I can not even count how many sex workers and sex worker rights people I’ve seen say exactly this- the play book is to ban porn which will then lay the groundwork to ban and criminalize lgbtq spaces, content and eventually people.

this is an open letter to publishers from @authorsabb.bsky.social. it should give you an idea of what authors are currently up against in the united states, especially those who are making books that contain marginalized characters (even and especially if those "characters" are ourselves).

This year was...a year, but I published two stories! "Future Perfect" was published in Asimov's in June; it's about slow collapse, the limits of art, and Ring Around the Tuna. www.asimovs.com/more-stuff/a...

My story "Other Kelly," in which a Friend Group tries to decide if game night might be better if they just let Kelly's doppelganger eat her and take over, is in Some of the Best from Reactor: 2024!

I know we're all tired as hell, but please get back on the phones and in your emails to write your senators and congresspeople to make sure KOSA fucking tanks as permanently as possible.

For new followers: I write! Novels, short fiction, comics, scripts, and occasional nonfiction. Recent stuff: TWO GRAVES, Image Comics: imagecomics.com/comics/relea... "Other Kelly," Reactor: reactormag.com/other-kelly-... All work: www.genevievevalentine.com

Am I here? No. Is it time to vote? Yes. Did the mayor slam a bunch of disingenuous ballot measures onto the ballot trying to consolidate power? Of course. Yes on 1, No to 2-6. www.thecity.nyc/2024/10/09/b...

Okay, looks like KOSA is going to the floor for a vote this week. Call your Senators and make this their problem! act.eff.org/action/tell-...

I have a story out in the latest issue of Asimov's! "Future Perfect" is about performance art, isolation, the end times, and Ring Around the Tuna. www.asimovs.com/current-issu...

A story about being so screwed that the veil wants nothing to do with you, and the power of (terrible) friendship - "Other Kelly" is up at @reactorsff.bsky.social: reactormag.com/other-kelly-...

“She hadn’t been surprised when Other Kelly showed up. She’d treated Other Kelly the way she treated tax season.” Read Genevieve Valentine's wry tale of fraying friend groups and the discontents of doppelgängers, “Other Kelly”! reactormag.com/other-kelly-...

I have a new story out in @reactorsff.bsky.social! Late capitalism, doppelgängers, and game night. Read "Other Kelly": reactormag.com/other-kelly-...

Hello, @glvalentine.bsky.social...

I know I am banging this drum very hard, but once it goes silent it will be too late, so. Call. Email. Get your companies to call. (I've spoken to five people in tech jobs who had no idea this was coming; they want this passed before people can start yelling. Yell.) twitter.com/lovingtaeonm...

There's another push on KOSA, which purports to "protect kids" while actually just enabling surveillance and censorship. "Isn't this the one we yelled about before?" It sure is! Yell again! www.badinternetbills.com

I’d like to retroactively add ‘Two Graves’ by @glvalentine.bsky.social @anniewu.bsky.social and @mingdoyle.bsky.social to my Top 5 comics of 2023 and apologise for getting to it so late. Wow! Not to mention the back-matter essays, Stephanie Lai’s especially!

TWO GRAVES is on CBR's list of Most Underrated Image Comics of 2023!: "evolves from a simple story of revenge into a metaphysical mystery." www.cbr.com/incredibly-u...

Delighted that TWO GRAVES is on ALA's Best Graphic Novels of the Year Reading List! (Especially chuffed about essayist shout-outs: @sarahmccarry.bsky.social, @esedia.bsky.social, @nkjemisin.bsky.social, Veronica Schanoes, and Stephanie Lai!) www.ala.org/rt/gncrt/bes...

A police officer searched a classroom at a Massachusetts middle school for the novel “Gender Queer,” after receiving an anonymous complaint The ACLU says they cannot recall any instances of police going to a school to search for a book

Looking to support small stores this season? Astoria Bookshop has signed copies of TWO GRAVES - my Death-and-the-Maiden road trip with @anniewu.bsky.social and @mingdoyle.bsky.social - with one of these handmade collage postcards inside! www.astoriabookshop.com/item/378xcMQ...

Everyone please call Senator Elizabeth Warren and tell her there is still time for her to do the right thing. She should withdraw her cosponsorship of KOSA and demand that the duty of care be removed and replaced. Otherwise she's endangering LGBTQ youth & needs to own it www.vice.com/en/article/q...

NEW: The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) has faced criticism from advocates who say Republican politicians could weaponize it to target LGBTQ+ content. But the ACLU, EFF, and Fight for the Future said state AGs could also use it to censor info about abortion. 22 Democratic Senators cosponsor the bill

I read @glvalentine.bsky.social ‘s Two Graves last night. I can only describe it as a literary constellation of diverse elements, from the 2 main perspectives to the thematically-linked prose passages. Curious about a vol. 2. If you like The Sandman, try it out, and def read her Catwoman run. 🐈‍⬛
