Just to be absolutely certain, you're in USD yes? I need to convert costs to AUD to set aside money to pay for services in future. 😊

I would love to be included, if still possible. 😊

I'm so sorry. No one should ever speak to anyone else that way. It's horrendous and disgusting. I hope you've had the space to process and find comfort. Maybe a few days between pages of some favourite books? Don't let him steal any of the joy we get to have with what spoons we have. 🫂🫶🏻

Hi fellow zebra cat mum 👋🏻😊💜

Added to my KU TBR! 😊💜

The really fun times is when you don't notice them until you're already in the shower with the water running and they're in the opposite corner like they just won a free sauna day. 👀😂 (true story)

Same. I've honestly been wondering what's happening on Bluesky because the hashtags I follow seem very quiet and yet a lot of the activists I follow rave about Bluesky. Wondering whether it's predominantly political/activist stuff that gets engagement here and other stuff has fallen away.

Buffy was a formative part of my teens. Tara and Willow helped me realise my true self. Their family bond with Dawn had my heart. I'm so sad to hear about Michelle Trachtenberg. My thoughts are with her loved ones. May she rest now, forever in the memories of a generation.🕯️ #BuffyTheVampireSlayer 💜

I understand why losing your hair is an internal line in the sand regarding bodily autonomy. We already have to give up some level/s of autonomy because of disability/chronic illness so we hold on tight to ones we can control. Losing one is that much more upsetting as a result. I totally get it 💜

Congrats on the donation, that's really awesome! I lost my hair a decade ago because of health stuff I was battling, so I know how important natural wigs are and I can say personally thank you for doing that. My hair isn't back to what it was but I go soft pink when I can to feel like the old me 😅

Healthy doses of escapism is key to mental health for so many of us atm and cosy or romantasy really fits within that vibe. I'm sure people will enjoy reading it as much as you do writing it 😊 love your hair btw, I miss being pastel pink 🫶🏻

The vibe we all wish to have and inhabit rn 💜😊

That's absolutely an apt description! 😂 My hat off to you for being a bard, it's harder than people realise. I'm always the cleric, happy to get people back on their feet but also put others on their ass to protect my people. I RPG what I know 😅 But you're right, and I'll try to remember that. 🫶🏻

Shared past retail horror, always a bond only retail workers get 🫶🏻Thank you for all your kind encouragement, it's been really uplifting. Also love the dnd reference! I always loved Tieflings for Hellish Rebuke, something I'm not quippy enough to nail irl but love regardless. 😅 I'll do my best tho 🫶🏻

I'll definitely try my best with that in mind, and work on not to deleting the effort afterwards 😅 And as someone who used to work retail it'll be a challenge to act like that 😅 but I'll try to spin it in a healthy way. Hopefully it might create positive engaged discussions as that'd be awesome 😊

Yes, absolutely! I'm most interested in creating community, engaging with people about similar interests or things in common. I hope to have people who'd like to read/liked my book following in future too, but I would love to help create connections to get through rough times we may all have ahead.

Thank you for the kind words, the follow, and the encouragement! I think I can try that, I do best boosting others so that mentality might work for me. Then I'll have to work on not deleting posts feeling self-conscious lol! One step at a time, but practice will help! 😊🫶🏻

Absolutely fam, thick as theives. We look out for each other, as writers and queer community. We stand strongest together 🫶🏻

I completely relate. I built my platform on twitter before it went to hell. I'm an introvert so I haven't posted on TikTok yet, and I pulled my stuff from Insta when they began stealing content for AI. Meta going anti-lgbtqia+ has been a real blow. Hoping here can be a refuge for our community 🫶🏻

Yeah, I understand the struggle to find the right way to express the narrative voice. It was one of the biggest hurdles for me starting this book and then having to restart it because of how the last year has shifted things.

I appreciate you, and I can't wait to share things with you ✨💜🫶🏻

Count me interested! I totally can't do chivalric vibes, too slow burn for my upfront adhd brain lol 😅, so I'm totally curious to see what you write with that as the inspo! I'm sure it'll have epic feels 🫶🏻

That's so precious! I love when the next gen of littlelees discovers things like OH and love them. If/when that cosplay happens please send me pics! 💜

Also, me too fam. Always gonna be your cheersquad in life 🫶🏻😘

Honestly, I think it's totally fair! But I admit I'm biased from seeing your writing through the years and being friends sooooo 😅😊😘

Best show to get inspiration vibes from! I may identify closely with Amity but I'm quite sure everyone probably sees me as Eda 😂 Would be happy to swap stories with you as we're writing fam 🫶🏻💜

With a graveyard behind them, Morticia (right) reads their family motto off a grave to Fester Addams (left), telling him 'We gladly feast on those who would subdue us'. The GIF was taken from The Addams Family movie, made in the 1990s.

Fellow authors, especially 🏳️‍🌈 and #indieauthors, with books in progress - what GIF is closest to the vibe of what you're currently writing? I'll start! 😊

I appreciate your kindness. I'm not self-promotion savvy, I often feel awkward + self-conscious. Making connections isn't always straightforward. So I hope you're proven right. Til then I'm hoping I can find community or allies again, or those who like similar books and might one day like mine too 🫶🏻

I had no idea I was on the second or fifth one. That may have happened at a time I wasn't on Bluesky as much because of low energy and focusing on one place, threads, so as not to wear thin as I'm trying to recover from autistic burnout so being strategic with energy expenditure has been necessary.

I knew of 2-3, from back when there was that big push to support 🏳️‍🌈 writers last year. I can expend that energy again, with time. But it's disheartening and exhausting to start over a 3rd time. I've seen big, nondisabled accounts do it and thought what harm is there posting a hope without expectation

I did read your bio, sharing that doesn't invalidate what I said, in fact it should mean you understand it more. I spent months of hours building community on threads only to have hate coming from beyond my country make it too hostile to stay there as my main. This is the 3rd time I'm starting over.

I think I might be on a couple, from when I first joined, but I think they may have been small or may not still be up. I've raised my hand for a couple, ones about being an 🏳️‍🌈♿ writer, but I think there are so many you can easily get lost. I can see if there are others tho, that I can possibly join 😊
