1. A ballot initiative that would ban trans youth from bathrooms and sports in Maine is likely to appear on the ballot in November. It is bankrolled by Richard Uihlein, an anti-trans billionaire. It comes after Gov. Mills rejected Trump's anti-trans demands. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Bloodstained Porcelain has been out for a few days and I am still buzzing about it. If you have read it, please give me feedback and it really helps. Your opinions do matter. Also if you could spread the word about my story that would really help it reach more readers.

All this debate about "How do you draw someone as visibly transfem without crude stereotypes" and like... this is a solved problem. The answer is Joanca from Dirty Pair. They figured this out in 1985

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Shower Time is very important for a creative person imo. That's where all the best ideas come from. That's why I have to stand there for Too Long, letting the water run over my head, like a jagged rock being pummeled into a smooth stone after a while. Gotta refine those details.

I hope everyone who reads this can find someone who loves them -- more than that -- loves them in ways that helps them bloom anew. I feel such gratitude for my partners, for how clearly they show they love me everyday. 💕

FYI this is Harper Collins version of Monstrous Regiment makes transphobic changes to the endings of the characters as explained here: www.tumblr.com/falseficus/7... This book is such a cool look at gender and presentation and utterly ruined so the "women" never change from that role

Society: "We need you to stand here in this square for the rest of your life." Trans person: "This actually hurts me quite a bit. I think I'd be happier over there in that circle or triangle." Society: "That's not convenient for us." Trans person: "But—" Society: "Shush."

1. The President of the Heritage Foundation took to the influential PBD podcast today to announce his intent when it comes to transgender ADULT care: "You outlaw it." He stated that the foundation is working precisely on a plan to ban all trans adult care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This feels like a REALLY BIG DEAL. I personally don't buy from Amazon if I can help it, but when I Heart SapphFIC promotes my 🪐📚books, I for sure include their link. #censorship #lgbtq+ #sapphicfiction #booksky #writersky 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 How IHS is Responding to Terrifying Changes at Amazon

Long story short: I'm not waiting for Amazon to censor me. Starting April 13th all of my titles are going off KU.

True: many/most erotica titles have been excluded from Amazon's affiliate program, including non-queer titles. But also: Some queer romance titles *not* (visibly) categorized as erotica or erotic romance have been excluded. It's not ALL queer books! But it's some. Some numbers follow...

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising. IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar. Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

Something inside me cracked—cleanly, quietly,like a bone that had been weak and waiting to break. My breath hitched. Heat flashed through me. And in that flash, I felt it. A part of me—small, human, and painfully earnest—went silent. Snuffed out like a candle in a storm. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDH6DDDQ

Transgender bathroom ban bills are now expanding to private businesses. First, Kansas bill creates bathroom bounty hunters that could target trans people in any business. Now, Idaho is hearing a bill today that lets you sue a private business if it lets trans people pee. Our latest story.

Why does this keep happening?

”I’ll never stop looking for you”

A promise between friends (no, not that one - they couldn't keep it because Luna's straight and Miyako is female), and a paranormal world that is more real than they'd imagined. I mean, would you decline the offer to become a vampire from your BFF? books2read.com/u/bz67Ej

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

This book was a really fun read! And we really do need more books with gorgeous goth Deaths ^^

This, so very much. And it applies for algorithms on the big platforms too. You need some measure of success for your books to make it onto their recommendations lists, so getting that exposure is hard. Word of mouth, reviews and ratings, or just saying that you've enjoyed a book, can go a long way.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.
