From April 10-20 there will be an co-op bundle on itch.io autistic indie authors. 10 books for $10 supporting and celebrating autistics during Autism Month! itch.io/b/2953/indie...

Have you looked at this incredible bundle yet? There are so many authors I love in there, I can't fit them all in Bluesky's character limit! Huge thanks to Al Hess for putting this together. And we're already halfway to our goal!! itch.io/b/2927/sff-b... 🌈🚀💫

Good news for fellow authors disheartened by your books being illegally used to train AI; "If your book was used by Meta, you’re automatically included in the Kadrey v. Meta class action in Northern California..." And @authorsguild.bsky.social has some practical steps you can take.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

The 2025 Trans Rights Readathon starts on March 21st and runs through the 31st. The goal of this event is to Uplift, Amplify, and Support trans authors, trans stories, and trans communities. 🏳️‍⚧️💙💗🤍

Life is so short. We are all going to die. Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best. Love is what makes life tolerable and good. Those who take that away are the cruelest, most wretched.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

I just did this. It’s not much but it felt good

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

My gender identity is all-inclusive feminism

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Now more than ever.

I guess it turns out that US leadership culture is nothing more than three insipid clichés in a trench coat.

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates. Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up. And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

*adds “time grifted” to my lexicon*

Every time you see a story in the media announcing that puberty blockers are banned, it's untrue. They've just been banned for trans kids. Cis kids who are in distress because of precocious puberty still get them. Trans kids who in distress, don't. People, generally, don't know that.

Speak up. Yes. Then get to work. Equal justice under the law means the trans community deserves a permanent solution to ensure their rights & needs are being met. As the parent of a trans adult, I demand it 🏳️‍⚧️ #ProtectTransKids #ProtectTransAdults

Review: The Revenge of Captain Vessia by Leslie Allen 🌈📚 #BookSky #Pirates #LGBTQIA thenovelapproachreviews.com/2025/01/23/r...

this right here is the whole fucking truth

This book was amongst by Best Reads of 2023: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This story contains and covers multitudes. It ties its character to the sticking place, and we are bound as well, by a trans woman’s hopes, desires, losses, and visceral fears of the danger she faces every single day."

Review: Molly Boys by Vawn Cassidy 📚🌈 thenovelapproachreviews.com/2025/01/21/r...

This book is so fab 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

I’m not trans and I’m not going to speak for trans people but I am goddamn sick of ‘moderates’ blaming them for their own oppression.

This is my 8 month old pup. Her name is Cassie. She would like you to know she’s bored but will still listen #DogsOfBlueSky
