June 6 is D-day, probably ANTIFA's most heroic moment.

Pre-orders are up for my new novella, so be the change you want to see in the world and support queer books this Pride! [This story has a trans protagonist AND a trans love interest AND a cult AND a pink fairy armadillo so obvs it ticks all the best boxes] Are you parched or are you flooded?

I have heard from writer friends that editors have directly told they don't want queer books right now, or have asked them to alter/remove queer characters, etc—a state of affairs which is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. Queer audiences exist and need to see themselves reflected in literature!

Critical information for our troubled times.

God: so you've written poetic books about queer love Me: is that a problem or— God: no, no! Me: but there IS a problem? God: well... Me: was it the story where I wrote— God: your parents as charming retiree serial killers? God: sort of God: the ending upset the angels God: i quite liked it though

"Women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormons Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men"

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

Just a-politically punching the worst people on the planet.

MY INTERESTS ARE CONVERGING HELL YEAH HELL YEAH

to me it's girls in love; i needed pictures of them to exist (it's f!blaze and edge from ac5)

reminder that at one point Britain had TWO Mr Blobby theme parks.

Bought an ace pride flag and they tossed in a pile of stickers including this surprising banger???

Not that I expected different; but it repeatedly pisses me off how little establishment liberals could give two shits about trans people and constantly show it.

Cross Posted Query For Wider Feedback. I am in the process of doing a form of ritual magic system; and an interlinked Words of Power dealy. Does it make sense to have what amounts of Level 0 spells? or just jump in at level 1 as the most basic. Plan is currently 4 tiers of magic across 10 levels

there's a moment early in the film of Ready Player One, where the voiceover says, "the only limit was your imagination", as the screen fills with pre-existing characters & IPs. It would one of the most on the nose satires of modern culture if not for the fact that it's meant entirely without irony

This is still an all timer from her tbh

A reminder, as we enter into this difficult period for trans ppl in the UK that most of the work that actually makes a difference in the day to day lives of trans communities cannot be posted online. Just because people aren't shouting about what they're doing, doesn't mean they're doing nothing.

Popped myself up on the RPG Trader site if folks would like to give me a follow :) I'll probably be putting some maps and token packs up there to try it out, see how we get on! rpg-trader.com/creator/154/...

My sweet little baby! I can’t believe we get to see her in the medium of MY childhood! 😭♥️🐞🍀🐓🐐🌱🐝🐞🌿🍃🍂🌸🌻✨🧹

Rip off Britain has a toxic combination of high bills and low wages. We need to move power and wealth from the super rich and put it back into our communities. We are offering hope and a plan. Vote Green in Makerfield. Join.greenparty.org.uk

As a reminder, Pulte is the guy who goes through the mortgages of Trump’s enemies, looking for mistakes, which he then uses as a basis to refer them for criminal prosecution. See, e.g.: Letitia James

Time to post it @erikaishii.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social

The GC Argument would be that trans people would in an ideal world have their own space for such. The typically very poorest members of society with the thinnest of social nets all passing the spare £5 around to the girl or guy who needs it that month.

But you said AI was never sick :(

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

happy pride month (now with alt text) 🌈🌈🌈

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

The UK trans & non-binary passport fund goes live this coming weekend; offering a glimmer of hope for a future that's self-determined for those in the community on low incomes. This initiative has been set up by the organisers of @essehouse.bsky.social via donations and gifts from their supporters.

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

eey! check out this years bundle of amazing stuff. I've got a whole big ol' sci-fi map focused coluring book in there for you (both printable and with separate digital illustrations)

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

Agreed. But headline deliberately frames it that I'm suggesting some sort of Labour-esque switch to the right or change in policy. Whereas I'm saying something very obvious - I want to tackle inequality & communicate that with people who voted for other parties because it will change their lives.

Curious from the Guardian. I didn't "warn the party" - it wasn't a party meeting! I said progressives needed to separate those thinking about voting Reform from the Reform leadership. I didn't say we "need to seek to understand" - pretty clear it's about inequality. Other than that - perfect!

Okay since I made that query post a few days ago, people have been asking—here's my Easy Guide To Writing A Query, broken down into three sections! I've seen them done in other ways but (in my experience) these have received the most positive reception and had a good success rate. #querying

For a limited time at HarperCollins.com, use code SUMMER10 for 10% off your order, or save 15% on purchases of $50 or more with code SUMMER15. Even better, select titles are already up to 20% off! Perfect if you want to stock up on queer 🏳️‍🌈 Austen stories like mine!

The UK has gone from warning their own citizens to avoid the US to "actually, trans people can't use public bathrooms" in ten years. This is fucking terrifying. bsky.app/profile/soph...

A very detailed assessment of the new guidance. drmikehill.substack.com/p/is-the-uk-...

The 15 year old trans girl suing Idaho over their bathroom ban took her own life and they had to drop the case because of it. It's not a myth, you fucking ghouls!

The point of these attacks is twofold: 1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true. 2. Grind people down until they lose hope. We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change. There is absolutely no way they win this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

And yes. We want power. For all of us. Power for rent controls, for wealth taxes, for action on the climate. Power for citizens assemblies and reinvigorating democracy. Power to end Rip Off Britain - together.

This is an actual Thirteenth Amendment violation, because they have not been convicted of any crime.

Join the Green Party for hope and a plan for change.

do they know about the IKEA kid's mimic chest?? bsky.app/profile/ronn...

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer
