Just under 24 hours until the crowdfund closes! This will be your last chance to get the book until at least summer 2027. And by backing you’re also supporting great causes.

Authors who I've read more than 3 of their short stories? Esther Alter PH Low Dominique Dickey Isabel J Kim Sarah Pauling Thomas Ha Joe Koch Sameem Siddiqui Monique Laban [redacted] all of these authors are really good and you should go read their stories!

a close friend of mine forgot to renew her domain, and she got pushed off the first page of search results, and now she's slowly fading from reality it's really sad, because like, i can't even remember her name anymore

most people don't know this, but if you die in SEO, you die in real life

I have a story in this!

We did it! We’re fully funded 🎉 This book is now a garenteed reality. Thank you to every single person who supported, backed and shared. But there’s still one week left and three stretch goals to go. The more it raises, the more goes to good causes. Hack the planet!!!

Just started the second story. Another banger. Why did I set this aside? Done be afraid of trans story collections! Embrace them!

I made a Pickler Triangle! It was a fun quick build (~1 month), but really made me wish I had 1) a drill press and 2) a dowel making jig (omg why are dowels so expensive) Also, my first time using milk paint! I usually hate hate hate paint, but milk paint is surprisingly nice to work with.

COVER REVEAL DAY!!! THE BEST DAY!!!

Hi, I want this book to happen. Please make this book happen—back, hit repost, tell a friend. Four days to raise just over $3000, four days to bring more queer stories into the world.

OMGYES - I had the privilege of hearing @robotleblanc.bsky.social perform "Ignore All Previous Instructions" out loud and it's such a banger (Looking forward to the whole issue!)

can’t believe it’s finally my turn to do this but: COVER REVEAL!! here is the long-awaited cover for CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF STARSHIPS by the incredibly talented Kamille Rodriguez pre-order here: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cloudy-wit...

this is the most Queer As In FUCK YOU story I've ever read in a mainstream magazine I'd describe it to you, but that would violate bsky's terms and conditions, so you should just go read it instead

i also love it when publishers make their EPUBs look nice I just bought PERSONA from @littlepuss.net and the font/layout choices already have me sickos.jpg even before i start reading

Be part of the first-ever book exploring transness in cyberpunk Your support is an act of resistance in a time of surveillance & censorship What’s more punk than that? Not-for-profit crowdfund runs until March Let’s chronicle the new cyberpunk canon together! 🔗 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

and yes, this IS a bookshop.org callout post

I love it when publishers let me buy the EPUB directly from their website

incidentally: if you are in the Boston area and have ever appreciated a visit to their collections, know that their admin just sneak-attacked their dei programs and multiple curators of color with layoffs. www.bostonartreview.com/read/mfa-bos...

laundry folders used to exist, but they killed SO many people that their name became synonymous with extreme bodily harm (don't fact check this, pls)

i love the smell of a dark roux toasting on a cold morning

I woke myself up with a panic attack at 4am, and then I was angry at my traitorous brain, and then I re-read @jessfrom.online's "Residuals" and then I could get on with my day at some peace with myself. you guys I don't know how art does what it does but it matters, we need it, please keep singing

hey check this out exzines.bigcartel.com

IT'S HERE! We are SO thrilled to officially reveal our Issue 1 table of contents! Every single piece in this issue is unbelievably good, and we cannot wait for you to read these stories and poems in March. These authors are amazing 🪐🗡️ More details in the thread! 🧵 (1/6)

A promising beginning

I really enjoyed this fucked-up cyberpunk revenge story by @sarahpauling.bsky.social HORROR IS FLESH! clarkesworldmagazine.com/pauling_02_26/

what's up, my story "remember me in the meat" is a queer cyberpunk revenge story set in the PNW (and also in a cult). i think we should store all of our memories in the cloud without a backup, btw. i think that would go really well

cyberpunk belongs to trans people, and this book is gonna be full of razor-sharp analysis and commentary about cyberpunk stories past, present, and fifteen minutes into the future. trust me, you wanna go back this and be a part of it!! (also i’m gonna be editing it 👀)

✨ WHAT ELEGANT STARS is now funding ✨ satellites and sewists, terminals and tailors, dandies and dying stars www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

I've gotten a sneak peak of this book, and I am SO excited for it. You should back this if you want a fascinating analysis of the history and current state of the art of (trans) cyberpunk!!! (I'm also writing the forward for it!!)

It's me writing I SAW THE TV GLOW! Transfemme MC! Video games! Urban legends! SCP vibes!

There is so much good stuff in here!! May I particularly recommend: Redundancies & Potentials The Cosmic Color The Transitive Properties of Cheese All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From anthologies Embodied Exegesis, Luminescent Machinations, & the We're Here annuals

I got to do an endpaper for the Broken Binding edition of Ken Liu's All that We See or Seem. And I got to paint little robot dinos in it!! Thanks to Petrik Leo for the super fun project 😁

An excellent and cathartic story about fighting back against facism that balances fun tropes and a strong voice with dark subject matter - Magical Girl Antifa War Machine by @esther-alter.bsky.social escapepod.org/2025/05/22/e...

Do you (like me) have strong feelings about worms and/or your voice (knife voice)?🪱🔪 You should read this incredible poem by @aporianautics.bsky.social I've been rotating it in my mind all week.

This book is SO good; you might go mad reading just one more page, just one more page, until you get to the end and you find something ancient has taken up residence within you.

My last poem released today is called "writing letters in our sleep" inspired by a recurring dream I have of meeting my father as a trans woman after so many years of him being in prison, and the dream letters we send to introduce ourselves #queer #poetry twistedtonguepress.com/poetry/writi...

last potato harvest of the season

Absolute banger, one of my favourite books I've read this year

I'm thrilled to see EMBODIED EXEGESIS included in this amazing list of transfem literature! This is some incredible company to be in!!!

“Alter shapes a defi­ant tale full of energy, sensuality, and drive, and leaves readers to be moved and shaken by the power of the story, which is intense and wonder­ful.” Yes yes ok thank you this is what I wanted Magical Girl Antifa War Machine to do #shortstories #amreading

this story infected me in the best way (don't inoculate yourself against this story; i want you to read it; let it seep into you, let it breach the blood-brain barrier)

my guilty autumn pleasure is to visit the local orchard and inject helium into all the trees

This is an abandonment of the most vulnerable trans youth, for whom Fenway Health was often a provider of last resort, and signals Fenway’s willingness to abandon all trans patients. They must be pressured over this capitulation. We need your help - reach out, call, demand answers!

If you're cis, please actually call them. I can't articulate how bad this news is.

I've spent time with family, gone on a beautiful canal walk, and eaten delicious ramen already today - time to round it out with one of the most important transfemme shortform anthologies ever published 🩷 This paperback is one of the coolest rare copies I've worked with.

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work. Rest in peace 🖤

I made a crumb-catching cutting board for cutting bread. Made with cherry, hard maple, and poplar (all scrap wood left over from other projects)

Yesss! Rose Books uploaded the recording of Frack Me. I’m really proud of this one. Not sure how to give a cw without giving it away, but you’ll know after hearing the first line whether you want to hear more. on.soundcloud.com/3vHbB8uzAEl3...
