pinned post!
Time for a new pinned post. Once again, I would like to call your attention to my novel Love/Aggression, which is a half-surreal story about trans animosity and strange houses. It's a finalist for the Lambda Award in Transgender Fiction. Btw.

I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game

running out of time to pre-order the book that's been called "dishy and dirty, thorny and sweet" "dispatches from the crabs-in-a-bucket frontlines of modern transsexual life"... (pretty soon you'll only be able to normal-order it)

Terrifying reality check on Al Jazeera. Israel is systematically detonating and completely destroying entire civilian towns and homes across Southern Lebanon. This is not a war, it is a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing and total erasure of Lebanese communities. Where’s the outrage 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I think that as a narrative-consuming culture we have traded away sincerity and the ambition to better capture experience in favor of trope awareness and plot formalism in a way that brings back the worst of the sixteenth century. I think we all need to do better as readers, viewers, gamersss

Can't overstate how fucking fantastic this book is. I love these messy bitches so much. June's writing is so FUN, it's just a delight to read. She's clever and sharp but handles these characters with such care. If you can't find something that resonates in this book, that's a YOU problem tbh.
