Crying in 'my first book was published in 2017'.

And then with my first novel in 2020, it seemed like tordotcom abandoned it because of the pandemic. I did more publicity and outreach than they did, and I didn't even do that much.

And we can tell, people, when you don’t actually believe this. We see it in how you act even when you think you’re hiding it.

Work on yourselves.

It looks phenomenal. I can't wait.

The gaming industry needs to fuck off with loot boxes and microtransactions and C-suite bonuses, and instead start lobbying for UBI so we have time to play their games.

CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH! 💜

I have a vague plan for a sequel (or sequels) set like 20 years after the events of the first trilogy. I'd love to get back to that universe one day, but I'm not ready yet.

Yeah, I should really do a will. Hard to get around to it when you're pretty sure you're immortal.

Maybe I should wear this for the Monsterfuck launch (www.eventbrite.com.au/e/monsterfck...) because that's on a Thursday, which is shot day, and the dress would look even cuntier with like a hot pink bandaid peeking out through the slit.

I just realized I never showed you this, did I? You'll understand why I had to display these two things together if you know how @coreyjwhite.com and I started writing or have read the story that we won it for. I can't believe we even got it published let alone won an award for it. It feels good.

1984 was an inside job!

Ozymandias is out of babyjail after getting his vaccines, so now he and Bunny are just chasing each other around the house, Keystone Cops style. It's adorable.

Sounds incredibly interesting! Can't wait. And congrats! 🎉💜

Publisher's Marketplace Deal Report: "Essayist Kassandra Jo Tomaras's ATTACK HELICOPTER MOTHER, a meditation-in-essays on the author's journey as the transgender mother of two transgender children within an intensifying political climate, following her efforts to arrive at an inclusive definition of motherhood rooted not in biology but in respect for autonomy and care, to Jeanne Thornton at Feminist Press, in a nice deal, for publication in fall 2027, by Rach Crawford at Wolf Literary Services."

Things have finally calmed down enough that I feel comfortable sharing some good news. Despite what Publisher's Marketplace says here, @jeannethornton.bsky.social and I are actually aiming to get this out by May 2027.

It's good! You want this book on your radar/TBR.

It's going to be a fever dream in the best way possible. A project literally 26 years in the making.

Would the basilisk have nuns?

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.

Does anyone have a link to this essay?

I wonder if the mining corporation that acts as our TV channels and the mining corporation that acts as our government have ever explored each other's bodies of untapped mineral reserves

And *that's* why you don't work at NASA anymore!

Her: What is this?
Me: It's me skeet, miss.
Her: It's not a good skeet though, is it?
Me, hanging my head in shame: No, miss, it's not.
Her: I expect a dozen shitposts better than this before the end of the day.
Me, dragging my feet as I walk away: Yes, miss. Sorry, miss.

Glorious! 🗡💜

You're gorgeous 💜

Totes poggers

it would be so poggers if any of the people running my country would say "hey the war crimes that america and israel are doing are bad, like war crimes are. and if they don't stop doing them we will sanction them like we sanction other countries that do human rights violations & war crimes"

Hey, mate, stop that! Would Dom Toretto punch *his* missus? No, of fucking course not! Be better. Be a man Dom Toretto could be proud of.
