Trying to afford paying both for Scrivener 3 and the Clip Studio update right now is just… stupid.
Being an artist is so expensive.
If anyone wants a redline commission… that actually covers part of the price for scrivener 🥲 #commissions

Day three of my under-loved #TransRightsReadathon recs is for fans of short stories! (Including those fans who have yet to be converted!) Including two lovely all-ages collections (Alia Terra & Cinrak the Dapper)
I’m too much of an introvert to go on a #book tour so I’m sending this #Haiku Machine out into the world for me. If you’ve got a space that can host a residency in Metro #Detroit, drop me a line, I’ll split the quarters with you. katherinemontalto.com/haiku-machine/

Might not hurt to ask the home if a virtual option is available for those who can't attend. And, I was surprised how much the flag folding ceremony meant to me; it explains a lot about how soldiers feel about the flag (esp. vs. performative patriots).
So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?
Post links if you can.
Buy stuff if you can.
They hate when people stand up.

This is why I dislike conspiracy theories about evil shadow cabals secretly running things
It makes scapegoats that can’t be punished/held accountable/changed, & gives the ppl in power WAY too much credit—they’re not Evil Masterminds, they’re just incompetent negligent & hateful ppl w lots of money
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
TODAY IS THE DAY, consider getting your copy!
This is the energy I'm here for, yespls~
It's interesting that proponents of AI continue to miss the point that AI is not sufficient for comprehensive work. An excerpt does not a NOVEL make. An excerpt does not an ODE make. There's a certain techbro/motivational speaker whiff to this that conflates a collation of platitudes with artistry.
I know LibreOffice is related to OpenOffice, and I feel like I ended up on LO because OO wasn't updating at one point?
And yeeeess, I'm surprised more people don't talk about Focus Writer. Such a perfect little tool!

General strike until congress exercises its authority and halts the war in Iran.
People around the country are calling out ICE. Ppl are paying more attention than what they are used to.
So “let’s make them mad at Dems for not voting to give ICE $$$ and ruining their trip to see nana”
And we (as a collective) fall for it every single time.
Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter of The Roots joins Gorillaz on SNL.
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Hello! One month from today I’m releasing my new book about our majestic universe, which thinks with poetry, quantum physics, relativity, Zhou kingdom philosophy, galaxies, particles, Akan aphorisms, Black feminism, Star Trek, Alice in Wonderland. AND it’s for all readers. 📚💙
Please preorder it! 🧵
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
As an editor & an anthropology kid, this suggests 2 things to me:
1. Likely more a reflection on education, particularly the gutting of the humanities, than literary culture.
2. Diversity is solely seen as a fight with oppression rather than as an opportunity for new experiences & perspectives.
I am absolutely okay being left behind in some movements. You kids have fun.
LOOK WHAT I GOT
I have been saving up bookstore credit for the #TransRightsReadathon, and a few of my orders came in this week!
Celestial Monsters by Aiden Thomas I have already read (from the library), but I picked it up to try to get my kids to read it. The rest are for my Readathon TBR!
Recently was trying to understand the "Uncle Tom" conversation my culture has been having for generations, and I'm trying to fathom what the archetype looks like; and, my Boomer Parent opened their mouth and stuck their foot in, and now I know 😑 I get the problem.
