Questioning yourself, the work, if it's good enough etc. Things no one ever warns you about!15 Feb 2026 20:16 +0000at://did:plc:m7ishfkxaapa4fuzb3ldp233/app.bsky.feed.post/3mewe4cycgc22https://bsky.app/profile/colin-is-writing.bsky.social/post/3me4gda3br22gEvery single one of us in the queer community gets REALLY good at erasing parts of ourselves to fit in. Fit into families, work, love, and our own community.

We need to be helping ppl realize their worth isn't tied to their looks, not making them think it relies on it #justsayit02 Feb 2026 16:21 +0000at://did:plc:m7ishfkxaapa4fuzb3ldp233/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdvauqptwc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/colin-is-writing.bsky.social/post/3mcu7a6b75k2zIs today the day i finally get my ISBN's or do the ISBN Gods still want me to suffer 🤔20 Jan 2026 12:53 +0000at://did:plc:m7ishfkxaapa4fuzb3ldp233/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcu7a6b75k2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/colin-is-writing.bsky.social/post/3mcmyvawzj22eI think it's a wear comfy sweats and play Blue Prince type of day 🤔😍17 Jan 2026 16:11 +0000at://did:plc:m7ishfkxaapa4fuzb3ldp233/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcmyvawzj22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/colin-is-writing.bsky.social/post/3mcdpn5qlek23If there is one thing I miss about the alps is that it is a great place to start writing a new book....and the scenery. ...and the hiking ....and the peace13 Jan 2026 23:32 +0000at://did:plc:m7ishfkxaapa4fuzb3ldp233/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcdpn5qlek23https://bsky.app/profile/colin-is-writing.bsky.social/post/3mcapi7cq4k2oI will ALWAYS support queer art and celebration so if you are in the Palm Springs area check it out!! @richardskipper.bsky.social is lovely and will give you a wonderful experience!
