I love this series. Fi is the best! Ever wondered what it would be like to live in a book? Fi can tell you ;)

UK folk, anyone recommend a LGBT+/trans business for buying badges/pins etc? I have some smaller ones, but I'd like some really big fucking ones that show what I'm about.

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Alright. I saw this last night and didn't share it because I wanted to get my ducks in a row before talking about this and make sure I could stand by anything I say. Last night I was quite angry. I still am. But I don't have the luxury of raging like a maniac. This is too important.

I forgot I hadn't watched the second season of Shiny Happy People and what a rough watch it was. I need all Americans to watch it and pay close attention the last 15 minutes of the third episode. This is their plan! They're taking over, and Trump is just a decoy.

You're not supposed to hear about @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's Dreams on a Pillow according to some very influential forces - so how about we make sure that game happens. You can crowdfund the full development of the game here. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

We had the pleasure of talking with @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social about his debut novel, The Republic of Memory, FWP and Arabfuturism. A clever novel whose review we will have soon (spoiler: it's excellent) Full interview: jamreads.com/interviews/s... 💙📚

In case you haven't heard, the director of Eurovision Martin Green has finally solved the hypocrisy of having Israel competing when they kicked Russia due to invading Ukraine. They are considering allowing Russia back because "invading a country is NOT grounds for exclusion".

This tale of ghosts is an emotional ride I strongly recommend - The Girl With A Thousand Faces by Sunyi Dean www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/5/...

I've been playing Guild Wars 2 again for a bit and wandered through older parts of the game and it's nice to see plenty of people exploring core Tyria. But I was the only one in Southsun Cove. No one was there, which is a really strange feeling in an MMO.

Juniper Blessing was only 19 years old when she was brutally murdered. Stabbed 40 times. Stabbed in her hands as she desperately tried to defend herself. This was a hate crime. Every person pushing anti trans rhetoric contributed to this. Shame on all of them.

Finished it yesterday, but this is a really smart book, trust me!

I have so many series! Just SO MUCH queer fantasy with platonic relationships at their heart <3 The below is as much information as I could cram in about them, and it doesn't even get to COMMON BONDS or my own short story collection. XD Find most links at claudiearseneault.com/welcome/ 🌈📚

2009. Haven't recovered since. But it all started in 2002.

#throwbackthursday Illustration for Sul - From Gold to iron and rust. Aysel lands on the ruined balcony. Sul is a book @logicfairy.bsky.social and I co-authored and illustrated. You can find more info here - www.sulbook.com

Now I just need to know that these books do well enough so that I can commission an illustrator for the Sword Goddess Acolyte Chronicles (combining the two books together) Like well enough - bestseller-ish? I am setting my bar too high. >.< www.snowywingspublishing.com/our-authors/...

Sooo I think I promised a thread of trans authors who are also amazing writers. I've done this before, but who cares, maybe someone new will see this thread and take a chance. One more sale is one more sale. (1/?)

Heather Cox Richardson has taught me a lot about USA politics. I don't watch or read the news. I will listen to her. She explains and rationalizes the news for me, she also gives pointers on what to expect and what US citizens can do to take power back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBWi...

In line with Israel's continued adherence to international law, it took the opportunity of the ceasefire with Lebanon to bomb Lebanese emergency response centers, killing two medics and a civilian. The Guardian rep-oh wait no it doesn. BBC repor-wait no that's on Eurovision. CNN re-nope.
