Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

The House with Good Bones Audiobook by @tkingfisher.com feels like what I would imagine it would be like if @thebloggess.bsky.social were to narrate a horror novel. The accent, the unflinching wit, the slow descent into societal horror. It's all there. #horrorbooks #horrorwriters

Three people on an ancient stairway, a woman and two men. The woman is higher up staring down at them with a look of indifference. The caption is of them addressing her as "Woman, demon, countess, or whatever the hell you are..."

Golden book cover with a little blonde girl in a blue dress is sitting on a rainbow rug and playing yarn with a white kitten. She says "Everyday is a fresh new horror."

T swift and Kelce embracing. T swift has "Everyone" labelled on her and Kelce has "Trump's eventual obituary" on him.

Black and white antique looking drawing of immigrants on the deck of an ocean liner looking towards the statue of Liberty. She is tired looking and behind her is flames. Ships in the harbor are also on fire.

Okay is this crazy or is this crazy? I wrote a dystopian short story and had an illustration commissioned by @ozmwizart.bsky.social last year. This mural was just revealed in France. I'm shook. #WritingCommunity #BlueskyWriters

"My space obsessed 2 year old just got this book today and has spent the better part of the day running around saying"Icy Uranus" and I am just trying to hold it together.' An image of a child's book that reads "Icy Uranus seems really quite shy. it looks a bit weird spinning on one side."

Top image an illustration of slaves crammed into a slave ship. Bottom image shirtless men crammed together with their hands atop their head sitting on the floor. They are the men that Trump deported to an El Salvador prison without due process. In the middle reads "160 years and we haven't learned a god damned thing."

ChatGPT knows... #TrumpTariffs
Yeah, fair enough. It’s like he thinks tariffs are some genius business move instead of a tax on Americans that often backfires. But hey, economic literacy has never been his strong suit.

A friendly reminder that will drive MAGA crazy: "America the Beautiful" was written by Katharine Lee Bates, who was, in fact, a lesbian and in a long-term relationship with Katharine Coman for 25 years. #PrideHistory #LoveHistory #History #Herstory

First page of some research I did back in 2012 for a dystopian I was writing and never finished. Never thought I would be living through my own version of a dystopian nightmare. #WritersCommunity

#Resist
His aim isn't to cut off Medicaid and Meals on Wheels and school lunches. That's not what he's doing. He's committing acts so horrible that they force state attorney generals, judges, and other organizations to block his orders in the courts. Once they do that, he can appeal and appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court. He's forcing the court to make decisions on these matters knowing they will vote in his favor and further define the powers of the presidency. He's doing this to consolidate more power so he can rule without limits.
