At the very start, #QueerPrompts

As the book is set in 2013, and I had to search for events and football games and be wary of anachronisms

I'm thinking of keeping the style for future works whether it's medieval, modern, or futuristic

Here video of the indigenous dancers from last night. They danced from dawn till well after dusk. It was truly spectacular.

My manuscript assessor pulled me up on show don't tell because I'd shown a full, first meeting conversation, and told me I could summarise the everyday bits

I was pretty flabbergasted, but by deft rewriting for a reader and breezing over the boring bits, I got a 15-page scene done in 8

Don’t let a bot do your writing A couple of days ago I was in a conversation where one of the people talked about letting an AI bot rewrite her business correspondence. She thought that her own style might seem abrupt and an appr…

People want to know what you have to say, not what a piece of software "thinks" you should say. Don't let AI do your writing.

Whether motivated by selfishness or is a total clueless idiot, I feel you're on DNF grounds

My major problems?

1, if 12-step is involved, the friend will say they're an alcoholic because they still are, just X years sober

2, This never came up before? Really? That's unbelievable to me

if your kids need therapy after learning about gay people then I don't think the movies were the problem, chief

Oh, good, the Australian Financial Review has opinions about trans people again today. Can't wait

Spokespeople for the Evil Billionaire Cabal, wouldn't expect anything else from that rich man shitrag

Im sick of the subtle reinforcement of gay shaming in memes, “no homo” and “its not gay if the balls dont touch” type shit

Need to start curtailing all my gayass posts with no hetero of some shit

One would hope over 9000

If cishets need therapy when they see a gay person in an animated movie, what happens to the cishets in visual radius of me when I go outside as a trans person? Am I a mental nuke? I need answers, what's my power level here

Allies play a crucial role in supporting the transgender community. By educating themselves, speaking out against transphobia, and advocating for inclusive policies, allies can help create a more accepting society. Participating in Transgender Awareness Week and attending TDOR events.

This kitty was born and raised in West Virginia, and he highly recommends my queer Appalachian romances and romantasy books. (Really. I swear).

I finished building the Moderoid Bravern! Gay Robot Husband looks so good!

That's if they send their kids to school

Chances are they'll be fed rightwing talking points and conspiracist nonsense under the misnomer "home schooling" and possibly corporately punished for their free expression and critical thought, leading to therapy for all the abuse

Cowards. Look, my 7yo asked me what trans meant the other day (I have a trans rights sticker on my laptop). He immediately understood and accepted it, and declared it stupid that people are mean to trans folks.

Kids don't care unless you've taught them it's bad.

A whole lot of YouTube is acting real transphobic over JJK.

"How can a straight man be with a Trans woman?"

... She's a woman.

Aren’t you quite literally the director of a movie about the human mind and condition, wouldn’t you know by that point that this is literally not how it works, you don’t tell a kid about gay people and then they start convulsing and foaming at the mouth

When I found out I was nonbinary, I actually did experiment with feminine pronouns at the time, but quickly felt like it was wrong for me.

After this past week, however... I wonder if that was me subconsciously trying to hide from something. I've been feeling strange...

Will keep pondering.

Those kids are gonna need therapy from their parents force-feeding them right wing nonsense...

it's actually funny how conservatives call us "snowflakes" and then unironically claim that they need millions of dollars in therapy over seeing two gay guys kissing

If was allowed to be my self without people judging me, I would have the most prominent gay accent ever

I think what they're really trying to say is "How do I explain that queer people are bad when more and more of the world is saying they're good? How can I claim queer people are base animals when they're walking around openly being regular human beings?"

Has anyone made an essay about the disturbing mindset that at a lot of younger queers seem to have where they just assume queer people who are older are predatory by default? I used to believe this way when I was a puriteen dumbass, but I kinda wonder if anyones analyzed this more academically.

Fuck Pete Docter

No kid is needing therapy because gay people exist. Kids are 100% more likely to need therapy because homophobia exists.

Another sign of a cliffhanger done right?

my cousins reaction to my writing is so validating i knew i was put on this earth to write some gay shit
