Hello followers! I write SFF, and am currently working on revising two novels at the moment, a Blade Runner meets Princess Mononoke SF, and post-apocalyptic gaslamp fantasy with romance. @bsfwriters.bsky.social has taught me almost everything I know and has great free resources for writers.

Toni Morrison, correctly, of course, said that “Writing to me is an advanced and slow form of reading. If you find a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” If you’re afraid of trusting your reader, you’re afraid of trusting your own writing.
If you want to write anything good, you cannot afford to be afraid of your reader.

The Facebook suggested-content-algorithm is the most unhinged, consistently disturbing imagery I've ever seen. Maybe time for FB to cease to exist.

I just want to say that 1) AltWatcher is doing the lord's work and 2) the altnps account, in my opinion, needs to be outright banned - and I don't say that merely because I loathe it, but because it's unbelievably unhealthy for this fake, plagiarizing, qanon-lite account to have this influence.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Reading rec inquiry: Does anyone have stories about cutting someone off (justifiably) and then that person *earning* being allowed back into the community/life/etc? Not in a handwavy 'of course Id forgive you eventually!' logic but that the person must make real reconciliations
