From pages 38-45 of this remarkable book is a section on journalism that is so urgent, so compelling, so precise in identifying some of the major flaws and failures of mainstream journalism as an industry at this moment in time, that I wish I could make all American journalists read it.

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad, as held by me on an NYC subway car.

GOOD LUCK, BABE! x WHAT WAS I MADE FOR? Cats & Dogma is a #sapphicromance featuring: 💄 Masc x Femme 💕 Friends to Lovers 😇 Religious Trauma 🔪 Curiosity Killed the Mormonism 🏳️‍🌈 Comp-Het 🐈 Cats! 😍 Art by @shaarpie.bsky.social 😍 #QuestPit #A #R #WF #W #WIP #LGBTQRomance #wlw

a #questpit guide to cats and dogma (sapphic romance)

The Pitch: Dry Creek Animal Shelter’s cat care coordinator, Esther, is 3 things: very straight, very Mormon, and very best friends with Vee, the kennel manager, who is none of those things.

And that’s not a problem!

Until Esther gets serious with a returned missionary and asks Vee for make out advice and... you know what — maybe some more make out advice. She didn't quite get that last bit so if Vee could just repeat it and —

The Vibes: What was I made for by billie eilish, i've just seen a face by the beatles, too sweet by hozier and good luck, babe! by chappell roan

existential dread but make it sweet! and sexy! and gay!

I remember looking up to say “Thank you,” and tripping over the words when my eyes connected with the amused curiosity in her own chocolate brown ones. “You’re so pretty,” I blurted instead, surprising us both.
She blinked a few times. A low rasp of a laugh escaped her.
“Or maybe—sorry—not pretty.” It was too feminine a word. She radiated a sort of confident androgyny and… “symmetry…you’re face is so symmetrical,” I corrected for some reason, zeroing in on the perfectly centered dip in her lower lip.
She smiled with that lip then and it took up her whole face, making her more radiant, more dumbfounding. “Thanks, kid,” she said.
It was important that I correct her immediately. I was not a kid. I was 19 years old, my life nearly a quarter of the way over, and my name was Esther.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

PROJECT CLOUDCORE After accidentally crashing into the floating city's arcane engine, a hotshot racer teams up with a disgraced skyship captain to harvest a new engine core from a rare cloud before their city falls from the sky. #WIPPit #A #F #SF #SFF #LGBT

PROJECT CLOUDCORE
Adult Sci-Fantasy Duology

The title is over a moodboard depicting colorful skies, clouds, and airships.

PITCH

All Devon ever wanted was to fly in the grand prix. But when a malfuction makes him crash into the arcane cloud core keeping the city afloat, Devon loses everything: the race, his celebrity status, and his home. Shunned by reputable skyship captains, Devon turns to his former boss, the once-proud, now drunk, Captain Hattie Bennett. His proposal is simple: she’ll lend him her crew to harvest a new cloud core and restore the city (and his reputation), and he’ll help her break into the sky pirate fortress where her wife was last seen alive—the same fortress he escaped as a child.

VIBES

A moodboard showing images of colorful sky and clouds, airships of all sizes, floating cities, and assorted creatures flying through the sky.

INSPIRATION

"Vibes" include "Treasure Planet," "Cowboy Bebop," "Castle in the Sky," "Star Wars," and Formula 1 racing.

Potential comps include "The Surviving Sky" by Kritika H. Kao, "Persephone Station" by Stina Leicht, and "The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi" by Shannon Chakraborty.

The plague gods on the background of a painting of a woman in a lake with a halo, her hands are bound

When Abbie’s God Husband takes her to the God Realm, she quickly learns that gods can die.

Widowed in a world she barely understands, she develops an unlikely friendship with a demon trying to also find his place. They bond together influencing humans for good or evil, until their friendship becomes something more.

But when Abbie’s husband suddenly returns, the god is something else. Can she stay true to her vows to him and risk losing her demon? Or stretch herself so thin she breaks in the process?

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing:
1. Always have an escape plan.
2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud.
3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark.
4. Never get involved with golems.

The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right:
A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs.
B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow.
C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards.
D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn.
E) A pocket orrery engraved with runes.
F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game.
G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks.
H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

HEARTLESS HUNTER x THE WITCHER 🖤 one haughty dragon prince 🖤 one servant masquerading as royalty (secretly sent to execute him) 🖤 forbidden gothic romance 🖤 a gritty world steeped in Slavic folklore 🖤 the ruinous passion destined to undo them both #WIPPit #NA #R #F #G

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A gothic fantasy comic illustration of Iva’s and Konstantin’s sparring match inside a stone training arena with a sandy floor. She is wearing a sleek, dark grey military uniform, and is straddling Konstantin, who is pinned to a large, worn mattress. She holds a silver dagger firmly against his throat. He lies flat on his back, looking up at her with a confident, self-satisfied smirk.

A gothic fantasy comic illustration of a magical ritual inside a stone dormitory chamber. A Rusalka is emerging from a water-filled rustic wooden basin placed on a large oval table. The Rusalka has pale, sickly skin, sharp fangs bared in a sinister grin, and long, moss-green hair like river algae, which she is brushing with an ornate bone comb featuring a sleeping swan handle. Standing behind the table, Iva, in a dark military uniform watches in stunned awe, alongside her best friend Marina. They traded the comb with Rusalka for an important information as a part of an ancient magic ritual.
