Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

When someone who consistently does and says terrible things dies, it's helpful. It means that they can no longer do and say terrible things. It's a form of cleansing the world. That's a positive thing.

Almost all of the Black touchstones uplifted in the US were avowed socialists and Communists and I always find this so funny. So many people including some Black people elide this fact.

Happy #MayDay! We at IC are in solidarity with @criticalresistance.bsky.social, Black Alliance for Just Immigration, @detentionwatchnetwork.org, and many other groups in demanding that ICE be abolished. Scroll through these graphics to see just what we mean! #NoICE #StopICE #AbolishICE (1/2)

This May Day, groups are mobilizing around demands to abolish ICE—but what does that mean?

No ICE means...Not one more dollar for ICE, Border Patrol, or Homeland Security. And repeal the billions they were given last summer!

No ICE means...No more hiring sprees for ICE, Border Patrol, or Homeland Security— AND no more collaboration with other agencies for immigration enforcement!

No ICE means...No more immigration detention facilities, warehouses, or holding cells—AND closing existing detention facilities—including Dilley!

Scream Queens x Divergent in PROJECT GLITCH A dystopian romantic heist with 🕷️ Rival gangs 👾 Cyberpunk setting 🫆 Forced proximity 🖤 Morally grey characters 🕸️ A lethal, cult-like girl gang #questpit #W #NA #D Querying late summer/fall <3

List of tropes:
Dystopian, romance, heist
Teenage lovers to unaccounted for for many years, to rival gang members actually trying to kill each other to reluctant allies to lovers again???
Idk, it’s complicated..
Cyberpunk
Forced proximity
is it a gang or is it a cult?
Anything can be a murder weapon if you try hard enough
tending to wounds

Pitch:
Project Glitch is about a gang member trying to earn her initiation by killing all her exes, when she's redirected to infiltrate a rival gang's heist—led by her last remaining ex-boyfriend—to steal information from an impenetrable city with the potential to save or obliterate their corrupt world.

Opening lines:
Eyes on the target. Awaiting orders to shoot." I tighten my grip on the rifle.
The breeze sweeps some brown stray hairs over my eyes as I follow the target through my scope—Raymond, 25, male, with dark shaggy hair and a bag slung over his shoulder. Also known as my second ex-boyfriend.
"Awaiting orders to shoot," I repeat. My trigger finger burns to move.
The traffic drums in the background—car horns ring through the dirty air between dilapidated skyscrapers. Raymond dabs up one of the bouncers across the street. I track his every move; when he steps back to let a group pass by, when he scratches the five o'clock shadow on his chin, when he nods towards the entrance door two steps ahead of them. All that stands between me and my official initiation into the Coven, is one bullet in his brain.

Books similar to Project Glitch:
Butcher and Blackbrid by Brynne Weaver
Coldwire & These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong
Scion by James Islington
To Cage a Wild Bird by Brooke Fast
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Divergent by Veronica Roth

EDITORS GUIDE for EXTRA INNINGS ABBOTT ELEMENTARY meets TED LASSO (but make it gay) when an English teacher Owen must mentor a new teacher/coach...who is also his ex-BFF and situationship. #QuestPit #A #R #OS (soon)

Editor’s Guide to Extra Innings
Queer, Second Chance Romance
Going on submission soon!
85,000 Words

An anxious high school English teacher is forced to mentor the new teacher/varsity baseball coach, who just happens to be his ex-best friend and first love.Old feelings resurface fast, blurring the lines between classroom, dugout, and a second chance neither of them is sure they deserve.

Owen Hart copes with anxiety through rules, routines, and the predictable rhythm of his life as a high school English teacher in the small town he grew up. So when his former best friend—and first love—Matt Beckett comes back to town after a career-ending baseball injury, Owen has no interest in reopening old wounds.

Matt was the golden boy with MLB dreams. Now he’s back home, stepping into the role as the varsity baseball coach and long term substitute teacher. When the principal assigns Owen as his instructional mentor, Matt has no choice but to accept help from the one person he never truly got over.

What starts as classroom support quickly spills onto the field. Owen starts helping with the team, until their lives are tangled together from first period to the final inning. And being around each other again makes one thing impossible to ignore: whatever they had ten years ago never faded. A rushed and heady locker room hook up turns into an off campus high heat situationship they aren’t ready to label.

But Owen can’t risk loving someone who might leave again, and Matt doesn’t think he deserves a second chance. Still, no matter how hard they try to keep their distance, they keep getting pulled back in—on the field, in the classroom, and everywhere in between.

To have a future, Owen must confront his fear of abandonment, while Matt has to decide if coming home is just a detour—or the place he’s finally ready to stay.
The Pitch

Welcome to Rollins, CA
A small northern California town held together by local businesses, nosy neighbors, and a shift toward acceptance.

Where Extra Innings fits in the Market
The "High-Stakes" Sports Romance

See You at the Finish Line (Zac Hammett): Fans of Hammett’s sharp, teammate-to-lovers tension will find that same magnetic pull between Matt and Owen as they navigate a shared past that won't stay buried.

Diamond Ring (K.D. Casey): Appeals to readers who crave the authentic, gritty reality of post-professional sports and the long, high-stakes road to reconciliation.
The "Deep-Heart" Small Town Romance

Honey Bee Mine (Sarah T. Dubb): Captures the "everybody knows your business" atmosphere of Rollins, appealing to readers who love a setting that acts as both a safe harbor and an antagonist.

Teacher of the Year (M.A. Wardell): Matches the warm, earnest, and deeply human voice of the English teacher protagonist, grounding the romance in the complexities of professional life and public perception.
