Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

Great example of why AI is totally unnecessary to fool people. It's not how realistic something looks, it's how much you want to believe the point it's being used to make.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

We’re on Tumblr now! Updates will be a bit sparse until we start publishing issues but if you want to share our Kickstarter around there, we would appreciate it! 👀 www.tumblr.com/othersidespe...

YOU DID IT! We are at $12,000 exactly!! REPRINTS REPRINTS!!

So grateful & honored to have been interviewed! Hope everyone enjoys Mortality Play, which is out now in Best Bi Erotica of the Year Vol. 2: www.amazon.com/Best-Bi-Erot...

Celebrate Bi Visibility Day by getting your copy of The Best Bi Erotica of the Year, Vol 2 @ruanwillow.bsky.social @eskaykabba.bsky.social @phoenixdragon1.bsky.social @yvesdot.bsky.social @laurentaylorbak.bsky.social www.amazon.com/Best-Bi-Erot...

I'm in this! I'm in this?! I still can't quite believe it myself. MORTALITY PLAY is quick, steamy, and somehow the first piece of actual vampire erotica I (will) have published. Get your hands on a copy!

@bookshop.org @americanbookseller.bsky.social considering how many books are written by queer people; how many of those books are challenged each year; and the fact that Stripe is Bookshop's payment processor: I hope you're not only keeping an eye on this, but pushing back

I know lots of you have strong opinions on this topic, so I hope this will be of interest: "You are being asked to participate in a survey of romance authors and readers that is being conducted by Prof. Bridget Kies in the Film Studies and Production program at Oakland University."

Just started listening to the Audiobook of @vyriadurav.bsky.social's The Dragon and Her Princess and it's so cute so far! Clueless egg + hot buff lady that wants to kill her abusive dad is one of the top 10 pairings of all time tbh. It seems like its gonna be short, but very cute so far! #samreads

Affirmations for every artist here!!!

Allowing ‘no Blacks’ and ‘no trans’ while banning ‘no zionists’ is insane

HELLO COMRADES Could anyone affected by Itch removing items please send any evidence they may have to myself? I am filing a report with the Australian Consumer Commission, as I have reason to believe that Itch removing access may be a violation of Australian Consumers rights! Drop em below or DM!!

We've gotten quite a few new followers over the past week, so hey all! We're a tiny queer and trans press and our latest is a nautical trans fantasy, by @martennorr.bsky.social ! We've released extreme horror, high fantasy, literary fiction, experimental fic--we just publish what we love.

The banning of pornography always, always ends with the forced removal of queer and trans people from anything remotely resembling public life. it is an attempt to keep us impoverished, to keep us desperate, to alienate us from each other and our communities.

said dozens of times already by dozens of other people but i can't reccomend revisiting the stuff you were into when you were 12-14 enough. worse case scenario is you go "ahaha man this was silly" and the best case scenario is a joint rejuvenation of your inner child and your tired adult self

transsexualism will win. this is basically the only thing i know

Check out this review of the two first ever Vocaloids from back in March 2004: www.soundonsound.com/reviews/yama...

this still makes me giggle uncontrollably

The internet is a place people spend a lot of time, and almost everyone you meet is very much on it. When people talk about online people, they’re also online people. Most everyone is. I know this is obvious but I really feel like it hasn’t been fully internalized

Working on a t-shirt to sell to the weird people that show up in your mentions every time you talk about enjoying something that has crime or impure thought in it.

a fantastic, succinct thread on the nasty work of laundering fringe, unpopular bigotry til people who value not being like That Bigot Over There could swallow it & the replies are full folks doing “no true scotsman.” but transphobia undeniably flopped without the work of liberal institutions. 💯

Stag Dance (@torreypeters.bsky.social) is the best book of 2025, period. I just reread it for the second time in six months and it's only getting better in my estimation. <3

I got through a lot of stuff on tight deadlines, so now I get to relax a bit, B"H. I relax by................. reviewing video games?? (yes, I find this relaxing...) I need to make a thread for these. Anyway, this is the latest steamcommunity.com/id/prezzey/r...

