Looking for book recs that touch on (at least partially) the theme of coming into your own gender identity after experiencing sexual trauma? Hoping for fiction / fantasy / horror but open to any and all genres. #bookrecs #queerbooks #LGBTBooks #Fiction

Not at the moment but thanks for asking!

Defects of the fairies Concentrated study Subtle and profound intellect and yet so innocent. An imposter Introduced him to Spirits who beguiled him With angels an Intervention And a partnership was established He Was much Hated as a wizard he still supported The Magnificent library. Weary of impostors but remaining blindly loyal to spirits though Sometimes the angels Went too far It did no good to Be largely vindicated.

For reference, the full line is:

“Looking back now, I wonder if all champions must come
from the subjection of others.”

Should I have used subjugation instead?

#writer #editors #betaread #authors

I just got a chapter back from a beta reader and a question was raised about a specific word I used. The word was subjection instead of subjugation because I was under the impression subjection is typically used to refer to people whereas subjugation was like, countries. Is that not accurate?

Captives in Fairyland. Mortals carried away detained stolen from his mother's side while believing that he had a chance of freedom in the end a sinister reason to sacrifice. Their own kind will be in danger too.

Image split in two, on the left a close up photo of a vampire with blood running down her face looking towards the right. On the right is a picture of a witch, looking towards the left. On the bottom of the image is the title of the book “The Vampiress of Melrose Abbey by Elowyn Barrett” Several ovals with movie award laurel crowns around them going down the seam of the split. They say, from the top down, “sapphic” “16th century Scotland” “Folk horror” and. “Feminine rage” Across the very top are the words “revenge to die for”

I accept that as a #Disabled person I am probably not going to survive the coming collapse of civilization. But I still fully plan to fight for my survival (and my comrades') till I drop.

It isn't hope or blind faith.

I believe the fight for justice is worth the salt... even if we lose in the end.

My dermatologist’s “budget” recommendation for a vitamin C serum she wants me to use is $30. It IS budget compared to the $70 one she originally recommended but still wildly outside of what I can afford. 🫠

Anyone have any cheaper recommendations for a good quality vitamin C serum?

“I was bound for the grave regardless. The only question left to me was if I’d be laid to rest six feet under, or if my body would become a grave from the loss.”

Whoops, I turned metal music on and now I’m sleepy.

Thanks, ADHD!

The Sunrise On the Reaping trailer gave me CHILLS!!

The cover of the Iliad by Homer, Translated by Emily Wilson

Homer’s favorite game is seeing how many different ways he can call a man attractive while complaining about it.

He’s a pro.

I’m attending my first critique group that’s specifically for Science Fiction and Fantasy this afternoon. I’m super excited!

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oooo, I’ll have to find that audiobook of that translation! I love Sir Ian Mckellen.

If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.

I just finished it for the first time! I read Emily Wilson’s version. Do you have a favorite translation you’d recommend if I were to read it again?

Rufus Shinra is one of if not the most annoying boss fight in FFVII omfggg

Is it on me for bringing a sword to a gun fight? Shut up, my gunman ran off after the cat.

Got my hands of a copy of @morgandaimler.bsky.social’s newest book! As a seelie wight enthusiast, I’m stoked! 💙💜🖤

I just used an em dash in my writing and now I can feel myself becoming part AI. 😔

Nah, The Odyssey isn’t pretentious. Although, I might be biased as I’m actually reading it right now, lol.

Five books to get to know me (in no particular order):

1. The Folk of the Air series - Holly Black
2. Once and Future - Amy Rose Capetta & Cori McCarthy
3. The Poppy Wars - R. F. Kuang
4. The Bone Witch - Rin Chupeco
5. The Hazel Wood - Melissa Albert

Idk who gave Noah Khan the right but thanks for your service.

It’s so very telling that a symbol representing the systemic failure of the criminal justice system has been co-opted to represent cops.

Like, yes, you are a part of the corrupt system. Thanks for letting everyone know, I guess?

We should stand in solidarity against AI replacing any jobs but especially fellow artists.

Even if they don’t use gen AI for their writing, it still shows they’re more than willing to help replace other artists jobs with it. Art is art no matter the medium.

Yes, yes, yes! In one of my current WIPs my two MCs are nonbinary (agender because they’re fae and fae don’t subscribe to gender as a construct) so I’m having to brush up on pronoun usage a good bit since multiple characters use they/them.

Scrivener’s new dictionary feature is going to significantly lessen how often I get distracted while writing. 😭 I love it!!
