I’d love to throw a release party for my cyberpunk book, inviting everyone who’s contributed. It would be amazing. Alas, I’m too poor and Britain-bound for that.

if I don't get a BANG BANG sequel I am going to start buying copies just to eat each page as I read. i WILL be sated

Oh man, I was watching a show I forgot Anthony Head was in and started crying as soon as he came on screen

It takes me so long to shave my legs. But on the plus side I have massive thighs, so swings and roundabouts.

While I was funding my own books, I was reading a TON of other people's. In part for prideopoly, but also, some interesting non fiction and some weird ones. Book info the thread 🧵

Disability pride has my favorite flag and it's not even close

Its Disability Pride Month!🧵 I'm not 'proud' of having fibro. Proneness to chronic fatigue, pain & brain fog forced me to cut back to part time teaching, & limits my writing SFF, travel & exercise. But I'm proud of how I've learnt to recognise the NEED TO REST, despite my autism & ADHD hampering me

I told them what I thought of it. Push back. It matters. If nothing else, and they keep going with it, then they lose a metric shit ton of money when they do.

June’s royalties paid for my daughter’s next block of swimming lessons. So thanks from both of us for buying my books.

I swear sleep deprivation is one of my biggest sources of creative energy

literally something like a handful of shitheads with no hobbies are causing so much of our anguish.

Absolutely. Online was the one place I could be girl and explore how that made me feel after a lifetime of having those feelings violently repressed on my behalf. www.vox.com/culture/2019...

And specifically leaving reviews on trans/queer authors helps fight transphobia and queerphobia. It makes such a big difference.

“trans people always knew they were trans” Me at 15 or 16: I'm not into guys at all, but still I have this certainty that I'm gay somehow. Weird.

Pride Month is almost over, so to help us Read Queer All Year; authors drop your book description, graphics & all-store link! Readers/ Authors: also feel free to drop queer book recs & share why you recommend them! 🌈📚💙

Last day to get 75% off all my books 👀

My transition goals

Reading Battle Angel Alita for the first time and this shit is soooooooooooo trans it’s unreal

Gynoid auto-corrected as ‘gay kid’ and I think there might be something there 🤔

People be like "I hate graffiti" and yeah sure whatever but every time I pass by this stupid little sketch by a local guy called 'Wormz' it makes me feel happy, sooo??

Funny how many trans people have had 'downfalls' when they stop being palatable to cishet audiences.

Last day to get 75% off all my books 👀

I put a fertility goddess in my room and I still haven’t got pregnant

The worst thing about The Odyssey- other than it looks dull, desaturated and joyless - is that there’s no Greek actors in lead roles. But then this is the same dude who didn’t include a single Japanese character in Oppenheimer 🤷

You can also get 75% off my dark, sapphic literary romance Leave a Light On For Me. Depressed trans gal finds catharsis after falling in love with an older woman. itch.io/s/188435/pri...

To celebrate Pride Month, you can get five of my books for under £1.99! From cyberpunk and fantasy crime to supernatural slice of life, there’s something for everyone. itch.io/s/187217/pri...

The reason people hate it when you're shameless is that it means they're powerless to make you feel shitty about yourself.

three years ago today Begin Transmission: The Trans Allegories of The Matrix was released! what a lovely three years it’s been 🩷

This is a great personal essay. "Hormonal transition operates as a weaponized mutation. The act of becoming a woman in a political climate trying to grind you into dust requires you to become a completely new kind of organism."

A story in a magitech-dominant Seattle, about being trans, gay, and in love, but also about facing mortality and choosing to live and live boldly, despite war and empire. Written for a change of pace while I'm finishing a different project, which is a transfem romance in a cyberpunk setting:

I used to think being nonbinary Was a compromise. A consolation prize For this trans woman Who couldn't fully identify. But it's an event horizon, Transporting me to posibilities In the present and a future Where I can finally, Truly be me.

Hey Ya! but the whole song is just Andre asking every different kind of gender presentation what’s cooler than cool

The street finds its own use for things.

Fellow enbies, for preference which do you prefer: non-binary or nonbinary?

feels really stupid that a bunch of bullshit that happens when you're a kid gets to influence everything else for the rest of your life imo

Just saw a trans person describing herself as a "friend of Dax" and I love that so much.

Rewatching Cowboy Bebop for my book and crying at Hard Luck Woman

So cool Again Again is finally out. I backed the crowdfunder like three years ago and received this awesome signed poster.

My esoteric trans sci-fi novel, Our Simulated Selves, turns one year old next week! Now it's a #SPSFC semi-finalist. Check it out at the itch.‎io summer sale! itch.io/s/193486/sum...

Due to being menopausal and working through a few medical oddities, my cisgender wife is now taking: Estradiol Progesterone Spironolactone Which is kind of hilarious.

UK friends! Our queer trans sci-fi short film about love, connection, and hope, LONG AWAY, screens this weekend in the FP Arts Film Festival in SCOTLAND! The festival starts TODAY! Get your tickets here! www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/fulfilment...

Reading trans memoirs is beautiful and painful. Beautiful because they express experiential multitudes, the dizzying highs and lowest lows. Painful because it brings home how lonely, how starved of other trans people, so many of us were going up.

Steve Ditko didn't model Spider-Man's world-famous mask on the fetish gimps he was secretly drawing for side-cash* just so you could tell me that A.I. is "inevitable" *extremely true story!

HEY do you wanna join a watch party with me and @susanlbridges.bsky.social for our original cyberpunk action dramedy pilot live read/performance, ROBO WAITRESS ASSASSINS?? then are you in luck because guess what’s happening on my discord this Saturday June 27 at 10 am pacific/1 pm eastern/1700 GMT!

I don't think we talk enough about how annoying it is having a penis

My daughter is writing her own magical school story having never seen or read Harry Potter. So proud of her.

It's theft, it's wrecking the environment, it's lazy, it's insulting to everyone involved (including yourself!), but the main reason I'd never use AI for story writing (or planning, or anything else), is that I just enjoy writing too much. The act of it. The struggle. Knowing when you pulled it off.

My coauthor @jamiegeeksout.bsky.social and I are BEYOND excited to announce DREAMING OURSELVES INTO BEING: THE RHETORIC OF TRANS COMICS, through @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social, & featuring cover art from the absolutely amazing @assumptionprime.bsky.social out on February 4th! tinyurl.com/5u2fadxd

Still probably the greatest album cover of all time

EMBODIED EXEGESIS asks the question: "Do trans women write fantastic, weird cyberpunk?" and the answer is YES
