@linkara.bsky.social, could I please ask for a reshare/retweet/whatever it's called here on BlueSky for my new short story I've just published?

...now that I've battled auto-correct and actually typed a coherent sentence on my phone?

Jordan Ford, the Novice of Horror, returns with a new short story in terror. If you find yourself afraid, sweat dripping from your brow and your heart hammering in your chest, just repeat to yourself: "It is only a movie..."

Final Cut

I was sitting in my room late one night, watching the cheesy old slasher movies of my youth, the kind you'd watch with your friends and a few beers while you mocked how silly they were. There was a ce...

Jacob Frey is, as my grandfather would say, a bum. A chronic liar, a bagman for the rich, and an enemy of any meaningful progress in the city. Please don’t rank him! Thank you.

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:

Yesterday, I hosted an incredible event, "Ward 8 for a New Mayor." We talked about why we need a new mayor and then @jazzformayor.bsky.social , @omarfatehmn.com , and @dewayneforminneapolis.com laid out why they should be our next mayor. I came away excited about all of them and will rank all three!

Hey guys, for those of you who missed it. Did a video revealing the first 6 pages of The Caskets of Chaos. This is one of the scenes I've gotten the most compliments for. So, if you're on the fence about checking out the series, this vid is just for you.

@linkara.bsky.social Sorry to bother you, but my friend's mom is in dire need of surgery and they really need help!

A signal boosting will be seriously appreciated!

Hi guys! After what happened, it's evident that my mom's surgery can't wait, so I'm asking for donations to help to gather the money for it

She almost lost consciousness last night and the insurance keeps refusing to help us

Every help counts 🙏💕

Things have gotten even WORSE now. After I left the shelter, the place I was set to go turned me down becauses of a major panic attack, and now I’m stuck in a dirty two-star motel for the forseeable future.

Now I need enough to pay for the room until I get more directions. Please, and thank you all

This is a serious emergency post. As of last Monday, I have been kicked out of my house and the family refuses to let me return.

I have support in place to prevent homelessness, but I still need help. Please visit my Ko-Fi page to provide emergency funds. Thank you all.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

It IS very odd when you have the people who have not grown, do not understand the passage of time - still cite things that occurred over a decade ago and NOTHING else. The pseudo-scandals they were obsessed with that they pretend just happened yesterday. It's hard to call them hate-watchers when...
