Our sleep paralysis demon is wrinkling its nose and saying, "God. I would NEVER do that to you."

Some people have sleep paralysis demons, I have the little voice in the back at my head that whispers “maybe Starfield is good now, don’t you want to find out?”

Anyway in other news because I literally never learn, I tried to play the new Starfield update, and the game continues to be actually unplayable on my high-spec gaming laptop.

BTW are folks enjoying this style of full-catalogue historical reading? I'm having a lot of fun working through everything Roberta Angela Dee has written, and I'd be happy to do similar readthroughs with other authors. Rachel Pollack's oeuvre could be a lot of fun.

Clearly my gut for these novellas was pretty good, cause I read the best ones first. This is bland forgettable TG/TF that feels like it should have stayed on Nifty.

👀

Alright we've made it this far, let's take things home 🩷 The fifth and final Roberta Angela Dee novella, let's give it a spin!

While this is the funniest Dee novella with some great empathetic character work, it's marred for me by tired dated tropes and *clothing ad* in the middle of the text. Do not advertise to me if you want me to take your fiction seriously.

And again, I can't stop looking at @anemoneart.bsky.social's incredible cover. My girlfriend really knows how to art!

The world is on fire, but nevertheless we persist. Hopefully a reading thread can add a little bit of levity to my feed. We're on to my fourth Roberta Angela Dee book! This one comes in at a two year gap after the dual novellas in 1999, so let's see what it's about 🩷

The nuns are loose! "Lo, Nuns!" is now available from your favourite online bookstore, and probably your least favourite too. (Looking at you, Amo) Printed version available too, for those starting a religious library! If you are ready for a dose of transfem, lesbian nuns, please check it out!

I like that Sasha by Roberta Angela Dee has a Reluctant Press disclaimer urging people to seek a therapist by Harry Benjamin Standards right before the first chapter says, "It's bullshit that transsexuals have to be made to live as women for a year before we get healthcare".

Torontonians, come celebrate the launch and see Gwen read LIVE at @anotherstoryto.bsky.social TONIGHT with @hausofdecline.bsky.social hosting

MISSED CONNECTIONS WITH TALL GIRLS is OUT NOW Read this collection of: NONSTOP train hopping pill popping fur wearing sink pissing tranny punk odes! Buy Paperback: www.littlepuss.net/shop/p/mc-pr...

I am so excited to read this one 🥳

In preparation for the Narratess indie sale, I've reduced the price of A Quiet Universe to a truly unreasonable $1 USD on both Itch and Amazon! It'll remain at that price until next Tuesday, so go take advantage of my insanity: tinylesbianrobot.itch.io/a-quiet-univ... www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWVHH69J

⭐ Read by the early progenitors of black trans literature, Roberta & Ren (1999) is a radical piece of fiction, from its quiet depiction of a T4T black relationship, its callout of racism in 90s trans communities, and its deep musings on gender and sexuality. This novella should be a keystone text.

While trope-y and dated, Roberta Angela Dee's debut 1999 erotica novella is an unabashedly queer and kinky exploration of trans identity and becoming. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a starting point, but you can see the clear foundations of her later work.

If women are really your favourite guy then prove it by coming to hear ME read ALOUD from the BOOK i promise to do silly voices & maybe cry at a @swsworlds.bsky.social live author reading on April 16th #SWSWQR 8 minutes each, 6 brilliant minds, only one ME 🔗 Register: tinyurl.com/m5n37k5n

Roberta Angela Dee was also the writer who originally uncovered the Anne Lawrence medical board investigation and resignation and posted it on USENET in 2002! USENET was absolutely bonkers trans discourse. A toxic crucible that few got through unscathed! www.transgendermap.com/people/rober...

The Machines of Consent audiobook, narrated by @autumnwolff.bsky.social, is now live on itch! transistance.itch.io/machines-of-... We'll also be working in the coming weeks to bring it to other audiobook platforms.

Alright, second Roberta Angela Dee book of the day! I may be most excited for this one, cause it's about a t4t relationship between a transfemme and a transmasc written in 1999 👀 Misty Malveaux did a lot of Reluctant Press illustrations in this era, wonder if she was also trans.

More lesbian reading material just dropped

Yesterday I said I was behind on recent releases... Which is why today I'm reading the complete life works of Roberta Angela Dee! 😂 For those unaware, Dee is possibly the most important novelist in black trans literary history. I've been researching her work, so excited to read her oeuvre 🩷

It is international Asexuality day! I may not feel sexual desire, but that does not mean that I'm not interested in sex. in fact, I find talking about fun and I love to explore how it influences so much allo behavior and how they don't realize that! cyberneticcoven.itch.io/autumnal-con...

I love how updating the N&U page always turns Damn I'm so behind on my reading into DAMN I'M SO BEHIND ON MY READING. In related news - if there is any transfemme book published in 2026 missing from this list, let me know! I just added like 25 books, ready to add some more.

⭐⭐ Isabel Pabán Freed's sophomore novel is the most difficult transfemme novel of 2025 and a triumph of literary metamodern fiction. This may be my best review yet. It'll definitely be going on the main site in a few days.

⭐ If you've never read Kama LA Mackerel's poetry, you're missing out on some fantastic stuff. This collection slaps and I highly recommend it to casual poetry fans. Super fun and accessible.

Check it out - I've got a piece about land, human macrame, and warrior cats in this one!

Holy shit I've been searching for this for years, fantastic news 👀

Clearly Sharp Pink Claws did its job, because here I am reading my second @metonymypress.bsky.social book this week. Kama La Mackerel's poetry has already impressed me once this week, let's see how the collection fares 🩷

Dylan Mulvaney's memoir has strong, competent writing, but it's still a straightforward celebrity confessional at the end of the day. If you want Girl Talk and gossip, this absolutely might be your book.

Friends we need to talk about Jack L. Chalker who wrote a series of mass market paperback books in the late 70s and 80s. An often recurring theme in his work was a means of body swapping, sometimes same sex to same sex but more often cross sex. I recently stumbled across what is perhaps the apogee

I made "charoset." Chag sameach friends 🩷

I promise this isn't an April Fools joke: The New Yorker really did run a piece about me and my book WHAT WE ARE SEEKING. (Note: contains spoilers for WWAS.)

OMG you guys I am so excited to finally read my MOST REQUESTED BOOK OF ALL TIME 😱🥵✨✨ I have heard so many good and steamy things about this one 🔥 so let's see what all the hype is about!!! #booksky #romantasy #hotgirlreads

Lots to reflect on here 😔

Casual evening with @dylanmulvaney.bsky.social's memoir 😴
