Pounded in the butt by the handsome lesbian manifestation of my ADHD while I learn that refusing to accommodate myself is unkind OR I'm gay for my sentient toolbelt

All of it 😈 I want all the queer and disabled and BIPOC experiences so everyone can see themselves in what they're reading! I want every marginalized community to get to write every trope until we're all sick of seeing our specific combo of labels fake date or fight demon crocodiles or what have you

Jen's struggles with ADHD mirror my own--the "why can't I just do this," the shoulding, the shame and frustration around all of that--and I want anyone who reads it to know that it's okay to accommodate their brain and there's nothing wrong with needing a different path

Hmmm like a few others I haven't done as much comp searching yet but I'd say the AuDHD pairing of Cleat Cute meets a butch4butch HGTV's Home Town?

It was a few things but one of the biggest inspirations was the lack of butch/butch sapphic pairings in trad contemporary romance!

Hey folks, I have a huge request for Pride: Trevor Project is recruiting for a landmark new study. If you are LGBTQ, in the United States, and between 13-24 or know someone who is, pass this along to them. Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives. Take the survey

To proceed to the survey, please check off the box and click the button below.

Hey #LGBTQWriteAThon! I'm Karsyn, a bi and ace-spec author of all sorts of romance but lately anything sapphic! I'm in early days of a new draft but this is my first line, courtesy of my MC Jen: I should’ve known I’d overdick this.

Time to post it again.
A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

I needed to be much clearer in my now-escaped thread (see below) and so should have the OP that the FDA has announced PLANS. It has not carried out those plans yet. We can push back. We can try to get a shot. Don't close the window for them. bsky.app/profile/alys...

a movie poster with text superimposed over the image of a dark haired woman and blonde woman holding hands and smiling, about to kiss. At the top, the poster reads "KarsynWrites presents" and the title "Bump, Set, Like" in large font. Near the bottom of the page are text segments: rival volleyball coaches, grumpy with a soft side and sunshine with a storm cloud, and enemies to lovers. Below that is the following logline: When former volleyball rivals are forced to work together in a community youth league, sparks fly among the spiked balls—but with complicated pasts and a dream job waiting on the sidelines, there's more on the line than a volleyball season. At the very bottom of the poster is a quote "spectacular, adorable, soul-crushing in a good way"

When a spy’s cover is blown while in bed with her final target, she has to go on the run with the woman she betrayed, all while trying to decide if retirement is worth risking her heart and her life. #r #a #posterpitq
A movie poster with text superimposed over the image of a dark haired woman wearing sunglasses glancing behind her, face impassive. At the top, the poster reads "KarsynWrites presents" and the following quotes surrounded by laurel wreaths: “so strange and perfect and sweet,” "so sizzling, hot, hot, hot," and "tight and compelling." Near the center of the page is SPY TO ME. Along the lower lefthand side are "hurt comfort," "on the run," and "sexy lockpicking." At the bottom is the following logline: A jaded spy tasked with seduction. An heiress bent on changing the world. Even if they survive, their hearts might not.
