You can switch to Tidal, it takes less than ten minutes and you switch incredibly easy. Honestly I should have done it years ago.

Playing Dispatch and I’m obsessed. Can’t believe I’ve only got 3 episodes left. I don’t ever want this game to end.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

You can't set a limit on who writes what. But you can remind folks that the real world oppression and exclusion of LGBTQ+ folks is ongoing, so supporting queer authors is likely far more helpful at ground level than focusing on books that feature one MM kiss written by a straight guy.

TRANSMISSION Wednesday 11 March 2025 L An extraordinary thing. A line up of stars performing at Wembley Arena to show their love and solidarity with the trans community In aid of Good Law Project and Not A Phase Tickets on sale 2nd December Register now for tickets at www.transmissionlive.uk

What does it take to crowdfund a creative project? Hear about the experiences of @georgiacooked.bsky.social and @fiotrethewey.bsky.social as part of this month's BFS Ask an Expert column 💪🏻

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.

I’ve got to ask, men of the world, how the hell do you cope with the fact there’s usually like one cubicle in pubs? Men’s toilets have been a relatively new thing for me in the last two years but every time I am honestly floored by the lack of cubicles (or even if there’s in order) we deserve better

The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

I'll just leave these here

My friend just sent me this t-shirt design and I need it so much.

*Minor background character in the Wicked movie is referred to as Avaric* Me, turning to Fio: SO YOU SEE. IN THE WICKED BOOK-

It’s been a while! Just checking in to say plodding along with work things (loving my time working in publishing at Curious King) and looking forward to a rest in the holiday season after a very stressful autumn. But tonight it’s Wicked For Good and a dinner date and Doctor Who Party tomorrow!

Trying to restrain myself from dropping all the Deep Oz Lore on @fiotrethewey.bsky.social while we watch Wicked together this evening. It’s a struggle.

I think one of the hardest things about being a career writer in traditional publishing is that writing attracts the neurodivergent brain while the variable reinforcement schedule punishes it. We are all the rat at the water bottle, waiting for the hit of cocaine. You get one win, and you need MORE.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year. Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person. We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

Georgia and I are joining as guests for the Vworp Doctor Who Anniversary Party! Come join in the fun on Saturday! www.fatsoma.com/e/ug9mo0io/v...

Happy International Men’s Day to all the incredible trans men out there. Thank you for existing.

Today is International Men’s Day. So here’s to refugee men fleeing abuse, trans men denied healthcare, queer men bullied for being different, Black men racially profiled, disabled men excluded from work, and all the other men who fail at being “real men.” May we continue to cultivate our humanity.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women. Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

This is such a beautiful thread of trans people showing joy ❤️❤️❤️

Hi @jessiegender.bsky.social ! I hugely enjoyed your video on "The Best Star Trek This Year Was… an Audio Drama". In the video you said you wanted to get more audio dramas, and I wanted to bring to your attention the number of queer and trans creators who are currently working in the medium!

It's Trans Awareness Week! So increase your weekly awareness of us by reading our stories. (Our books also make great holiday gifts for your conservative relatives you'd like to never speak to you again!)

Check out our new episode featuring Lou Sutcliffe (@loujsutcliffe.bsky.social), featuring discussion of the importance of diversity and empowering actors in audio drama!

Unfortunately we weren’t able to raise the amount we need to make season two of Holmwood. We’ve seen it coming for a few weeks now, but it’s still a huge blow. However, making season one was an utterly amazing experience, and I wouldn’t change it for the world ❤️❤️

The Kickstarter has officially ended at £20,293 and unfortunately we didn’t meet our goal or make the amount needed for Season Two. The money will now return to everyone who pledged it. What’s next? A thread 🧵

Two hours to go!

GO SUPPORT REDACTED!!!

The Holmwood Foundation is a wonderful horror audio drama series from Big Finish writers @fiotrethewey.bsky.social and @georgiacooked.bsky.social. And you can back its second season. 😁 www.kickstarter.com/projects/geo...

🏳️‍⚧️ It's Trans Awareness Week (Nov 13 to 19)! 🏳️‍⚧️ If you're a cis person who has the financial ability and/or in position of power, I recommend you to exercise your privileges and give direct support to trans people and/or hire trans people because awareness isn't enough. Thanks! 😊✨

If anyone can today please can you share as there’s only 10 hours left. Even if we don’t hit our goal we can use the final outcome to prove to potential sponsors the support we have for the show.

Just under a day left now and we’re at 30% for our Season Two Kickstarter of our Found Footage horror fiction podcast designed as a sequel to the novel Dracula Any funding at this point still helps as it proves to potential investors that we’re worth supporting as we make new plans for Season Two

Just 33 hours to go until the Kickstarter ends I know it looks bleak but please keep donating and sharing. 33 hours isn’t long. But the more support we have, we may be able to prove to future investors/sponsors how much support we can feasibly raise ourselves.

We're putting @fiotrethewey.bsky.social & @georgiacooked.bsky.social in the hotseat for November. These audio drama writers are ready and willing to answer your questions about **using crowdfunding to support your creative projects** - just as they've been doing for @theholmwoodfnd.bsky.social. 🧵⬇️

I can’t back until pay day on the 25th but you absolutely should!

Give our friends a hand! Only a few days left now and it’s a fantastic show that’s well worth your time and money!

one of the big reasons we're asking for so much money for Phantom Pulse is bc I want to do everything I can to make it a union production so my actors can potentially* get healthcare that I will also be paying for in part with the funds we raise with kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

For anyone who missed the livestream last night! Presenting the initial sketches of young Jeremy and Tom, by the amazing Briar White, who will be drawing our (stretch goal) Prequel comic! For more information, and a link to Briar's webcomic It Ends In Dirt, check out our Kickstarter link below!

This is what you’re missing if you’re not in the stream, btw.
