Crazy how these people that ride the Trump train to stardom want off now.

I like the people I follow here on Bluesky. Some are professional writers and yes they are selling books but that’s fine and most the comments here are humans talking to humans. Sharing life and experiences without some underlying motive. That is where social media can shine. A healthy echo chamber.

Anyone tired of hearing about AI?

A “friend” and former colleague open a PR against the README in a github project I worked on this weekend. He suggested I replace it with an ASCII art penis. Good times, good times.

April, has been a shitshow for writing so far and no hope of that improving any time soon.

What do people who stop pretending to believe in God do when they miss certain elements of church? Where do you find that outside of having to pretend to believe something? In church, I did find some caring people to build community with, but after Trump, I couldn't pretend to be okay with the rest.

God, I miss this guy.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Child: Mayor.

Funny story about being stuck in London due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland www.patreon.com/posts/storie...

Viktor Orban lost. I hope this is a good sign for democracy. He lost to a former loyalist. I don't even know what that means. But right now, I need to pretend like it is a win.

I submitted "Ten Feet" at the end of March to "The Writers of the Future Contest" 1Q. Based on the critiques, it is better than the two recent stories that got honorable mention. Fingers crossed, I get a "Silver Honorable Mention." And yes, I don't hope to win. Just progress. Send mana my way.

Jealous but excited to connect to a winner! I’d love to know how the ceremony and workshops go as well as how you plan to use this to further your passion. Maybe an extended post here or if you have a site or blog. I’m sure others would love to learn about your experience.

Nice! I’m jealous. I’ll have to check it out!

YASS!!!

Another Honorable Mention from The Writers of the Future Contest writersofthefuture.com/writers-of-t...

Got a second honorable mention from "The Writers of the Future Contest." Now I just need to get a Silver! I have two stories I'm working on to submit. Fingers crossed.

Fuck Chilis!

Seriously?!

I thought they made a position for her to keep collecting a paycheck but not work.

Kristi Noem got canned.

I’ve giggled and gotten worries during some of your stories as well, but definitely lots of crying. Some happy tears though.

If you have any suggestions for craft books or more of your stories or novels to help us bring strong emotion to our spec fic writing, please share. We wish you well.

My two local writer gfs loved "Yarns." We spent an hour discussing it yesterday at a coffee shop in Durham. We are still amazed at what you did with so little space. We've decided to read THE EMOTIONAL CRAFT OF FICTION in an attempt to find our own voice of emotion in writing. @spalwick.bsky.social

There was a point in my life I might feel bad for wishing ill upon someone. Trump helped me move on to hoping he moves on. Soon.

Company rep pushed generating emails from PowerPoint and rambling dictation. How does this create an email I don’t just delete as I usually do? Now I know the “babbler” didn’t even make an effort to create it themselves. We need LESS emails and MORE human to human interaction.

Fighter, Cleric, Magic-User, Thief

Oh, and they invited Cash Unwell to drink afterwards, and some idiot gave him a gold medal.

This is the kind of shit that keeps making us dudes look bad. Fuck this guy.

OMG!! I'm there...

Howdy
