But also truly if you are a writer and/or editor and are interested in donating a virtual reward such as a crit or chat we'd greatly appreciate it!

Hi, lovers of queer SFF! Over at @othersidespec.bsky.social, we’re planning ahead for our Kickstarter, and we’re looking for writers who might be willing to donate virtual rewards (think story/query crit, Zoom chat). Is this (potentially) you? If so, we would love to talk to you—send me a DM! 🪐 🗡️ 🌈

I want to be buff and have muscles, but I don't like going to the gym, so I am soft and squishy. Having AI lift the weighs for me accomplishes nothing. What I like to do with my time is write and draw, so I'm good at writing and drawing. Those are the kind of weights I lift, so I am strong this way.

When the intent of a ruling oppressive power is to starve the body and soul of its people so they can't fight back, you have to find ways to fuel the fire. It's why resistance and underground art is historically so important. But you have to not just make art, but make space for others to do it.

Making art under a fascist regime can feel impossible. Can feel unimportant. But it keeps the spirit alive.
