FATE OF THE STORM GODS &
EMPIRE OF THE FEAST OUT NOW!

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Eligibility Post INCOMING:

Hey, hi. My novella EMPIRE OF THE FEAST is the new kid on the book, but I'd appreciate any Nebula consideration you have to spare. It's extremely queer, BIPOC driven, & hella weird.

SFWA voters can reach out to me or @neonhemlock for copies. 🖤👾

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Truly can't begin to tell you how cool and daunting it is to be published alongside all these folks. Pinch me. 😵‍💫

@meakoopa Omg 🫠😮

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

@LadzWriting my work is full of horny dudes in good lighting & that's presumably 'art', yet an onlyfans account full of… *checks notes* horny dudes in good lighting is merely 'content' and therefore less serious? Less deserving of protections? Equity? Solidarity?

the argument is unserious.

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Oh hey, don't mind me: just starting fights on the internet over on my alt account.

[Benjibright.bsky.social @benji_bright]

It finally crystallized for me why I tend to side-eye the furious opinions on the term 'content' in arts communities. For me, there's nothing precious about art. It's work. It's work like waiting tables was work.

[⛓️🩸Psych.🩸🪽ON HIATUS @bloodydevotion]

what an incredible workshop by @Bendied!! a lot of good tips on consent and eroticism that i’m going to hold on to on my writing journey! don’t think i’ll look at the word ‘juices’ the same ever again tho😂

now let me go write my weird erotic requited lovers cannibalism short😜

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

@ebonidunbar @LambdaLiterary Omg how *ucking huge! Incredible! Congrats! 💚💚💚💚

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

If we can't make that happen, then falling into a subway grate while texting some chucklefuck I don't even like that much is also fine. Just make it worthy of a segment on Six Feet Under, you know?

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Late stage capitalism feels

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Tbh I haven't looked at the site and I'm not going to because my ideal death is being immediately vaporized by God after a particularly egregious bit of blasphemy while my poor public defender guardian angel throws xir hands up.

Especially in light of how things are going, this is the first and only piece of kink at pride discourse we need this year.

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Just reading it back makes me slightly queasy. Like, who did I think would find this hot? 😂

[Bendi Barrett @Bendied]

Come to this and listen to me share an excerpt from the very first piece of smut I ever wrote! It's as bad as you think it is. 😅🙈
