This thread rules.

Experiencing secondhand stress from the amount of students who are coming in to see us with 0 sources and 0 direction for their research papers that are due this Sunday.

Illustrated fruits and vegetables against a light yellow background. The text reads: "One $5+ donation to the Akron-Canton Food Bank = One free ebook!", "akroncantonfoodbank.org; send proof of donation to elizamaresauthor@gmail.com"

Until SNAP benefits are restored, I'm offering FREE digital copies of my sci-fi novella, CAT/MOUSE, to anyone who donates $5 or more to my local food bank.

Had a weird Monday, on track to having a weird Tuesday.

In the style of a terrible clickbait ad. There's a very stereotypically-dressed vampire on the left (pale, black hair, cape with red lining) holding a copy of Dear Stupid Penpal. On the right it says "Romance? In MY queer horror book?" Beneath that: It's more likely than you think. As a fake yellow button with red words: PREORDER NOW!

Preorder DEAR STUPID PENPAL ✌️ store.tenebrouspress.com/products/dea...

Seeing a homeless person doesn't harm you in the slightest.

The only person harmed by being homeless is the homeless person. And here you are wanting to punish that person for being homeless.

The government shouldn't punish people for being poor. It should make them not poor anymore.

Texas Is a Lot More Queer Than You Think. I Am Too. There are 1.8 million of us, and we’re not going anywhere.

I wrote the first version of this draft almost exactly a year ago, but I wasn’t ready.

I am now.

This is a thread worth reading and heeding. If you don't buy it, it will disappear. If you're not giving modern sci-fi a chance, you're missing out on very special stories.

[And you really should pick up anything A.D. Sui writes.]

Sharing again for morning (for me at least) folks. I have a Halloween sale on my already out books. And since all of November will be devoted to promoting the novella prior to its debut, this will likely be the last time I spotlight these books for a while.

If you want to prevent crime, eliminate poverty. If you want to prevent violent crime, eliminate poverty and provide universal healthcare. Emma Goldman was almost right when she said every society has the criminals it deserves. In reality, every society has the criminals it creates.

Can I say, I love the Halloween colors this week!!!

I bring you a snip from Chapter 15 of THE DEVIL'S BIND, my free-to-read Wattpad serial about a 1950s secretary and the Demon Lord she is bound to after a cult tries to use her as a blood sacrifice. 💙📚

Editing is not about rewriting, but about helping a story be the best version of itself. That can mean making things clearer for the reader, but it can also mean making them less clear.

Again, not the most important here, but I'm begging for a journalist to figure out how/why NPS put up a Confederate statue DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. How is this "essential" when food stamps are not?

🆘🚨🆘🚨
Help is desperately needed!!!

There has been no movement on this, and Maya REALLY needs our help to survive and stay safe.

Let’s not let them fall through the cracks like too many have and are.

We have to be here for each other!

Reposts can make a huge difference even if you can’t donate!

Cover for Killer Debt: An Anthology of Murder on one side of a red blood splatter image. The other side of the image features the words “Have you ever wanted to die… in fiction? Dianna Gunn asked the Internet this question. Over 30 people said yes. These are their stories. Sacrificed to demons, killed by velociraptors, hacked to pieces by axe murderers—these are just a few of the deaths you'll find within these pages.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

to all cis women who are against HRT:

guess what most forms of birth control are
