Petition: Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender. We believe the government should change legislation to make it easier for trans people of all ages to change their legal gender without an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

Right.

Transphobic asshats have got a petition to repeal the GRA to over 10,000 signatures. Fuck that. Let's get this one higher:

The 4 book Empire of Ruin series with an all-new expanded version of In Solitude's Shadow. "Wheel of Time meets The Witcher with Queer and Neurodiverse Characters."

I need to fix my back, and unlike some of the people in these books, I'm not magical (sadly)!

Sweeping scope paired with character-driven focus, come read about a group of people doing their best in the face almost-impossible odds while fanning the last embers of hope.

the main image is of a vintage typewriter with paper inserted. Sarah Elliott is pictured in the inset box; she's a black woman with a wide smile.

Querying and trad-pub journeys aren't for everyone, especially in genre fiction. @sarahelliottwriter.bsky.social is here with some (LOTR-themed) tips to get you through the self-publishing journey.

After 3-4 months of no writing (due to the move on to a house boat) this month has been about trying to nurture the habit, and finding my voice again. It’s been hard, but progress is being made πŸ‘

First month on the house boat, 5 leaks in the heating fixed, wood burner fixed, 1 window resealed (4 more to clean up and re-seal) rib muscles torn, days in pain. Zero writing done. But it’s getting there. House boat is becoming a Home boat.

It’s been nearly 3 weeks since I moved on to my house boat. It’s been hard work, the wrong season for this huge change, but slowly I’m getting used to it. Once my wood burner is working I can see myself being comfortable enough to sneak writing back in to my routine.

Wow, I’ve been quiet on here. On a writing hiatus while I get settled in to living in a house boat. Expect nerdy, fantasy writing posts and frustrated rants about electrical systems on boats.

A screenshot of a tweet from San Antonio’s local newspaper, The Express News (@ExpressNews). The text reads, β€œSen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns.” Below the text is a link card featuring a photo of the aforementioned Cancun-loving demagogue, holding a microphone up to his undeniably punchable face.
