Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 6 copies of @tkingfisher.com's Nettle & Bone, which I *have* read, and *have* enjoyed. It's essentially a small story, about one sister trying to save another. Since this is a #UKKindleBookGiveaway, you MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one.

dan simmons, author of multiple, deeply contemptible works of racism fiction, has died. congratulations, and no, hyperion was not as good as the obituaries will say it was

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway, courtesy of @galatfemme.bsky.social: 10 copies of @sentencebender.bsky.social's Destroy All Monsters, which I *have* but somehow haven't managed to read in the past 57 days, that's what I get for watching 56 Days I guess...

Since we have a lot of new followers, tonight I thought I'd give folks a chance to read our most infamous series with a "pay what you want" for the first 3 ebooks! Please read these actual bad reviews first so you know what you're getting into! Then pay what your heart wants! payhip.com/b/dxkA

#KindleBookGiveAway I seem to have finally gotten my brains back after a round of not Covid, not flu. To celebrate, here are some books. Specifically, The Uploaded by @theferrett.bsky.social

#KindleBookGiveaway I am OUT OF CONTROL. This time it's another FIFTEEN free Kindle copies of @kerstinhall.bsky.social's "Asunder," open to the general public. I cannot be stopped! (Codes split between the next two posts. First come, first serve.)

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising. IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar. Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Coyote Run (Amazing Tales of Antifascist Action Book 1) by @lilithsaintcrow.com, which I *have* and *have read* and *have given away before*. This is another *fine* book to nominate for an award! Also a lot of fascists die and there's some flirting.

🧵 Reshares appreciated. Two sets of questions about audiobooks. (One for Indian readers, one for Indian readers who also write.) Disclosure first: I am a fledgeling audiobook narrator — about to finish my second book for an Indian publisher — so I have a vested interest in your answers.

Cached SU #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Maskerade by Terry Pratchett, which is not one of the set of Discworld novels I love. Not due to quality; I'm just not into broaddway shows and that means I missed a lot of the jokes and context. Other people assure me they *love* it. #GNUTerryPratchett

As noted by @galatfemme.bsky.social, Deathless by @catvalente.bsky.social is on US ebook sale for $2, so I got some for random giveaway. And one for myself, since I didn't have it, weirdly enough.

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway, courtesy of @galatfemme.bsky.social: 10 copies of The Teller of Small Fortunes by @julieleong.bsky.social, which I *have* but, naturally, *haven't read yet*, so let me know what you think!

Heads up: as pointed out to me by @galatfemme.bsky.social, A SORCERESS COMES TO CALL by @tkingfisher.com is on US ebook sale for $3, so I got some for random giveaway. I consider this a horror story.

I love when I see a picture, and I think, “well who the fuck is that?” and then the alt text tells me who the fuck it is

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of The Amulet of Samarkand (Bartimaeus Book 1) by Jonathan Stroud, which I *have* but apparently haven't read yet. sigh. And yet here I am reading Starship Mage books. Stupid eyes and brain, only able to read one book at a time.

Heads up: as spotted by @galatfemme.bsky.social, Passing Strange by @klages.bsky.social is on US ebook sale for $3; I got one for myself, and some for random giveaway. Fun thing: I actually decided to get it 'cause it said it was without DRM, and I wanted to see if I could download it as an epub.

Heads up: as spotted by @galatfemme.bsky.social, OF MONSTERS AND MAINFRAMES by @barbaratruelove.bsky.social is on US Kindle sale for $2; I got a copy for myself, and some for random giveaway.

The amount of United Statsians ABSOLUTELY obsessed with the concept of being a "combat veteran" and then criticising the empire they just identified with is obscene. You must overcome your own built-in propaganda, cos Americans are the most heavily propagandised people in the western world.

Maybe one day, Americans will finally have the discussion about how everything ICE is doing to them on the streets, is exactly what that "nice" family member of theirs who went to Iraq and Afghanistan, did to countless people over there. You cannot be separate from empire if you identify with it.

Anywho, things are messy. We are both complicit in terrible things while also being subjected to horrors. We perpetrate harm and also experience it.

I guess I just don't take what people living in other countries say about the U.S. personally. I live in the heart of empire. There's a lot to be pissed off at the U.S. about. I understand their anger.

SOMEBODY STOLE IT AGAIN 🤬

hi ☺️ #bloomposting

When corpses were choking the rivers and shores, crematorium gates were melting from overuse, and Indians were begging on the streets and on Twitter for hospital beds and oxygen canisters, the government of India asked for money & kept it for themselves. I'd say never forget, but India already has.

is there no escape

What I find telling here is that the possibility of him being turned on BY MEN was still judged to be threatening. This is a group of cishet women arguing that the presence of gay male sexuality was threatening to them as they gathered to watch a show about gay men. This is unabashed homophobia.

Uncached, impulsive US #KindleBookGiveaway: 4 copies of @chuckwendig.bsky.social's The Book of Accidents: A Novel, because it is a good book (reminded me a lot of The Talisman), there are owls, and it has a perfect ending.

SOMEBODY STOLE MY FLALLER 🤬

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

“Where do you get your ideas from, Ms Le Guin?” From forgetting Dostoyevsky and reading road signs backwards, naturally. Where else?

Heads up: as noted by @galatfemme.bsky.social, Olivia Waite's Murder by Memory (Dorothy Gentleman Book 1) is on US Kindle sale for $3; I got a copy for myself, and some for random giveaway.
