Oh and it only gets MORE bonkers from there!!
L. Frank Baum wants you to know him as the ‘Royal Historian of Oz’, but I know the truth. He’s really King of the Retcon, and I will be filing official complaints in the Court of Literature.

Hand drawn map of the fictional Land of Oz
Also, not gonna jinx anything, just gonna put up this Baum accurate map of the Land of Oz I made today:
I have questions for Aaron Sorkin. Mainly why he seems so determined to depict experienced and educated women as high schoolers. That being said, Marcia Gay Harden describing herself as ‘liquid sex’ remains one of my favorite line deliveries of all time. #thenewsroom
Look, I haven’t read Wuthering Heights. And granted, Fennell took some big swings and made big cuts. But she’s a filmmaker, and ‘artistic license’ is a term for a reason. Maybe we all just chill out and not expect *any* art to be 100% crowd-pleasing or faithful recreations of what inspired them.
Taylor Swift wonders, ‘Who uses typewriters anyway?’
Answer: Neurodivergent writer girlies who go hard for tactile feedback
Just over a thousand words written in an hour. Writer’s block can kiss my ass. 😘
Money well spent imho 😘
I thought @xiranjayzhao.bsky.social wrote my favorite book with ‘Iron Widow’. Then I read its sequel ‘Heavenly Tyrant’… I cannot overemphasize the raw power and brilliance of this series. A *must* read. #bookrecs
I’m gonna need you to show your work on this one
If it’s not a labor of love I’m not fucking doing it.
It was Christopher Eccleston not Keanu Reeves, but close enough. (Unless there’s another girl in the picture I don’t know about!!)
Such an honour to be making my second appearance in LSQ with a little сказка (fairy tale) for my favourite mermaid, @erswrites.bsky.social! Be sure to check it out alongside the whole treasure chest of riches in this double-stuffed issue.
Reading the Geneva Bible in platform heels so it’s * ~ C U N T ~*
Finally deleted my fb account. Took me far too long to be honest.
For non-journalism features do you require a CV/writing example?
Hey novelists— how do you deal with the fear of not writing fast enough? I would *love* to be able to churn out a short story in a week. As it is I’ve been working on the same novel for a good *seven years* 😓 Is it just me??
Another reason to keep your girlfriend around (cuz she most certainly does 😘 )
Speed reading this book in inconsistent chunks because…ya know…I have ADD 😅 (Still a genuinely helpful read!!) #add #adhd
Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly. My contribution:
A Hungarian noblewoman is slandered for centuries and accused of crimes she totally might have done, but also maybe she didn’t? 👀🧐🤷♀️ Also the author is a queer woman with familial trauma and you can *totally* tell.
Finally started Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. NOT for the faint of heart!!
Slow River by @nicolaz.bsky.social completely transformed me. Criminally underrated, should be much higher on everyone’s list of ‘must read’ LQBTQ+ fiction.
Here at Tin House, we believe that by nurturing the artist, we nurture the art! Let us experience your art and apply for the 2025 #THSW. In addition to our General Scholarships, we offer many community-focused awards such as the scholarship for Trans Writers.

So proud of @reyzlgrace.bsky.social for featuring on @thirtywestph.com TW TALES last night! 🥰📖
Apparently there are reports of ICE in Minneapolis. Be careful out there today, y'all. Don't talk to them, don't snitch, and know your rights: www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
Today will be a tough day for a lot of Americans. To all the queer folks feeling despondent, please take care of yourselves today. Check in with a friend, make yourself a warm drink. Hang in there. You are not alone. 💖🏳️🌈
"Reyzele," you said. "We love your poems, but we yearn for something new and different," you said. So this morning--with profound thanks to @erswrites.bsky.social and her multi-coloured hair--I give you... a сказка (Russian-style fairy tale).
