a photo of three, colorful friendship bracelets on a man’s wrist“had a training for my job today and overheard an older woman remark to her friend about how she didn’t think it was appropriate for men to wear jewelry (i was the only man in the room). i’m sorry, my kids made bff bracelets and three kids made bracelets for ME and you expect me not to wear them? they could have made a bracelet for anybody and they chose ME? of course im going to wear them. do you not have JOY in your life? do you even enjoy working with kids? i swear to god”

Trust me: readers do care! Damonza says they won't use AI without your express permission, but I'm not giving them any more business. I'd prefer if all the covers in the series were consistent, and done by the same artists, but fuuuuuuuuck AI! Eat shit! I'll pay an actual artist!

andrew rivas @andrew-rivas.com · 02/08/2026
Just hit 50K words in The Counterfeit Coronation (Hourglass Book 4). For the first three Hourglass book covers, I used Damonza, but since the last time I used them was in 2024 I decided to check their website to see their AI policy. Turns out they use AI now! Fuck 'em.

spent 30 mins slowly climbing a mountain. the view looked incredible. opened photo mode and started going through poses and thought the one where sam is throwing lou into the air looked cute. now i realize it looks like he's throwing lou OFF the mountain. fyi sam is not throwing lou off the mountain

on the last day of pride month i want to plug my gay science fantasy series. tbh the first one isn't gay at all. you just need to trust me that book 2 introduces a female love interest and a gay prince who wants to burn down the conversion camp his parents sent him to www.amazon.com/dp/B08FSK51YY

MOONFLOW, by @bitterkarella.bsky.social Sarah, a trans mycologist / drug dealer, is financially coerced in to venturing into the Pamogo Forest to collect spores of the King’s Breakfast, a species of mushroom that gives a … unique psychedelic high. This goes poorly.

no lie this image inspired me to finish NICE GUYS after putting it off for months. it's a short story now, because i saw a sub call that ends march 31st that it would be perfect for. now i just need to cut 800 words from this 4800 word story. any editor mutuals want to help me out? (i'll pay you)
A picture of a horse standing on the edge of a rooftop. The text reads "i will always succeed because i am insane." How did the horse get up there? The image gives us no context besides the horse's determination to succeed and its mental state. The image was originally posted by @aimeehyndman.bsky.social.

DEAR STUPID PENPAL, by @rascalhartley.bsky.social If I had a nickel for every time I read an epistolary horror novel where two men fall in love, I’d have two nickels, which isnt a lot, but its cool that it happened twice. (Shoutout to @lormaggot.ca & @shelleylavigne.bsky.social 's Flesh of the Sea—
