Review of @nikkinull.bsky.social 's "Our Simulated Selves" an immediate front-runner for my book of the year. Absolutely fantastic, a must-read. strangecurrencies.org/2026/06/30/r...

You’ve Goo Gooed your last Doll.

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...

Hey, I just had a birthday recently! A nice way to celebrate this would be to like and repost my art 🎉

Back from @miamoore.bsky.social's "Again Again" premiere in Hollywood. Absolutely brilliant! This might be my new favorite. Trans cinema is deeply needed in times like these, and seeing stories and characters like this on the big screen is so refreshing. Thanks to everyone who made this film happen!

That might have been the single most "will absolutely crack your egg if there is an egg to be cracked" story I've ever read.

Here's one of my favorite slices of banter from my upcoming T4T farm romance!

Overdue profile pic update. Snapped a decent selfie at Pomona while lining up to see The Dear Hunter last month!

Queer/ Neurodivergent/ Disabled Authors, If you've got a book on Itch with a significant character Figuring Out their queer/ ND identity, and or Figuring Out how to manage their neurodivergence/ disability, you've got 6 more days to enter this bundle!

In a holding pattern while I wait for beta reader feedback. But the farm map I commissioned is turning out brilliantly! I can't wait to share it! I've also started outlining a new project, because the writing bug is still biting. This next one could be wild. Time travel may be involved 👀

Metaphorically Pounded In The Butt By The Looming Threat of Cosmic Horror Shadow Cryptids Stealing Our Souls If We Get Too Dysphoric, But Also Literally Pounded in the Butt by A Fellow Closeted Trans Farmer

For my T4T farm romance, it seemed fitting to do main character mockups with Jazzybee's Stardew Character Creator as a starting point!

So, my four-year-old learned something new in her last week of preschool. She sticks up her middle fingers, then gleefully starts repeating: 🖕 six seven! 🖕 I wish I could say I didn't crack up and let her see how goddamn hilarious I thought that was, but now she knows she has a superpower.

✰ Basically queer 4-player co-op Stardew Valley ✰ Double trans uno reverse situation ✰ Only one jail cell ✰ They did WHAT in the barn?? 😳 ✰ Third act cryptid abduction ✰ Quirky paranormal investigator comes to foggy mountain town (he's a fake Russian cryptid vlogger and nearly ruins everything)

Utterly speechless. My niche trans debut novel has advanced to the semifinals in #SPSFC. Warmest thanks to all of the judges in Team Space Girls for their kind and glowing reviews!

Robyn is a chicken farmer so she'd pick Torchic. If Browt from Gen 10 stays chicken-shaped, she might prefer that because fire is scary. Ash would choose Toxapex, because he can sympathize with a scared little guy who does toxic shit to protect itself. Full teams and explanations in alt text.

WIP is dual POV, so here's both MCs! Robyn: 🚩 Overworks until she passes out and wakes up in clinic 🚩 Runs away when things go wrong 🚩 Stays closeted despite her grandfather's final words 🚩 Risks her soul getting stolen by shadow demons rather than simply coming out as transfemme 🚩 🚩 🚩 From Florida

Computa! Upload a copy of me into the computa! ...Computa, was that supposed to be me? ......Computa, why is she saying she's transgenda?

Stardestradiol Valerate (That only applies to half of the MC's though)

If you can see those cryptids, you're secretly trans and/or gay. (Apologies in advance to the entire Salinas Valley, sorry you had to find out this way)

The second draft of my T4T paranormal farm romance is done! I'm so excited about this one! Gonna give it to the wife for alpha reading, and then we'll see where it goes.

"Diane, it's 11:24 AM, and I've just walked past the most stunning Doll at the Great Northern Inn. Her choker was steaming hot. It kind of made me want one for myself. I'll make a note to explore those thoughts later."

Time for more unhinged NikkiTok, this time featuring my shitty acting and an uncanny beard filter www.tiktok.com/t/ZTk9G9pdX/

i don't know what the hell to do. Everything i could do seems entirely pointless now. How can I write, read, promote my shit, right now? I wish I could do more. I wish I could do anything.

Team Space Girls of #SPSFC #SPSFC5 is announcing our Quarterfinalists! Some really cool books in this first round. Congrats to these authors, and thank you to all authors for sharing their novels with us! #BookSky #scifi

Okay, I get publishers affirming that the books we've produced are human-made, but have we also considered bringing back medieval book curses??? Just saying.

