Honestly, Grok sponsoring a Tron movie is the most anti-Tron thing and just shows how much Ares is straight up corporate tech bro propaganda. It’s very sad. Tron has such potential and never fully gets there. Legacy and Uprising are good but Tron: Identity tbh is the franchise peak.

A sponsorship installation for Musks Grok doing AI bullshit at the Tron Ares premiere.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

This was absolutely wonderful. A genderqueer take on Beauty and the Beast that explores themes of identity, family and history and the different ways they can be interpreted.

My Manipulator's War (epic & portal fantasy) has multiple main & secondary characters with ADHD (some also being autistic 😉).
Its fast pace and my love of complex worlds and plot twists & turns are all indebted to my ADHD.

Fantastic and really inventive world building, topped with characters you will absolutely fall in love with.

Hey, the bundle is still going strong! Get 22 books by authors with ADHD/featuring ADHD characters.

Having been diagnosed last year, a lot of things were put in perspective, especially parts I've been beating myself up over for years. In some way, each of these books is a small miracle!

Elise (they/them)🇦🇺 @eliseswritings.bsky.social · 14d

What ADHD insights may this bundle provide?
My Manipulator's War includes
-restlessness, impatience & recklessness.
-two minds that do. Not. Stop. Thinking!
-the tendency to NOTICE things.
(The latter are useful in trying to understand a mysterious enemy's motives 😉.)

Everyone should get to see themself in fiction. But I often can't find as much neurodiverse rep as I'd like, especially in SFF.

So for ADHD Awareness Month, I've gathered 22 mainly ADHD authors & their fantasy/ other books with main/significant ADHD chars in this bundle

Gee, I wonder why people went from calling me a queer horror author to a cosmic horror author.

The fun part is how few were on purpose (Worm trilogy + Game in Yellow) vs how much is cosmic by accident because I'm a weirdo (the rest of it 😅)

Nonetheless, make horror gay AF 🌈 including cosmic horror

Includes or is cosmic horror: The Worm and His Kings, Even the Worm Will Turn, Song of the Tyrant Worm, Your Mind is a Terrible Thing, Unfortunate Elements of My Anatomy, Cruel Angels Past Sundown, A Light Most Hateful, A Game in Yellow, All the Hearts You Eat, No Gods for Drowning

No cosmic:

Cranberry Cove, Teenage Girls Can Be Demons, The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow

I don't think it's cosmic but many disagree and refuse to explain, is it the p***y tentacles, the rebuilding of a mind from the inside, what is ittt
