Hey all, we still have a limited number of these charming stickers left over from our last Romancing the Vote. In honor of SCOTUS fuckery on today, the Trans Day of Visibility, we'd like to offer you the chance to get one. (Thread continues.)

It's Trans Day of Visibility once again! 🏳️‍⚧️🫰 My shop and comms are closed atm while I focus on some projects and taxes, but if you've never seen my art before- I'm Jay, I'm trans and Indigenous, and I make formline artwork!! Check out my art -> #telekitneticart cause it's pretty cool!! #TDOV

Sometimes my brain is helpful. Sometimes it’s like, “is there really that big of a difference between Willy Wonka and Jigsaw from Saw?”

there it is, all 7 continents

My list, which is QTd in the first post in this thread, has orgs actually helping trans folk in my state. I keep hearing this from many folks here - especially often lgbtqks.org Once again, direct mutual aid is most effective right now. People are organizing off social media as well.

Even when Transportation Security Administration workers get paid, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents could still be present at U.S. airports. n.pr/4bE3kvR

Thanks to Lish McBride and Marissa Meyer, authors of MOST LIKELY TO MURDER and THE HOUSE SAPHIR respectively, for a great YA fiction talk on Friday! Thanks to all who helped us celebrate these wonderful local authors. @lishmcbride.bsky.social #booksky

I loved @lishmcbride.bsky.social's Most Likely to Murder so much that (even tho it's a totally different subgenre) I dived straight into a re-read of her A Little Too Familiar, 1 of my top comfort reads - & 1 of the only books I've got in ebook, audio, & paperback! www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

There are so many ways to show up even if you don't do so in person, and can keep showing up after the rallies are over, because there is so much work ahead.

Last night I finished @lishmcbride.bsky.social's Most Likely to Murder (because I could not sleep until I knew what happened!), & I loved it SO MUCH despite the fact that it's not my usual kind of read. It's so much fun! You can read my rave Goodreads review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Challenge accepted. @kendareblake.bsky.social and I will get so weird.

Most Likely to Murder is one of Kobo’s best YA books of the month! I’m not sure how this works, but I think now I have to get into some kind of dance off/Thunder dome style competition with the authors until one book is crowned supreme.

Authors: file your Anthropic Settlement claims! Really! 1. They should have paid you! 2. Even if you would not ever have licensed your material to these people, this is a chance to take /real cash/ out of their pockets -- not speculative valuation on some invented multiple, /currency/

Seattle area folks—join us tonight as we talk about thrillers, teen horror, and why we were most likely to be in high school. www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/lish-m...

Not only stopping ICE camps, but also “data centers“ too

The pics of Trump at Graceland have the very strong energy of taking a dog to McDonalds before the last trip to the vet.

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

I had a really good time writing this one. blog.freshfiction.com/lish-mcbride...

Democrats introduced bills to end the TSA shutdown on: March 5 March 11 March 12 March 18 March 19 (x2) March 21 March 23 Republicans blocked TSA funding every single time.

Since Most Likely to Murder come out on Tuesday, and it’s about yearbook superlatives gone wrong, I decided to make a frame and show you lil’ ol teen me. Most Likely to Judge You For Your Reading Choices. (Specifically for choosing not to read.)

This, coupled with a shortage in fertilizer because of our adventurous Iran war, plus a disastrous immigration policy is pretty concerning. If you like food.

Seattle! You know you want to see @lishmcbride.bsky.social talk to @marthabee.bsky.social about her new YA mystery, Most Likely to Murder, on March 26! www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/lish-m...

Seattle area friends—come hang out with me, @marthabee.bsky.social and Tara Goedjen! www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/lish-m...

I was also VERY excited to come home from tonight's events with two books that make me very happy: a gorgeous paperback edition of @lishmcbride.bsky.social's A Little Too Familiar (to match my ebook & audiobook editions - I love this book!) & an early copy of Most Likely to Murder! 😍

New bookmarks by @vertvoltapress.bsky.social arrived today for Most Likely to Murder and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Getting ready for tonight's event at Third Place Books Seattle (Seward Park) with the fabulous @lishmcbride.bsky.social ! Will I see you there? www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/stepha... #romancelandia

It's my birthday, but I'm not exactly celebrating. I'm still unemployed. Still struggling to pay my bills. Still struggling to keep #BookstoreRomanceDay going. Still struggling to not wallow in the blues. I'd appreciate any help so I can stress a little less, at least for today. gofund.me/b0c3be3a6

When it comes to reading, books that inspire laughter and joy are every bit as relevant and important as more serious, dramatic fare. Lish McBride (@lishmcbride.bsky.social) recommends five funny, comforting, cozy books and series:

Last chance! I have an ARC of Most Likely to Murder up for bid, and signed books, but there are so many amazing prizes. Check it out!

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

To fully understand "Sinners" and the world of the Smokestack twins, we need to explore the Rust Belt Gothik, the tradition of Black speculative survival strategies forged in response to the pressures of the Great Migration

"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next." this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good

The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.

My mom nearly died from polio and spent several years of childhood bedbound, to the point where more than 7 decades later she still carries trauma from it. Fuck off with this fraud talk. Give me all the vaccines you have.

I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck

What’s fucking enraging about this is that every lovely turn of phrase the AI churns out is human-authored. Google each fragment of the below - “forged in dying stars,” “created in stellar furnaces,” “the universe is not indifferent to us,” “implicated in something vast” - and you’ll find a source.

Lots of cool stuff up for bid including signed books from me! www.32auctions.com/organization...
