Encountering an Nth straight person saying how Camp Miasma wasn't hot or romantic and like. Do straight ppl not understand the concept of "you are not the target audience" Congrats, this is what it's like watching straight romance for us. Dull, predictable, and mildly annoying. Welcome lol

I need to clarify something here: this is a physical, print collection that I’m looking to get back in actual physical print. If all an imprint is going to do with my book to give it second life is make it entirely digital and distribute it for free, that…sadly isn’t what I’m looking for, I’m sorry.

Are any #presses / #publishers open to submissions of out-of-print #poetry collections? Ever since Tolsun Books went under, I’ve been worried about my 2019 collection, “The Sting of It,” going out of print. Amazon & others have finally marked it as such. Any leads or offers would be helpful!

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

One thing all marginalized people have in common is that under white supremacy, at any given time we are whatever beneficiaries of our status quo need us to be in order to advance their rhetoric but at no particular crucial point ever are we real actualized voice-having human beings.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 763: Having a tough time? Good. Got a rejection? Good. Got a bad review? Good. Had to abandon a project because it wasn't working? Good. These things all teach you resilience, patience and determination; the things you need most as a writer.
