Happy US publication week to @finnlongman.com 's Wolf and His King!! It's been 6 months since I read it, and I'm still in love with it

THE REANIMATOR'S FATE (TRM #4) is out now! 📚A conspiracy to undermine the Society 📚A cursed book 📚Felipe battling his demons 📚Oliver truly embracing who he is 📚And a way for them to save their community books2read.com/trm4 Paperbacks available now!

Positively VIBRATING to be able to hold this beauty in my hands 🫣

I know this is now about 5 years old and was for a different fandom but every time I'm reminded of its existence I get forced into a state of shock like. How did I do this. What kind of mystery stimulants was I taking in order to achieve this and how can I do it again

Not to be dramatic, but I would die for her (Large Francis from Daggerbound by @tkingfisher.com )

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hand painted edges for Hazelthorn by C G Drews! Love me some botanical horror, messed up gardens, and (slightly) toxic gay love

SKULLRUNNER is out today! Get your morally-grey sapphic pirates hunting down their stolen memories and fighting a dictator now! Featuring: queer found family, gods that split via mitosis, sisterhood and sibling relationships, and abominable monsters from the depths of the sea!

I feel like the way publishing treats debuts is literally the opposite of what a debut is supposed to be. Debuts should be "Hi, hello, I'm new here but I'm looking forward to getting to know you all! Here's what I have so far!" But publishing treats it like the final performance in Camp Rock.

Whatever topics you're looking for in YA, there's a good chance they're actually being published. They're just being done by marginalized authors and you're not reading them. But the fewer people who read and promote those books, the less likely we are to see them again. Read more widely!

squad, I haven't even finished this book and it's already my top read of the year

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you. your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

"There’s the gagging ouroboros of history... you’re beating your fists against a wall that bears the indents of countless fists, going back forever." Over in Autostraddle, I write about queer generational trauma: how it works, and how to tell stories about it. www.autostraddle.com/what-is-quee...

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs. Bear with me for this one because it will make sense. You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

Officially launched !
