Hey you. Do you like science fiction and dystopia? Do you like psychological thriller books? Do you like sapphic love triangles? You should go follow Project Tasman on BackerKit. Help a book that's all this become real. 17 days from now. gorlskiss.com

Morgan Burbank. A woman with dark brown hair is free falling in front of a group of green, blue, and purple lights. She is wearing a blue zip-up hoodie and a black t-shirt along with blue jeans.

Some women don't stay because they want to. They stay because they can't afford to leave. That's why #UNMUTED is raising funds for entrepreneurship scholarships and survivor support. Freedom shouldn't depend on a woman's bank account. sheismeglobal.com/unmuted
#Unmuted - Because leaving isn't always safe. Leaving doesn't guarantee survival.

#ProTip: When building your email campaigns, always account for dark mode. I still find several large-scale companies that don't account for this, and use images that aren't tailored with transparent backgrounds. The result is messy, patchwork email campaigns instead of clean, concise design.

Today someone suggested that the #1 movie on your 16th birthday is how your 2026 will go. Total Recall Welcome to Recall, where the truth and the dreamworld coincide into one giant war zone, and by the end you still don't know if you're in the dream world or back in your regular life. Touché.

You don’t know anybody until you live with them, day in and day out. Don’t ask how a survivor didn’t know. Don’t wonder why they didn’t see it coming. Don’t doubt them because their abuser was nice to everyone else they met. Believe survivors.

A million and a half years ago, before I figured out storytelling vs writing, I wrote a sequel and tried to make it the first book in the series. I sent it off to a critique partner, crossing my fingers that I'd finally found that magical spell that pulled it all together... 1/

Seeing lots of folks talk about how much they love novellas, and while it is technically a novel, Woman of Sorrow and Blood IS short enough that you can read it in a night Which is good, because once you start, you won't be able to put it down - just ask @kjharrowick.bsky.social
