It's 100% true.

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

I think this book is the one I’d recommend to every single woman. Teenage girls need to read it. Start early.

Women have been socialized completely out of trusting our instincts. I tweeted yesterday that emotions are a COMPASS. And you should not suppress them

This book will stay with you #booksky

It’s heartbreaking. Houston used to be home to the literal rocket scientists and the largest medical center in the world—they coordinated medical experiments in space—and within 10 years, the state will be drained of science, and the universities will be backwaters. On purpose.

That cover is gorgeous

I found the first art I did for Adam and Eve! I lost the manuscript when my old laptop died on me, but I still remember what I wrote.

Now, I just need to remember if I backed up any of the Lilith art.

Realizing I don’t take enough videos of myself actually.

I’m making progress 😌

Musk and Bezos Declare The National Labor Relations Board Unconstitutional They tried it before, but now they're doing it as a team. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos filed a lawsuit in the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that the National Relations Board is unconstitutional....

Musk and Bezos are both in big trouble for how they treat their employees — both unionized and non-union.

Instead of taking responsibiity for how they treat their workers, they’re trying to destroy the agencies that protect them. www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

Jemisin is one of the most important writers of our time. And this series is one of the most important stories you could read as people on a planet we are actively destroying. Also make sure to check out the link I posted for the special editions shown below!

2. Living legend by Allie shante: i love Dani and nick. Also the fact that they instantly thought the other was cute had me giggling. I got on the waitlist for the butterfly book box to get the special edition they are doing. Check out their instagram!

My currents reads and thoughts on them:
1. The songbird and the heart of stone by Carissa broadbent: enjoying the journey through the underworld. However was not prepared for the religious trauma in this book. Still a really good read though.

This is a CM Nascosta story.

Reposting this here for authors and readers (thanks @clioevansauthor.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention) so we know what we’re up against and why BlueSky will become one of the few places we can promote spicy book content (more in comments since I can only post 4 pics)

Roughly 400 Books Removed From Wilson County School Libraries District removes books including ‘The Bluest Eye,’ ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and Dr. Seuss’ ‘Wacky Wednesday’ to comply with state law

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.

If you’ve been wondering how to best support authors of LGBTQ+ books during these tough times:

I posted 15 suggestions for ways to help (and 5 things that might be even harmful) over on my website: jae-fiction.com/how-to-suppo...

Time to follow some LGBTQ+ taboo authors! If you want to be added to this list, hit me up!

📚We're reopening to unagented manuscripts in January. We really encourage LGBTQ+ folk, marginalised and underrepresented writers, disabled, non-London based authors, authors over 40, and writers from working class backgrounds to submit to us.

A new diversity baseline survey, showcasing the statistics of diversity in publishing (rather the lack there of) has just been released.

Not surprising but they say there is a major lack of diversity in executive and leadership positions in the writing community
