Endless thanks to @submorstua.bsky.social and @lukejsuth.bsky.social for letting a middle aged lady work out her nineties and aughties shit in print. Copies of @lilacperil.bsky.social are still available to order but will sell out quick — grab one while you still can.

Get your gut repeatedly punched for the low price of just $20! lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

Ends at midnight!

A little more than a day left!

Late on this -- but if you have a few bucks to spare and want to spill them to keep the horrors at bay my publishing friends over at Lilac Peril have a fundraiser and auction (zines, books, services) going to support Alice Barbosa and migrant mutual aid more generally in the DC area.

Our launch events are a wrap! We still have plenty of auction items that you can bid on for the next week. All money goes to migrant mutual aid in DC auctria.events/migrantsolid...

sneak peak: @lilacperil.bsky.social

Join me and several other trans authors tonight for the virtual launch of TABOO, the latest anthology from Lilac Peril. I'll be reading from my story about a guy who makes sissy hypno porn music videos. www.eventbrite.com/e/taboo-virt...

Today I became a published author thanks to the lovely people at @lilacperil.bsky.social

See you in three hours 💋

The books are HERE 🫦 A million thanks to the extraordinary @radixcoop.bsky.social Copies will be for sale at our launch event THIS SUNDAY 9/7 at Lost City Books, but there’s still time to pre-order from us directly 💋 lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

We agree! See you there :)

Submissions open 🏃‍♀️

TABOO is almost here 😈 celebrate with us on Sunday, September 7 at Lost City Books for an evening of readings from contributors and other literary perversions

Tomorrow!

i wrote a short story in this btw. please buy it and come to the launch party in DC on 9/7

It is easy to feel this way but I truly think, for trans writers at least, writing books now is urgent. Write good books about your friends, get them printed, get them widely distributed, get them in the world. There has never before been an opportunity like the one we currently possess to do this.

August workshop topic is comics! :) ft. guest instructor Connie Jin Free, no experience required, materials provided RSVP: www.rhizomedc.org/new-events/2...

Holy shit the glowup is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Looks so beautiful and devastating from here!

Helping get these works into the world has been such an honor. I cannot wait to share 🥰🥰🥰

The proof is in ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 TABOO is currently being printed by the worker-owned Radix Co-Op, and we couldn’t be more excited!!! Pre-order now: lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

Get ready to get seminar’ed 🖤🌟 we’re hosting a 5 week workshop-style seminar for trans prose writers in the DC area!

Utter bullshit.

Seconded. We exist because of and for freaks and perverts!

Everyone’s saying it’s the summer of Picnic 🐜

alongside publications like DC’s Lilac Peril and Seattle’s TRANSplants, Picnic proves that we don’t need to wait for the approval of cis-run institutions to make literature at the highest level. i can think of nothing more important right now for a trans writer to do

Find us tomorrow at the readers fair!

ICYMI:

For anyone looking for murderous vampire dyke drama

Want a taste of TABOO before you swallow it whole? Find a sneak peek on itch, featuring visual art by Mo Taylor and short stories by @anemonebythesea.bsky.social and @exlibris.bsky.social lilacperil.itch.io/taboosneakpeek

Reminder that I have a story in this about a man who edits sissy hypno porn videos. Order a copy before it sells out!

So you've ordered your copy of @lilacperil.bsky.social and you still have a vague guilt about needing to order something from the start of the month? That's probably your copy of TRANSplants Zine. Get it. asterolsen.bigcartel.com/product/tran...

A little bird told me the best time to order a copy of the new Lilac Peril was twenty five days ago, but the second best time is Right Now™.

non-new york transsexual readers:

We’re pumped to table at the wonderful Readers Fair next weekend! 11 am - 7 pm at The Line Hotel in AdMo. Long live local diy print culture 📖🫡

There’s really no better time to pre-order Lilac Peril’s debut issue. Trans stories and art are even more necessary in this moment and there are some incredibly talented writers in here.

omg it's happening <3 ya girlie wrote a little story

There’s still time to register for our next workshop! This Saturday in-person in Cleveland Park, DC, led by Reg Ledesma 🌟 e.eventform.com?eid=ADw1noRa...

Issue 01: TABOO collects 30+ trans writers and artists all asking: when the cis world at large sees our very lives at taboo, what do trans people still not want to talk about amongst ourselves? Releasing in Summer 2025. PRE-ORDER NOW: lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

I wrote one of those awful lesbian novels where the characters just pine for each other and only ever fuck off-page. Go read @lilacperil.bsky.social’s first issue if you don’t believe I’ve changed

dc people! Kwento Collective’s first QTBIPOC open mic is tomorrow at Binge Bar, featuring TABOO contributor nawa angel a.h. 🪽 www.eventbrite.com/e/kwento-ope...

Equal parts humbled and excited to have an essay in this summer's Lilac Peril about the uncool trans women from the past we don't like to talk about. @submorstua.bsky.social and @lukejsuth.bsky.social were a delight to work with and have really gone above and beyond with this one.

Alternatively, whatever was going on with Sarah Palmer:
