Just finished reading good girl, bad blood. The way I just LOVE the vibes I get from reading this trilogy is insane

I was going to start this post with, “not to brag..” but actually, that would be a lie. So let me begin truthfully:

To brag, the latest printing of my poetry book comes with an important additional line of text on the cover. Read it and weep, y’all! https://bit.ly/SomeThingsMC

do you consider your self made?

It's that time again. You need a Hanukkah (or other) gift for someone in your family, and the data points you have are that they are peculiar, a reader, and/or simply gay and in need of something to make them not feel like wet garbage right now. (Alternatively, perhaps this is you.)

Let me recommend to you the one-size-fits-all: a short story collection by an indie author (perhaps even from an indie shop, where you can get it signed!), ranging from the very-short to the not-so-short, covering all manner of queer & monstrous folk trying to get by in a world that believes they are Not Right. Sometimes the problem is homophobia, and some of the time it is fuckoff giant robots. The day is not always saved, but there is hope aplenty and you will laugh as much as you cry. I wrote the first edition of this book very long ago now and there is a lot of youthful innocence and experimentation in it.

But don't take my word for it—check out the GoodReads or Storygraph reviews, or read three of the stories for free! More info (press and bonus buy links) here. Thank you for buying and sharing!

Now that I know more about writing, I'm upset at all the writing advice that urged new writers to find the one best way to write stories, when they should be telling us to play with writing techniques like toys.

Don't tell us to avoid certain points of view! Don't box us into the one currently popular prose style! Let us play and see what effects different techniques achieve, so we can learn the best ways to make use of them! Give us a whole ton of possibility instead of one cookie-cutter template!

About yesterday, graduation day

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

was pinning each book from my Goodreads "To-read" shelf so that my grandma can access them, when suddenly Pinterest wouldn't let me pin anything. Not the AP Style Guide, not Sir Gibbie, nothing.

then in my Reports & Violations center, I discover they have deactivated my pin of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier (which is a #1 bestseller) for "Hateful activities"

and now apparently I'm not allowed to pin anything at all

saw someone being like "lol every book is a bestseller, nytimes will call anything a best seller, whats the point of bestseller lists when every book is on it"

and like,,, bro ur so close to realizing that the publishing industry only pushes their already-popular and/or most predictable insta-hit titles to the point that everything else is drowned out and that if you only look at walmart or the front of the bookstore or what's popular on tiktok then thats all ur gonna see,,,

just a bit of critical thinking cmon you can do it,,,,
