I should be more active on this account. I am actually very active on my personal account that I like to keep anonymous, but I really want to get more active in the writing community here on bluesky.
On a related note, an important update: I go by Alex now! No longer called Scout. I'm a trans man🏳️⚧️
@wclanthology.bsky.social hello! I just found your page, and I was wondering if there's any way I can get involved/become a contributor? I'm a disabled college grad, and I'd love to be a writer for something like this if you're accepting contributors
A book titled "Moonlight: A Queer Werewolf Anthology," edited by Bones McKay. The front cover features an illustration of a pack of wolves howling at the moon, which is surrounded by a rainbow aura. The book's listed price as a physical copy is 25 dollars, and is 114 pages
Hi Bluesky, it's been a while!I'd like to recommend this book I ordered, written by queer creators. It's half-short stories and half comics.

I miss when we just had "cold and flu season"...
Now it's
"Rhinovirus
Atypical pneumonia
Human influenza
Norovirus
Coronavirus
Avian influenza
Respiratory syncytial virus
Season."
People are open mouth coughing, refusing to wear a mask, and wondering why everyone's sick. 🤡
Satire: "In a statement released today, neurotypicals conveyed their relief that “this horrible year is nearly over,” asserting the belief that an arbitrary change in year will […] generally fix all the ills of the world." At @thedailytism.bsky.social:

So glad for you!
Autism Speaks Canada shuts down in January. The Canadian org Autistics for Autistics thinks this is both good, and "an opportunity for autistics and our families to collaborate locally to build new, neuro-affirming spaces and projects."

People love to shit on "the chronically online," meanwhile campaigns to take over social media are funded and organized by very powerful people who recognize digital space as real life and the facebook moms, shut-ins and failsons who people it as real political actors.

I just finished my last college assignment. I'm done, I can't believe it. I'm a college graduate. For a long time I never thought I'd make it. I feel like the immense weight on my shoulders I've been holding for years has been lifted

Anyone else get ADHD mental blocks even with things you really want to do? I've been putting off my first YouTube video for a while now, just because the task of figuring out video editing seemed daunting to me. But I still really want to do it
I have so. many. ideas for new writing projects, but can't seem to get any off the ground due to ADHD. I'm working on a blog and a potential YouTube channel, and thinking about a graphic novel series, and possibly horror short stories as well. So many ideas I don't know where to start #adhd
Text that reads: "Once the denial faded, the rage set in. We have been lied to by people we trusted; deceived so that we would cheer on an apartheid state that abuses children and tortures mercilessly in our name. Jewish youth, including myself, have been implicated in a 75-year, ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. There have been tremendous, unfathomable human rights abuses committed under the guise of protecting Jewish livelihood - when in reality, a settler’s quiet peace is made possible only by continued Palestinian repression. There is no safety for anyone under occupation."
Another fantastic piece from Jewish writer Amanda Gelender: "Palestine is the Genocide that we as Jewish People Can Halt"

Working on my first video essay, but I have a cough and can't record my audio yet.
The video will be about the misrepresentation of self care in the media, and it will be very rough because I'm brand new to video editing
I've had an observation lately. It seems as if the only time intersex people are mentioned in lgbt discourse is when it's in defense of non-intersex trans and nonbinary people. We need to do better in including intersex folks in queer advocacy #intersex #ally #lgbt #nonbinary #advocacy
Introduction post! My name is Scout (they/he), and this will be my professional bluesky account for writing projects and networking. I have special interests in lgbtqia+ and disability advocacy, although I support all human rights and pro-socialist movements. Happy to be here! #progressive #writer