Got your list for the Trans Rights Readathon? Join @sophiajt.com and I as we share a variety of works by trans authors that explore themes of identity and connection. rss.com/podcasts/gal... #TransRightsReadathon #booksky

Did I drive ~50 miles to a little pub in Pasadena because the band @thedearhunter.bsky.social posted some random GPS coordinates online at 5pm on a Monday? Yes. Was I the first person to request the secret package from the bartender, despite leaving really late and hitting traffic? Also yes!

The first draft of my T4T supernatural farm romance is finally done! I am absolutely screaming at the short and silly epilogue. I can't wait to edit this and put more of my unhinged weirdness out into the world.

Me on March 5th: "Inside me there are two wolves..."

I can't stop cackling at what I just wrote. I don't know when this book will be ready. It's gonna be in editing purgatory for a long time, I think. But I can't wait for this one ridiculous dialogue exchange to make it to the final draft entirely untouched.

Is it true that Canadian citizenship can now be retroactively granted regardless of generation? If so, shoutout to my great great great grandmother! I have no present intention of leaving California, but it'd be nice to have a passport that couldn't be suddenly revoked at one fascist's behest.

I've decided I'm going to celebrate #ReadAnEbookWeek by reviewing some stories in the "A Very Queer March!" book bundle! Link to the bundle in the replies! @ormakal.bsky.social Hints for the 1st book I'm reviewing: 1. It's by an author I've had my eye on for AGES. 2. Not all angels are innocent.

Check this one out! Along with so other cool books, my trans sci-fi cyberthriller, Our Simulated Selves, is a part of this bundle!

Mark Your Calendars! FEBRUARY 28, 2026 Don't forget to look up as Necron's Grand Cross sears across the sky, reminding us to set the Loudmouth, Locomotion, Jelly, Insomniac, Body Temp, and Clear Headed support abilities so we don't have to do the entire Trance Kuja fight all over again

Phrases I never expected to find myself using to describe the book I'm writing: "Chekhov's cryptid vlogger"

I also had an epiphany about a possible sequel to Our Simulated Selves. I didn't want to mess with OSS again unless I found a really good angle, but today I thought of the perfect title for a follow-up. I'm gonna keep that title to myself for now, but I hope I can write a book worthy of it someday.

Still making slow progress on that paranormal T4T farm romance novel. I'm finally hitting that satisfying point in the draft where the plotlines all fully collide. It also helps that I'm finally approaching the strange, twisty phase of the story that is more in my wheelhouse.

First turn off automatic card refills and spend down ALL existing card balances! You can buy one drink and tip the rest if you so desire. Starbucks makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year on INTEREST on the money they're holding for you. Your unspent money in their app is free money for them.

In a writing slump in 2014, I roughly outlined a prequel to my screenplay that would later become "Our Simulated Selves." It was titled 'The Scriptwriter' wherein the depressed coder Ren tried programming the supercomputer AI, TASA, to write a screenplay, yielding confusing slop and meta bullshit.

Sigh. Another year, another surprise $1600 dental emergency. Anyone know 320 people who want to buy a really cool trans sci-fi thriller for $4.99? nikkinull.itch.io/oss

Kids these days are so close to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything... if only they knew how to multiply those damn numbers together

'Harder mode' narrows it down considerably because I love sci-fi and horror-adjacent stuff, but there are still so many films that would fit for me. But none quite like Hundreds of Beavers. I have seen it so many times, but I could never get tired of this movie.

For our second year, I'm proud to present the TFR Reader's Choice Awards, the only literary awards where YOU can vote for your favorite transfeminine books of 2025 🩷 Voting is open right now! The voting period will last until December 26th, 2025 at 11:59 PM, so don't forget to cast your ballot.

For the last 10 years I've had recurring hip pain that flares up intermittently for weeks at a time, making it agonizing to sleep, walk, sit, or stand. And yet I hesitate to call it 'chronic pain' because it goes away sometimes and it feels like that label belongs to people who have it worse?

Good evening all. For this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), TFR remembers three transfeminine authors who passed away this year: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (78), Valerie Amelia Thompson (38), and Michelle Duff (85) 🖤 We also remember 367+ victims of anti-trans violence and suicide 🕯️ #tdor
