How do we grieve the internet as it used to be? How do I stop seeing a future like the one I dreamed of as a kid? The doom is hitting hard tonight and I find myself screaming for answers.

Two grad students decide to work together to summon an ancient deity for their master’s thesis and it goes terribly, horribly wrong.
Time to eat your vegetables again y'all! What's a one-sentence elevator pitch for your book? If you need help, [thing] meets [thing] is a great baseline. #WritingPrompt

What if God was real but hated humanity and only showed up when he really wanted to get you pregnant ??
What’s the weirdest “what if” question that inspired one of your stories? #writingq #WritingCommunity

I have 34 poems in my collection so far and about four essays. Trying to get that number to 50 poems and 10 essays! Then I start the process of photography and painting 😮💨
I wanted this out my Valentine’s Day but it’s definitely going to take another year of work.
So it goes! We march on!

I’ve made art about my domestic abuse situation before. But I’m writing a very blunt nonfiction essay now and it feels very real suddenly.
Who knew that writing a collection of poems and personal essays meant getting vulnerable, emotional, and personal? Go figure.

Something I touch on is how people view genderqueer presentation intersected with race. So ☕️ either gets emasculated or treated dismissively, while 🫖 is treated very delicately and is heavily sexualized.
☕️ is always futilely fighting these interactions, while 🫖 leans into it to get what he wants.

I think all queer authors (especially my indie peeps) should personally email @warren.senate.gov to tell her exactly how devastating this is for our community. Supporting KOSA is an act of violence against our community and I’m tired of pretending that it’s not.
Hi @warren.senate.gov just to be crystal clear I never wanna see you at Boston Pride again prancing around in a feather boa.
By cosponsoring #KOSA you are actively helping the Trump admin take away lifesaving resources from LGBTQ youth.
We asked you to meet with our coalition. You ignored us.

The first season of Stranger Things meant SOOO much to me when it first came out. Literally changed my brain chemistry and got me through a really dark time. I hate that the shows quality has decayed so much since then :(

Reading widely means reading stuff you would normally never read btw. So memoirs of people you’ve never heard of, fiction titles from genres you don’t write in, tropes you hate, the whole shebang. You have to explore. You have to get uncomfortable. You have to get weird.
