SURPRISE! ACE WEEK SALE! 🖤🤍💜 This is as much of a surprise to you as it is to me (because I did not plan this—very professional, I know), so from now until Saturday night, you can grab BLOODY SPADE and/or BLEEDING HEART for 50% off on Itchio! brittanymwillows.itch.io

Happy #IntersexAwarenessDay! Today I'm reposting my old Intersex 101 thread from Twitter - with new improvements, resources, and more! It's starting right here, read on!

Going to watch the second live action Scooby-Doo. I see eyeballs and pterosaurs in the promotional picture. Who will Daphne punch this time? Will Fred do rope dart again? Will they attempt to sacrifice the dog to evil spirits? All will be revealed.

Lots of stuff being promoted due to ace week, so I'm recording the posts to spread out the reposts. The one thing I miss from Tumblr elsewhere is a proper repost queue.

Happy #AceWeek! Now through October 31 you can get the complete Iamos Trilogy for 75% off on Itch.io! This bundle also lets you choose whether you want the classic covers or the anniversary ones! lyssachiavari.itch.io/the-iamos-tr...

I watched the new Masters of the Universe film, which I generally liked, but we didn't see He-Man point his sword at Cringer during the transformation. I have transformation scene standards here.

Mostly doing admin today. Everyday Aliens has some slightly updated ebook formatting going out. I also need to do Rainbow Lights and Sunstruck, but those will be a bit more time consuming. It's been some years, so I want to reread them in full.

I wrote about the history and mysteries of "babysitter in peril" novels for @unwinnable.com's Halloween issue.

Here, have the findings in a nice Medium post too. Now with actual graphs and more waffling! Also a books mentioned list, though it's not likely to name many unfamiliar titles. dovelynnwriter.medium.com/asexuality-a...

Family drew a picture of a grenade on the shopping list. Turns out it's a mayonnaise jar.

Hey, folks, a little intro! I'm Cedar McCloud, a trans, queer, and disabled (AuDHD) indie author and artist in Southern California. You might know me for my tarot and oracle decks, or for my books, or both. My current main thing is the Eternal Library Series, about magic queer bookbinders ✨📖 ✨

My author website is old school html using http, so can't be included in the new links thing. But still works in the profile, so I'm leaving it there. I added a couple of other links though.

I watched the live action Scooby-Doo. It's basically how I imagined the cartoon would look with live actors, so I can't really complain.

I'm getting back into the horror novel slowly. It's technically more of a novel-in-stories, which isn't too surprising (I've read a lot more short horror than novels, not for any particular reason... it's just how it happened).

I survived the dentist! Only flu jabs to go now (which got delayed due to pharmacy issues). Then I can focus on the most important thing of the season: eating.

Somewhat weird emails today as all of Kobo declines me as an affiliate. It's fair as I deleted my review blog and no longer review, but I thought they'd rejected the requests ages ago.

In good news, I have acquired a monster plushie that has five eyes and then the designer thought, no, that's not enough eyes, and added four eyestalks as well.

I have story notes for a short and did the research I needed before I start the main writing. Getting there.

It looks like Disney's Hexed is also embracing giving important characters unsettling numbers of eyes and I'm here for that.

I'm visiting all the Hallowe'en places in Second Life still, so I am alive. Seen a good quantity of eyeballs this year.

You all know what time it is! It's New Aspec Releases Round-up Day! Okay, technically that was yesterday, but I am running on fumes still. I'm already happy it's not later. Anyway, look! Shiny new books! (Don't forget to submit your upcoming titles either!) www.patreon.com/dovelynnwrit...

hello, I am doing some research and would like to tap into the collective brains of BSKY: 1. can you share some genre or literary fiction magazines that have closed and the archive is NO LONGER ONLINE 2. the same but the archives remain online FOR NOW i would also appreciate RTs for awareness 💀

It's getting colder where I am, so get ahead with the (rather rainy) wintery vibes with this book! 🎄

I did some spinning with a cheap ball of wool, to get a feel for the ratios and treadling on the wheel. (One weird tip I guess, as this saves wasting the actual spinning wool.)

I have some wool and silk for winter projects. One thing is to make felt samples, to test some ideas for a bigger project.

Moth 🔦 first picture in my October series!

The good news is we got hold of some candycorn (it's an import item here), so I will be filming dipping some in Marmite at some point.

I sorted out a lot of stuff including booking everyone's flu vaccinations. After this, and the dentist, hoping that'll be all the medical stuff for this year.

There were geese on my walk! Flying in formation really low. Also a few people have put autumn wreaths on their doors.

Five days (and end of the first calendar month) of Wereconifer. So far, sales are a little higher than I usually get at this point, plus some sales of Werecockroach. I should have enough to cover my website costs until the new year, so that'll relax things a bit.

28 hours left! We are SO CLOSE!!! Who can help us cross the finish line??? A little over $100 to go! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

PLANET SICKNESS by Kat Giles! Small press published sci-fi book about a disabled archivist who discovers discrepancies in the archival records regarding a disasterous space mission 70 years ago. Themes of climate justice, disability justice, and critical librarianship, in a tight sci-fi mystery.

Ate some of the cabbage soup I froze. I have a few more days left, so that's easy suppers.

Getting back into some writing today, though at a relaxed pace. In longer stuff, I have a horror novel (probably next) and then a third Werecockroach book. It'd also be nice to finish a few short stories.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

It's time to reintroduce The Chronicles of Nerezia as a whole <3 With FRAGMENTED releasing on October 9 and concluding Disc One, I thought we could go back to some basics. Always feels weird to try to encompass so much in so little words 💚 DISCOUNTED ON ITCH: itch.io/s/200863/fra...

Only two dice still in my dice soap! 🎲

I've been decorating for Hallowe'en in Second Life! Should have a nice clear month to visit the stuff people have set up.

LibraryThing has a cake hunt going on. I'm a completionist, so hunting the cakes (I have a few). www.librarything.com/hunt/45
