What up Bluesky! It's me, ya (not)boi who wrote a story about a fascist takeover of the US. Y'all didn't want it during the 1st #Trump presidency...but now that it's happening, who wants to rep my book? Deets: 1 spy, 1 gal, 1 mind-control chip. Add gov agents/PTSD &this meet just got a lot less cute

Hey Writing Community! I recently received a glowing review that ended in a pass. One concern was that "new-adult speculative fiction outside the romance-led space is a particularly narrow trade category." Should I respond to say I have a strong romantic subplot, or let it lie?

You know you were raised near Appalachia when you hear a random whistle outside at night and immediately tell yourself “no the fuck you didn’t.”

We need a finishing school for Boomers. Instead of teaching which fork to use or how to curtsy, it'd be like why you shouldn't email everyone all at once or how to format an internet post, including why all caps and random capitals are bad form. #BoomerFinishingSchool

LEGENDS & LATTES+ARSENIC&ADOBO+KISS HER ONCE FOR ME Invisible people are missing. Sounds like a punch line, but for El, it’s a case only she can solve. W/the help of a friend—& lover?—she scrambles to find the killer before the next name on his list is her own #QuestPit #Q #A #RF

Those who are caught can’t remember anything. The government wiped their minds, & Mer wants to make sure it won’t happen again. But how will she escape govt agents, deal with betrayal, & let herself return a traitor’s love🌈 if the govt puts a chip in her head? #QuestPit #Q #NA

When an invisible woman saves El’s life, she thinks she’s crazy. But Anne is real & in the middle of a real mystery: invisible people are disappearing. El dives into the mystery—& a romance with Anne—but will competing interests blind her until it’s too late? #QuestPit #Q #A #RF

HUNGER GAMES+FOREST RUNNERS+THE PRINCESS BRIDE It started as a simple love story: 1 spy, 1 gal, & 1 govt mind-control chip designed to wipe memories. Add out-of-control agents & a secret rebellion—plus betrayal & ptsd—and this meet just got a whole lot less cute. #QuestPit #Q #NA

One of my favorite things about my cat is that I can say “kiss me?” and he’ll lift his head. Then I say “kiss you” and give him a kiss right on his fuzzy head 💜 #CatsOfBlueSky

Outsiders always rag on us in D.C. for asking what people do for a living. But how else are we supposed to weed out the fascists, National Guard, and ICEcles? #FuckICE

The elderly man next to me at the coffee shop keeps commenting on what women (staff and patrons alike) are doing, and it doesn’t seem cute or charming…it seems like fucking patriarchy.

GENIUS IDEA OF THE DAY: Give gold-plated wedding rings. Underneath there'd be a message of love that you can only see when you've been together long enough for the gold to rub off 🥹

Women have felt lonely since the beginning of time, but now that men feel it, too, it’s “an emergency” and “an epidemic.” #FindFriends #BeKind #GoToTherapy #StopHatingWomen

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

When a straight woman says she prefers the strong, silent type, it’s because every time a man opens his mouth around her it’s to say something sexist and/or sexual.
