Serious question to all my #publishing friends, #authors, and #bookshops out there... Are there any established book distributors for queer/trans indie presses? Not amazon or ingramspark or any of those routes. An actual company choosing to work with queer presses. @genderwildpress.bsky.social

I don’t care if BlueSky is growing or dying, it’s nice here and I’ll never go back to Twitter - or bother with something like Threads - and honestly I’m pretty disappointed in all the folks I know who still use Twitter because they care more about reach than integrity.

tbh one of the really crappy things about being a tguy is that there are like, almost no historical figures we can point to and say they were like us, bc ppl will say "oh she was just pretending to be a man to achieve X"

frozen in the fragility of burgeoning sexuality, the erasures and erotic polaroids of the fine line pull text from teen novels, tease out the tension, and hold it in relief. @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive ― James Baldwin Night 💚📖

Today is the 10th anniversary of Ireland's gender recognition act. Ireland's gender recognition is through self-declaration without the need for permission from a doctor, panel or judge etc. In the past decade nothing bad happened. youtu.be/1f8OxezAqTk?...

Just a few more days!!

Brand new publisher @genderwildpress.bsky.social is looking for submissions. They particularly want some fiction submissions at the moment. GenderWild Press is publishing fiction and nonfiction works by queer authors. If you are a queer author, take a look at their website. #publishing #LGBTQ

it's prime day and bookshop has free shipping. yes please, but go further. it's a great day to think about ethical, sustainable, access to culture. under capitalism, we are where we spend and we die without art. buy from brick and mortar or online indie (every and) today. kithbooks.com/shop

a cool side effect* of being both queer and Crip is that the months just keep coming. be sure to stop by the shop and check out some of my fellow queer Crips kithbooks.com/shop * a less cool side effect is watching the government gut legal protections. pls call your reps.

We are loving seeing a huge number of bookshops picking up our brilliant northern indie fiction this year 😍 Please keep the pictures coming if you find one of our titles in the wild! Check out why book shops are investing in us here: share.google/bqprs1aRCoOB...
