On 9/11 we blanket honor over innocent lives lost in senseless attacks. This 9/11 is no different, just adds more faces. "It’s disturbing how incidents like this can be downplayed depending on the victims. Political violence should be condemned universally, not through a partisan lens."

I am queer and black and HATED by many Charlie Kirk supporters, but an "eye for an eye" isn't the way forward. Do we want peace and equality at all? Vengeful violence just perpetuates a diseased, systemic hatred toward otherness, which hinders that goal. Can we pls stop this cycle...somewhere?

I've seen college grads use gen AI. Imagine wasting prime years of young adulthood getting a creative arts degree, then offloading every creative endeavor to a robot that's inaccurate 90% of the time. Just throw your money directly into a frat house firepit next time.

Chapter 1

Artimetrius rolls a fifteen-carat rough diamond across the backs of his blue knuckles. Blue? No, no, that can’t be right. He glances up at his human anatomy poster. His eyes follow the temperature chart down to the metric for frostbite. Mmm, yeah blue isn’t a normal color for the human suit. He looks up at the thermostat. Six degrees. Huh. He’ll have to adjust that.
He sets the diamond down and swans to the fireplace, aggravation lacing his lithe steps. He reignites the flame with a snap of his fingers before settling in his Jacobean parlor chair again. He’s had nearly five centuries to get used to taking care of this garment of squishy wet muscle and tissue and he absolutely hates it.

To clarify, 'Imogen, Obviously' by Becky Albertalli is a gorgeous coming-of-age YA that centers sexuality in an age-appropriate manner. We are not meant to be horny by Imogen's exploration--and we AREN'T. She's a child. Ergo the YA label. See how that's done? Why is there 🌶 YA? #writingcommunity

#WIPSnips from DEADBEAT DAD! Yeah, another concept... Don't have anything except the opening paragraphs, but think: HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA × WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS × TAKEN #WritingCommunity #amwriting #vampire #action #comedy #dadlife #horror ? Idefk at this point...

>>> **CHAPTER 1**

*Even the undead need a life*

Gary had always preferred the language of pre-Twentieth Century. There wasn't much opportunity to use it nowadays, so when it did present itself, it was rather cathartic.

"What a load of horse feathers!" Gary scoffed and slapped the immaculate white paper, held in his trembling hand. "Blood-sucking reptiles!" Pausing, he narrowed his eyes. "How dare she," he muttered. Holding the letter closer to his face—as if that would change its contents—he skimmed the ludicrous text for the tenth time.

Gary had never understood the big fuss about books. Being around for over two centuries had never changed that. Whenever he told someone how long he'd been roaming this Godsforsaken rock hurdling through space, there was a good chance they'd bring up how many things he must have seen. Or interesting people met. Or how many books read.

Poppycock. He hated reading, so reading a letter addressing his supposed shortcomings as a father naturally had his blood boiling—if he'd had any.

Chloe realizing she feels more than just the oily fingerprints of ancestors on her favorite jewelry. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Q #F #SF #NA #LGBT #WOC #BlackSky

Chloe squeezes the locket. Yes, it does sound out there, but a guardian watching over her is exactly what Chloe needs right now, and something about the locket does feel safe. An energy flows from it that wraps around Chloe like a warm hug when she’s in trouble. She’s felt that hug since the locket first hung around her neck, but could never pinpoint the source of the feeling. Maybe it’s from knowing the shared jewelry also laid against her mom and Elliotte’s skin. But maybe…it’s something else? Something sentient. Ancient. Maybe Chloe is sensing the light energy Sadie spoke of. The locket warms against her chest now, tugging at something deep within her as if in confirmation. “Sadie might be right.”

In this snippet, Chloe wonders if she shares something in common with her annoying college. #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Q #F #SF #NA #BlackSky

Chloe doesn’t enjoy spending this much time with Mariah. Some people like bubbly personalities. Chloe likes bubbly personalities the same way she likes shaking up a soda right before she drinks it. As an introvert, she likes to be quiet, indoors and left alone. But there’s an undeniable compulsion to be close to Mariah now. Sometimes she wonders if Mariah is dragging her to the center of her social life for the same reason Chloe feels compelled to be dragged; a deep-seated loneliness and otherness that pinches at her core.

Trying to prove you're not the impulsive and out of control witch you're known to be is not easy. Lunaryn will still try, not for her sake, but for those who can't protect themselves. An afterlife of punishment seems like a very small prize to pay for putting her morals aside. #PosterPit #Q #F #A

Movie poster I've made on canva. White background with a silhouette of a man and a woman, inside of the silhouette there's the picture of a woman at a masquerade ball (original image is Deva Cassell in her role in The Leopard, I edited with canva to put the mask over her eyes and added some tendril elements to make it look like she was casting magic). Text reads: A dangerous game of duty and what's right, Doing what must be done weighs heavy on the soul. Quote from a beta reader: I looved the characters and their dynamics, especially Luna, she is a marvel and her chaos is a beautiful thing to behold". The Healer Witch, living a double life is not as fun as it sounds. Secrets revealed, dealing in the shadows, a lesson to be learnt. In the trenches now.

A sapphic GOOD WILL HUNTING set in a prestigious magic convent. ✨ gatekept magic 🗡️ ritual sacrifice 🚫 forbidden romance 🪷 hallucinogenic lotus flowers 🌞 seasonal gravity #QueerPit #A #F #CLI

A collage on a stained glass cathedral background. Collage: a large monstera leaf, a group of people in purple and white robes with lace veils covering their faces, one holding a crucifix, a cactus with a pink flower, two nuns in black-and-white habits kissing, a close-up of red-liquid-covered fingers dipped into a silver cup.

A three-panel image with clips from three movies. The left panel is labeled "The Little Hours" and shows a nun (Aubrey Plaza) screaming at an employee (Dave Franco). The middle panel is labeled "Good Will Hunting" and shows Will (Matt Damon) solving a math problem on a chalkboard. The right panel is labeled "Wicked (if Galinda & Elphaba kissed)" and shows Galinda (Ariana Grande) embracing Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) while looking in a mirror.

A moodboard with nuns kissing, a leopard staring at the camera, a red ocean, a cactus with a flower, red fingers in a silver cup, foliage, purple-hooded people, and cathedral candles. Over the top, a white rectangle with the text: "A sapphic Good Will Hunting set in a prestigious magic convent.

Spinoza is the middle-aged High Vestra of the most renowned magic convent as far as the rainforest reaches. As High Vestra, she’s responsible for communing with the gods. Except, ever since a sacrifice gone wrong three years ago, she can’t hear the gods anymore. Fearing irrelevance, she fabricates messages they send her. When her patron loses faith in Spinoza’s competence, she’s forced to select and train a replacement. Determined to prove she’s irreplaceable, she devises a selection trial that should be impossible to pass.

Casuma is a young, rebellious maid at the renowned convent who resents her employers for deforesting her home and forcing their new religion on her family. To mess with the privileged acolytes, she completes a magical trial set out for them before any of them have even had the chance. But when her unprecedented success is discovered, she’s picked to be the High Vestra’s new apprentice. Though she loathes the High Vestra and everything she stands for, Casuma recognizes this as an opportunity to take down the religion from within.

While Spinoza trains Casuma, they each secretly plot to undermine the other. As they spend more time together, their secrets threaten to come to the surface: Spinoza’s lie that she communes with the gods, that, if discovered, would make her an outcast, and Casuma’s plot of rebellion that could result in her death, as well as her secret affair with Pironella, a devout acolyte, despite the convent’s strict rules against romance."
