I'm not sure if I'll continue to use BlueSky or not, but I do recall the friends I made between here and Twitter, and would like to find a way to stay in touch.
Not sure how to do that, but still.
Moreover, the subject matter of my novella-series, will hopefully deter any and all publishers.
A pro-anarchist anti-capitalist written work should not be published by bourgeoise scum in boardrooms.
I'll be doing the writing (duh), but will work with others for art and editing and such.
However, in addition to the writing, I am also going to learn book-binding! The aforementioned rise in ay-aye has given me pause about having my work available digitally, and so I'll bind each book personally.
With regard to my writing, I have taken much time and thought and have a full map (mentally), as well as doing some sort of networking.
Due to the rise of ay-aye scrapers, bots, and the general enshittification of social media, I will be pursuing a 90% DIY publishing method.

I am not dead!
After some institutionalization, an abusive relationship, and more than one s*icide attempt, I return from my long detox.
Am I better? Nope, just alive.
I regret to report that I think my mental illness and suicidality is finally getting the better of me

Recent advances in weaponry, including the gatling and iron ships, and travel, such as the colossi of the air- the zeppelin, have accelerated the march of time on the continent
With technology advancing rapidly continent, and war brewing, many of these beasts risk extinction
Map by Dewi Hargreaves
the underused and underdiscussed folklore and myths of the many Indigenous peoples who call the Americas home.
You will see no dragons, or any other overdone beast from myth or yore, instead you'll encounter the jackalope, the Chaffee spider, the hodag, the tribal Frogmen, and many more 2/3
Friends, allow me to introduce you to the world map for The Death Spiral novel series, the unnamed continent.
Too often does fantasy rely on tropes and motifs from only 3 of our own continents (Europe, Asia, Africa). But here, the world takes from US, MEX, CAN, folklores, as well as from 1/3
Cool thing about being a man, queer, Atheist, approaching 30, and having a mental illness with a very high suicide rate, is that the cards are very much stacked against me everyday
It's getting harder and harder not to fold
Giving a white supremacist piece of garbage a moment of silence at football games, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and removing any media that dares speak remotely ill of Daddy Trump (seriously, Kimmel's comment was so grade school).
The United States is a fascist nation ran by a Pedo in Chief
Remember comrades, dialogue is only useful if your opponent doesn't already wish you dead
The thing I did.
Listen - I can explain, my friends were pondering possible pride skin ideas for Marvel Rivals, and then they proceeded to beg me to draw the Thing in leather daddy gear... I couldn't refuse them.
I'm praying a modder sees it and makes it a mod skin for pc lmao #MarvelRivals
The new record from Aquilla is a bonafide album of the year contender full-stop. From the awesome cover art to the final note of the last track, you're treated to heavy metal goodness.

I... have started writing again.
It's the first time in nearly a year that I've actually felt inspired enough to write something of substance.
I have something pretty gosh-darn nifty to share with you all soon.
We back up.
Like damn, it's even just regular people that I work with.
Had no idea how many people were closeted racists
I forgot how conservative Facebook was🙄
I've had people crying over a fascist for two days now. They compared him to Jesus Christ (which seems blasphemous to me idk).
Sucks I hate using social media, or I'd just completely migrate here
An image of a dark skinned South Asian man screaming in triumph in front of a burning motorcycle, with more protesters further in the background. White text is overlaid atop the bottom of the image that reads "Gen-Z led protests erupt in Nepal following social media ban, which prompted the resignation of Nepal's Prime Minister".
All power to our brothers and sisters in Nepal, for protesting against censorship and government corruption.
One struggle, one people✊️
“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.
Nah, he aint getting no sympathy from me
He's a monster
Authors should NOT stay out of politics
Authors in politics is partly the reason why the atrocities of the Congo Free State became widely known. The efforts of Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, etc, helped to shed light on the brutality of treatment the Congolese people underwent.
Never stay silent

My birthday is a week from today and there's literally only one thing I want. Okay, TWO things. One of them is out of your control. We just gotta hope it happens (if it hasn't already).
The other? Well, you could buy my books, read my books, or leave a review👀)
Please note my books are WEIRD
When you write friends, keep in mind our current climate
Censor every swear word and any word that could possibly carry a negative connotation so you dont offend our puritan overlords
Fake profiles and bots have always been bad, but now they're so ubiquitous with social media that it makes it a chore to use.
Dictating what words I use in each post to ensure that the bots dont pick it up, which also hides it from the real people who I want to see it
Theyre fine, but a lot of them aren't really triangles in my viewpoint
Person A loves Person B
Person B loves Person C
Person C loves Person A
Proper love triangle would be A loves B and C, B loves A and C, and C loves A and B
Back on my writing bullshit*
*Asking randoms on Reddit for validation, because im thinking of quitting haha
The uptick in censorship within the United States is worrying and horrifying
I am taking a stand against censorship, and announce proudly that my DEATH SPIRAL novel series will be unapologetically Adult.
There would be no heavy metal without the early shock rockers like these guys and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Trust me when I say that you are *not* prepared for this dude's entrance

I'd like to be more politically active on Bsky, but i have no filter and will post my legitimate opinions and feelings on the current administration, and probably get arrested by his secret police in the process.
