instead of promoing all of my nothing, i'll just encourage people to check out the #TransRightsReadathon which starts next week! #QueerWritersChat

#QueerWritersChat There are SEVEN chapters left to post in The Witch of Eden Hollow! Things are starting to heat up, but it's not too late to start or catch up!

A 4-foot tall snowman wearing a red scarf and a red hat, with two thin sticks for arms, sits on the snow-covered lawn in front of a pale brick house. Several small, snow-covered cedar trees planted in a row in front of a fence are visible along the left of the frame.
We didn't have any snow this morning ...
#QueerWritersChat
Absolutely not. I don't think I could hack it as a factory worker on an asteroid in space OR a spy.
I'll stick to writing about that kind of stuff!
#QueerWritersChat
Well, the ex- part of the whole ex-spy thing might be in serious jeopardy. It's a whole "one more job" type plot.
#QueerWritersChat
Sort of! He's an ex-spy, now working whatever jobs he can after getting caught and having to go on the run. Right now, he's lying low at a factory job.
Hello #QueerWritersChat! I'm Cherry, hopping in a bit late tonight because I've got a sick little one on my hands! Hoping to get back to my latest WIP (a sci-fi m/m romance) at some point!
The data drops as Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a moratorium on datacenter construction. 'We need to take a deep breath. We need to make sure that AI and robotics work for all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.'

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

If you live under the government of Canada and you're afraid of US health insurance parasites sinking their claws into out healthcare with the help of scumbags like Danielle Smith and Doug Ford, you can take action here: www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca/index.php/ev...
This week has been an absolute trash fire (migraine, rush project deadlines, friends in the hospital, toddler teething, etc.), BUT I sent a book to Editor, and I started a second round of revisions on another one, which is honestly more than I thought I'd get done.
I wish everyone at Grammarly a very expensive lawsuit.
SCOOP: The writing software Grammarly will discontinue its AI “Expert Review” feature, which used the names of authors without their permission to suggest edits. But parent company Superhuman is still facing a class-action lawsuit over it, brought by journalist @juliaangwin.com.

An overhead view of a homemade two-tier birthday cake, with a large, pink "2" piped in the center, sitting on a white cake stand. A ring of pink and dark purple icing flowers surround it, before cascading down the side of the cake. Several rice paper butterflies, in pink, yellow, and teal, complete the "garden" look of the cake.
This was my big project for the weekend: a birthday cake for my toddler! Little one asked me for a green cake, which worked out well with our garden tea party theme. Added some pink and purple flowers and some rice paper butterflies to top it off.
Thank you!
Reflooding bogs is a great way to help with sitting water AND fight climate change
BRING BACK THE BOG
Thank you!
Yeah, the market is tough! I'm sorry you're in a similar boat. I'm focusing on booking some freelance stuff, so I'll see how it goes! All we can do.
#queerwriters check-in day:
I broke my goals pretty much immediately, because I got laid off on Monday, which is exactly the kind of nonsense I was hoping to avoid.
Things are okay here, and I'm slowly getting back to writing.
Birthday party things for LO are happening now!
This week was crud, but I think I figured out a story that has been bothering me for literal years at this point. So there's that.
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
It has been a week, hasn't it?! The vibes have been all bad over here too. Hoping things settle for you soon. 🩷
Absolutely stunning.
Two years ago today, I was induced; it took another 36 hours and a c-section for my little one to be born.
Today, I'm baking cake. Gotta say, that is a LOT more fun than labor!
Cover Reveal: Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. Mockups of an ebook and paperback version of the book are shown. Above the books, text says “Follow the project on Kickstarter; launching April 1.” Below the books, text says “Cover Reveal; artwork by R.E. Murray.”
EXQUISITE UNDEAD is a forthcoming anthology of vampire fiction curated by @tallimorgan.bsky.social and is poised to be amazing! The Kickstarter opens in April but you can save this project now and be there as soon as it starts 🧛 🦇 #CoverReveal #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Oh, that cover art is gorgeous!!!
All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini
Just got one of those book-club scam emails, and they didn't even get the title of the book right in the subject line. 🤣
Day 4 of being laid off: I have booked 7 projects and gave one of my own drafts a first pass.
This is ... progress?
