I used Brite and it was so easy. Cheap too, which is always a bonus. Highly recommend.

Musicians really don’t need to issue a press release telling politicians to stop using their music. It’s obvious that the politicians want the free media. I know they want their listeners to know where they stand, but the fans know, if they’re really fans. Just sue β€˜em.

Wishing a trans girl happy international women’s day will mean more to them than you can realize. Real gender euphoria.

I self-dx autistic in my late 30s (no formal yet because cost of living is insane at the moment) and I'm still angry that I felt like a broken neurotypical for so long rather than knowing I have a different brain. It's for this reason I was so relieved that my kid got dx in grade 4 (his dad's adhd).

Also while I was fighting despair by sorting laundry and watering plants I want to say Happy International Women's Day to the women and especially the women who are in the closet about that

It's your day! Even if it's a secret

Happy International Women's Day! Why not celebrate by buying more books? Add to your ever-growing TBR pile, support women (and female-presenting authors) in the indie publishing industry! It's a win-win situation tbh

Two men against a library shelf backdrop. The shorter of the two, Ambrose, has glasses, fair skin, and red hair and wears a dark button-up. His chin is being tilted upward by the taller of the two, Renwick. Renwick has dark brown hair, pale skin, and is holding Ambrose's chin. He wears an open white shirt and many rings and necklaces. A line extends from Renwick, pointing to text that reads: "you are fascinating..."

Finished! Just as delightful as the first book! I thoroughly enjoyed it and love this world and characters the author has created. If you want a queer fantasy, I highly recommend this book series!

Thanks @fozmeadows.bsky.social !!

Well, I didn't intend to completely overhaul Pantheon. And then I started reworking one section and next thing I knew, I was doing the outline from scratch πŸ˜…

I've switched to Ellipsus recently after years of using Google Docs and man, it's a relief. I can set it as dark mode, the interface is less cluttered, and it even has a focus mode. I swear the developers looked at ND people and said "how can we help?". So much better.

There's this boomer guy tenderly helping his very elderly dad to a chair in the Cafe I'm in and it was just so heartwarming. The guy clearly loves his dad and it makes a nice change to see.

If you're writing a book, I can't recommend Story Genius by Lisa Cron enough. It's brilliant and will reframe the way you look at your story in a way that will make it so much better.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

AFRAID TO SPEAK FREELY β€” FREEDOM IN THE ARTS

Gosh. Just *shocked* to discover that "Freedom in the Arts" isn't actually an artistic freedom org.
It's a GC org with a sideline in Islamophobia and racism.
Because of course it is.
