Skywise, the original bisexual short king.

Pretty sure reading Elfquest was the first place I encountered bisexual characters and it was eye opening

Skywise from the original Elfquest graphic novel series

Oh shit! I thought of another one.

Don’t know why I’m seeing “the Elon hate has mostly dissipated” posts because no it fucking hasn’t.

A contact form reads: Subject: Checking Authenticity Body of message Hi there Beth. I have been contacted by someone who is using the email, [email blacked out], and using you name and one of your novels 'Feast of the Starving Stone: The Chef’s Five' to engage with me as a fellow author - if it is you then great, if it is not, as i suspect, then this is a fake approach. I just wanted to be sure. thanks. [signed name blacked out] You're a real person, right? No, I'm a bot. Please don't include existential questions in a contact form. Yes.

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID.

Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name.

No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

Repost with your first crush (if you had one).

There were probably some earlier ones, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head. (To be clear, I had a crush on Sabriel, not the Abhorsen who is pictured on the cover.)

If you see this, post something orange from your gallery.

(…this counts, right?)

WHAAAAT FOR REAL???? Now I’m pissed

Tim Curry IS VERY MUCH ALIVE.

It is his birthday so he is trending because people are gushing about how great he is, which is deserved.

Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tim Curry in Clue

Tim Curry in The Three Musketeers

Tim Curry in Muppet Treasure Island

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I will joyously die on this hill with you

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Hailey is an incredible person whose resilience and creativity keep blowing me away. She keeps making amazing culture and fighting for trans feminism in Brazil.

Her mom has cancer and it's taking up all her time and energy. Can you help her make rent please? <3

Omg I hate it here. I am holding myself back from saying some things right now… But I need health insurance.

I reached $110 which will get me somewhere safe temporarily. That's 110/500. 500 will pay for a permanent move to a safer place. Please help me if you can.

"Gen AI" is not politically neutral, even & especially when using it against political opponents. This isn't some "tying a hand behind your back" situation, this is literally harming yourself and everyone else by giving legitimacy and credence to a deeply dangerous technisocial paradigm. So stop it.

FUU*******************CK

THESE BANS ARE GOING INTO EFFECT IN PLACES LIKE FUCKING OREGON WHERE THE CHURCH RUNS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL SYSTEM!!!! NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!! IT'S ALL JUST BASED POPE MEMES!!!! I'M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND

MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

wtaf 🤦

But sure he is stark mad

Exactly. I have long maintained that there are two kinds of actors: those who transform themselves for every role, and those who transform every role into themselves. (And then there are just bad actors, but that’s a convo for another time…)

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel!

It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights"

But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???

It’s Thursday morning and my shoulders ache Eyes plagued with the needle-sharp pricks of unshed tears, tears I can't very well shed on a bus going over a bridge My homeland still has bridges — am I relieved? It’s Thursday morning and my world hasn’t ended (yet) and they massacred three hundred people in Lebanon and my beloveds in Palestine are still starving and Iran’s air is still poisoned, her schools are still rubble, and my aunt in Tehran is still alive, I think (there’s still a blackout, so who knows) Am I relieved? It’s Thursday morning and we won, or something, or we paused, or something, and a white woman in my comments is saying “Nobel Peace Prize for Iran” and my people are still being shot in the streets but at least they aren’t being bombed. Am I relieved? It’s Thursday morning and a girl asks It’s Thursday morning and a girl asks if I know where Home Depot is and I can tell she’s Iranian because of her eyebrows and the concealer layered beneath her sunken eyes. (We all aged 24 years in 24 hours based on a fucking tweet. but hey, the videos are funny, right?) And I want to ask her — are we lucky? Can my shoulders drop? Is this what luck looks like? It’s Thursday morning and I want to scream because in this stupid, cruel world I think it is. I think I’m lucky. I think I’m blessed. Shukranalhamdullilah, they only killed a few thousand of us (for now.) What a mercy. What a goddamn relief Sophia Babai

Idk man.

Genre is fake! It's fine! Shelves are purely an audience sorting method IT'S FINE.

image from inside Artemis II text: i need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one's late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like.

Also? Genuinely dare people to try and start separating SF and F and see how far you get. There is so much overlap, it soon becomes a Sisyphean task. (Anne McCaffrey is maybe the best known example of why)
