Loving the Alien is the Easiest Thing in the World - Small Wonders You had no idea if the alien was your kind of guy (or even if it was a guy at all), but sometimes Cupid has a funny way with those arrows.

Partial screen capture of an unknown speaker on Threads that reads "[missing text] first person POV and misogyny. Which is not to say that anyone who prefers third person, or even won't read first person is a misogynist. But the narrative [text cut off]"

Yes! I just finished reading it last month for the first time, and I was SO impressed at the monster's patience and determination!

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Beautiful piece 💓

Amazing poem!

Transparency ftw!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

A mid blue background with an illustration of a wizard with bob-length orange hair and blue starry robes with knee-high bright pink socks laying on their stomach across the bottom. Along the top is a white banner with blue text that says "comprehensive & actionable". Beneath that in large white gothic font reads "SHORT STORY EDITING & FEEDBACK". In the bottom right beside the wizard is smaller white text that says "$10 AUD / 1000 words". A pink speech bubble sits atop that, with dark pink handwriting that says "I am nice and honest!! Promise!!"

I offer short story editing & feedback for $10AUD per 1000 words
