author copies of Getting Hairy ahead of time!!

Yearly reminder that if you're mean to teens who go trick or treating-- in or out of costume, sober or not-- I will be mean to you.
