I've got an eight-book sci-fi dark comedy / horror series, an apocalyptic urban science fantasy trilogy, a whole mess of novellas, and some illustrated adventure for younger readers. My writing is genre fluid (and yes, there are dad jokes). www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

I made a little Two Cows meme thing for the generation gaps. Ignore the Gen Alpha spoiler in the thumbnail. Or, you know, don't? hatboy.blog/2026/10/03/y...

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Happy birthday there, Ame 🫡

If you want a full rundown of the Academy of Natural sciences situation, this video does a really good job of covering it. youtu.be/nxyfBfCrbDw?...

@krystlematar.bsky.social dude, what the heck have you sent me?

If you hate AI so much then why am I such a weird nerd?

Ship's counsellor Janus Whye, former horticultural mood analyst forced to step up and fill the role after almost everyone on board was killed, has a conversation with Controversial-To-The-End, chief engineer for pretty much the same reason. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This was nearing its goal when I donated, but the woman who yelled a slur at a kid is a millionaire now so you know, donate if you can? hatboy.blog/2026/08/30/s...

If your own fucking kid never wants to talk to you again and it’s never occurred to you that YOU might be the problem, I already know you’re the fucking problem.

me: hey do you have this movie I want to watch? Disney: no Netflix: not anymore Apple: ew no CBC Gem: yes and it’s free Prime: maybe I do, maybe I don’t. Maybe it costs $5 for no reason, even though you already pay for this. Maybe you should fuck off into the sun.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

There's a lot of violence against me and my mutuals in this thread but this one just felt rude. Like, I was already lying there bleeding out and *checks notes* kickmegirl is just ... oh I get it

Hey all, I hate to do this again, but. I just had two clients pull major projects in the same day and it's left me up a creek without a paddle, with rent due in 4 days. So, MASSIVE #commission #sale!! Will post specifics in the thread, but these are great deals for any #rpg or #gamedev project!

Ooh, I've got a triple word score on this one! From "The Last Days of Earth". #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts www.amazon.com/Last-Days-Ea...

I'm in! I'm currently reading (and loving) "Time Warp", book two of The Audacity series by @carmenloup.com. And I can't do a book plug without mentioning the books of @geoffjones.bsky.social and @gmnair.bsky.social. www.amazon.com/dp/B087H3N8QK www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKG8QWY8 #BeholdBooks

I'm at ConGregate this weekend in Greensboro NC! Come out for books, panels and lots of fun! #books #indie #fantasy #sciencefiction

If you’re interested in being part of this, please volunteer – I can’t wait to meet you!” Come help us weave a spell over Dublin and volunteer with us 🩵 Our amazing Volunteers team will find the perfect space for you - dublin2029.ie/sign-up-to-v...

100% my experience too And the phrase I say and hear the most (sometimes after swearing) - “How can I help?” And that attribute is life giving. @dublin2029.bsky.social will be super special because of everyone who helps build it.

This amazing artist keeps appearing on my feed so I'm glad something is going right with the algorithm. I am consistently broke, but every time I see these artworks I think to myself "am I *that* broke?" Give Dakota some love!

I see a lot of talk about Mitch McConnell's "I'm not dead" video being A.I., and all I can say is oh look, another thing I don't want A.I. doing. Remember when people believed in the craft, and would hire an identical body double like in the 1993 documentary "Dave" with Kevin Kline? The *craft*.

No 'Star Wars'. No 'Star Trek'. name a Favourite Sci-Fi Franchise. Seriously?

What the heck, I'll join in. We don't usually see each others headers and I quite like mine. Quote post with yours (if you feel like it)!

This art is amazing, I'd consider a big ol' commission order myself if I had the cash for it right now (still wistfully mulling it over though...) Give them some love!

Hey all. It's tough times. Nowhere near enough $$$ to make rent next week. I'll be posting all day the different commission options available right now, so if y'all can share as loudly as possible, I'd really appreciate it. I'm also setting a new Ko-Fi goal, if you want to support in other ways

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

Yup. Also, leaving out issues of plagiarism, etc, one relevant question for many creatives is "why introduce into my workflow a purported tool that will add friction and slow things down." If you have skills and a method that works for you, "AI" is generally a drag, not a boost. Time is precious.

Trying to decide if I can be bothered putting together a blog post about any of this dumb crap but I think this will do quite nicely. The movie was fun!

Last chance to get in on a groovy Kickstarter! Is "groovy" the word I'm looking for here? Sure, why not.

The ability to buy anything on account of having too much money wrecks a person's brain just like a zero-gravity environment destroys muscle mass and bone density. Human bodies are designed for resistance and they liquefy rapidly without it.

It doesn't take much to make an author's day. Drop a review (on Tainted Throne, just for example). Happy for you, Dylan 🎉

I don't have an anus and my first book is actually an autobiography about why.

I love a good genre-bending story and sci-fi / fantasy is absolutely my jam. Get in on this kickstarter and show a fellow indie some love! "Drag Race meets a gay Game of Thrones meets Chronicles of Amber" is just ... yep, that's certainly a statement.

I'm not sure how voguing and drag work as forms of sci-magic, but I guess there's only one way to find out!

It's only been 4 days, and we're already at 60% of our goal! If you're into friendship-centered science-fiction and fantasy, be sure you grab this 37-book itchio bundle. You only got *checks watch* 10 more days to go! ...I guess you've got time.

Unprompted bookshelf reveal (or at least a fraction of a fraction of a bookshelf reveal). As you can see, nothing but classics here.

Amen, Mr. Dickinson.

New communiqué from the actual president of the United States of actual America just dropped.

I'm not guilty of this (I'm not! Really!), but it is a timely reminder for me (and maybe others) to go through your con loot and follow up on those impulse snatches - and the more talented and eye-catching the promo material, the harder you should follow up on it because creatives deserve it.
