I, Rhiannon Grist, am not your boss. I am incapable of making you fill out your timesheet, answer your emails, or preorder my cottagegore horror HOME SICK coming out with @solarisbooks.bsky.social in 2026.

So only do it if you want to. Preorder, I mean.

You should probably do your timesheets.

If you're a writer, I'd go so far as to say it's essential reading to develop your craft, to dig deep into your characters and their emotions (as well as your own), and to go eyeball-close with your line edits!

God, how I hate what kind of society we are becoming... Btw, we can stop it, it depends on us: which kind of world we create, which kind of community we foster, which kind of cities we live in. You can help @argonautbooks.bsky.social by sharing wide and far!

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around.

Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it.