FYI -- spoke to my passport office prior to coming in, and if you (like me) received a passport with the wrong gender in the last few months, you *can* apply for a correction (which is free) as opposed to a renewal (which is not). I will still be paying to expedite, to maximize my chances

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Author advances are paid *against royalties* and you have to earn out - make more than your advance - in order to get royalties In other words, an advance is actually a loan, they aren't REALLY paying you at all

"25 Palestinians were killed that morning waiting for aid trucks. Hamza brought Hatem’s body back to Gaza City & buried him beside their mother, who was killed by an Israeli sniper in Aug 2024. Their brother, Khalid, 21, died in a Jan airstrike while evacuating wounded civilians on his horse cart."

This speech is what the fuck I'm talking about. Read it to feel like you could run through a motherfucking wall.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mom's death. She passed when I was 20, and never got to see me come into my own as a writer. But I know she'd be stupidly proud of me. To honor her memory, I'd like to ask those who can to join me in our effort to support trans authors in need this Pride Month 🖤

dolls to watch out for

Like there are 3 ways to cover this: 1) assume (correctly) that this is not a sane person, report it as an earthshaking scandal that the president is nuts 2) pretend that this is a serious demand from a normal president & report it as an earthshaking moment in US foreign policy 3) nothing matters

Hey not to keep shilling but please share this with like, the people in your life and stuff Also here on bluesky This is for food and stuff

This article is going live in a few hours! If you're a transfemme author, its not too late to add your fundraising links to the list ⬇️

It did not occur to me that there were heterosexual L ships out there.

Normal person: hey man how’s it going Me: We might be about to see our first ever female Classic Tetris World Champion

Update of the day is that my life is now separated into "before ADDISON" and "after ADDISON." Someday I'll write my post about why more communists should get into pop music and more pop music fans should be communists.

Please sign and tell my bosses to give us a deal!!!!

I'm proud to announce that I will be a judge for this NEW ONLINE RESIDENCY from the @cartoonist.coop!! We're looking to support comics that utilise the possibilities of websites and coding as a creative tool. $1000 USD, free hosting. Deets and FAQ here: cartoonist.coop/digital-resi...

Haven't seen this show up here - the Madleen responded to a Mayday call today from a refugee ship. 4 people jumped from the refugee ship rather than be taken by a notorious Libyan Coast Guard ship, Tareq Bin Zayed. The Madleen crew rescued all 4. freedomflotilla.org/2025/06/05/m...

sooooo i wrote half this list. i def put some romance in there, some resistance, but mostly what i was interested in showcasing was queer comics made with unorthodox and creative techniques. comics pushing the medium forward. enjoy!

Patreon exclusive writeup of the Los Angeles Katy Perry concert

Yay, new book review! Lucky number nine! Today, I’m reading a @traumbooks.bsky.social story: the comic version of a novel I’ve reviewed before, a + e. How does it compare to the book, and why was it reprinted after 14 years? Link to the review in the replies! #BRIB #BookSky #BookReview #queerbooks

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Yet another day where I think to myself, "well, I may be getting paid $0 for the work I self-publish online for free on my blog, but at least that's $0 I know I'm earning while not having to debate what I am owed with a party which actively lies to me about what they will be paying out..."

Happy Pride! Very nearly all of my work is queer in some way, but here's a little taster. How about... ...flash fiction about a ghost in the walls of a girls' finishing school? TRAGIC ACCIDENT / 1k / FREE yvesdot.tumblr.com/post/7007964... (🏳️‍🌈📚🏳️‍⚧️📚🌈🚀💫🔱🧵, click through for more!)

BlueSky is such a strange place. I have ~350 followers for Existing As A Transgender Author, which is absolutely lovely and much faster growth than I ever had anywhere else, but none of these followers seem to see or interact with my things. The logical step is to interact more, but...

It's kind of unfortunate that I like robots so much; it's pretty obvious I have a hyperfixation level of interest in The Forbidden Technology and I just sort of can't talk about it. It's so interesting! The art stuff is so interesting! It's so cool to think about what this reveals about us! Ahhhhhh!

It is my birthday! And my favorite gift is new readers, so I made this post of my top 10 (queer, speculative, literary, sometimes erotic!) stories to start with. And YOU can help spread it around! 🌿 yvesdot.tumblr.com/post/7832484... #booksky #authorsky #transfiction #queerfiction 💙📚🏳️‍⚧️🌈🪐📚
