OUR INDUSTRY WILL DIE IF WE CAN'T STEAL YOUR WORK BUT EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY CREATED NOTHING OF VALUE

The most concerning thing in this Playplace is not the ball pit pee!

New story is out in Flash Point:

hi, cis folks!

this is present day reality for UK trans folks. it’s outrageous someone should have to have taken this journey to live as themselves, participate in society, & be with who they love.

hi, cis americans!

this is a future trans americans see that starts with “we need to compromise.”

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

I am honored to be a part of this project! Please check out this anthology, which contains my story about a morally concerning opera singer making bad tea and worse decisions.

Was it Journey to the End of the Night? I played in Chicago, and it was like a city-wide game of sharks and minnows with strange murals as checkpoints. The game started at 7pm, so it got darker and darker as we made weird friends and ran on illegal parts of Lakeshore Drive and generally had a blast.

Absolutely honored and flabbergasted to announce that one of my earliest and favorite stories, "Still Kicking," is going to be out in Wrath Month!

This makes me sad because I liked that show, but I’m not interested in S2 if they’re going to use AI. I wrote “Through the Machine” so people will push back on this crap before it becomes the norm. It’s not too late. #noaiart

Cheering you on.

How do you feel about multiple subs? Might have a second taco bell piece.

@innerworlds.bsky.social Hey! Asking for some writers - if we hear back, is it ok to resubmit during the same reading period?

Creative work in general pays far less than people think it does, especially relative to the notability one can have. The correlation between "fame" and "income" is rather shaky, especially the further down you go on the fame power curve. Lots of "world famous" creators are broke as hell.
