Worried your work isn’t exploration-y enough? Try us anyway! This is a loose theme. We’re interested in explorations of new worlds and strange places. But we’re also interested in explorations of the self, the body, love, science, folklore, family… anything and everything! Seriously, go wild! 🔭 🗺️

Directly from trad pubbed authors before. They love that shit. You can also make posts tagging the 3 offenders on other social media platforms to tell them how you feel. Volume + no money = successful boycott. We have to support each other against AI. Employees deserve better wages and we hate AI.

Whirl 📚(can't donate) @whirloglyphics.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Is numbers not vitriol. Ontop of calling it's important to tell them you will be boycotting them and ALL of their imprints in the meantime. Which. I will link. Yes its gonna be a lot. That is kind of the point. Support indie, reach out to the authors themselves for their books. I've bought books

Whirl 📚(can't donate) @whirloglyphics.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

We can reach HarperCollins by phone to tell them how we feel about the recent WIRED article. Remember the person on the end of the phone is not the board who made this decision. Be polite. Be professional. And be kind. You'd lose your marbles at hundreds and thousands of calls. The name of the game

Aight #booksky and #writesky it's time for a boycott of HarperCollins, Hatchette, and Simon & Schuster. Instead of paying employees they've decided to purchase and use AI. While Hatchette and Simon & Schuster can't be reached by phone to tell them how we feel as readers and writers alike.

Also do not cuss and verbally harass the receptionist. The receptionist is not the one who made this decision. Abusing some poor customer service worker is shit behavior. Don't be shitty. Simply state hi i am [your name] im calling because [Ai] and why you're against Ai.

Whirl 📚(can't donate) @whirloglyphics.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

If y'all wanna tell HarperCollins how you feel they do have an accessible phone number. As for S&S and Hachette. The only way they'll see your complaints is if we bombard all their social media with negative feedback and organize a boycott of them and all their imprints. #booksky #writesky

#LitHodgepodge D10: Delilah/Della - teenage sweetheart to Megan Deer and a generally shy, sweet girl born and raised in the mountains of Tennessee. What things would you set to catch her? #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

A 9 panel OC moodboard for my character Delilah/Della from book 2 of my series. The images will be described from top to bottom, left to right. The images are as follows: A hazy old flash photo of a blonde and brunette girl sitting on a roof together at dusk with their backs turned, an old white house in the hills of Appalachia with a simple tin roof and aging front porch, a faceless image of a young teen playing with a corded phone line while she talks with someone, a mostly empty field on a dark overcast autumn day with an unmarked simple white wooden cross in the field, a pale face with intense glaring eyes of a young girl with a red gleam in her gaze that implies she is not fully human, an image of sheep with disturbing red glowing eyes, a faceless photo of a young girl's bare legs from behind from the thigh down (her calves and feet have stains of blood but she is mostly clean), an overcast dark autumn day with dry orange fields with a burning farmhouse in the middle with a tower of black smoke rising into the air, a despondent young bride in all white with her face turned away from the camera in a high flash contract giving the image an eerie feel.

Finally finished my first book for #ThisWitchReads for the Prompt Day & Night which is multi POVs. I chose a much anticipated book from @rainbowcrate.bsky.social and loved every minute of it! I even listened to the audiobook which was exceptionally voice acted #booksky #diversebooksky

To Catch a Firefly by Emmy Sanders two men gaze lovingly at each other.

The background is a cool blue galaxy with a tarot card that reads celestial.

They even go so far as fo make sure AI isnt used for promotional or marketing purposes by authors, artists, and indie publishing houses. Never AI always Queer. Support indie queer books y'all.

Is this a bad time to say @rainbowcrate.bsky.social never touches AI? They have real human people doing real people tasks. All content is tirelessly scoured for potential AI. To include covers on existing books. Indie publishing all the way. Never AI always queer. #booksky

Incredibly so. I grew up in a small Southern town where being out was genuinely exhausting. It was often that my only comfort or feeling of understanding was between the pages of a book or comic. It's why I'm so passionate about access to queer books for any age. #QueerPrompts

📚Uplift Indigenous stories and take the time to learn about the history and culture of Indigenous peoples, especially those whose land you currently reside on. This should be a goal not just for Indigenous Peoples' Day or National Native American Heritage Month, but for all year round.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Everyone else is a guest who gets to enjoy the food and socialize. When they're done cooking everyone can eat. Is it like The Menu? Or more like Ratatouille? You'll find out what their mood is based on if people respect their work and are on their best behavior. There is a dress code.
