6/17: Sounds Like Love, by @ashleyposton.bsky.social (adult romance) I’m sorry, a rockstar romance where they LITERALLY can’t get out of each other’s heads? www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sounds-lik...

A great app / website that (based upon a zip code you supply) will pull together the phone numbers and relevant reps for issues. You can click to dial and they provide a useful script. The app is the same name. 5calls.org

Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️ link: translifeline.org/donate/

VERY good news from @bookshop-org.bsky.social!!

Call script:

I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today. If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

hi, cis folks! meet S.9. it's the senate sports ban for trans athletes—a big step to something making trump’s executive order federal law, which is much harder to undo. short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️. if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.🧵

THE meme of 2025 for me.

Watching folks on the ground in Utah or Florida or Texas or Louisiana who've been doing anti-book ban work for years begging you for help and giving you action items that are very easy to follow and yet you're still screaming BUY THE BOOKS. You don't care about anyone but your own damn selves.

Jfc cis people, we really fucking need you on this one. Barring people from accessing bathroom facilities is barring people from public life, and if they succeed here they’re going to move on to barring them from every other possible place. Call your reps please.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

I know everyone’s spiraling because I haven’t seen a single mutual talk about Arcane Season 2 yet.

Ooooohkay. I guess I am sort of back here again. 😌

Book 52 of 2023- The Bewitching Hour by @ashleyposton.bsky.social Obsessed. Loved it. All the stars. If you watched Buffy at all this book is a must. And even if you didn’t, it’s still a must.

happy book birthday to @ashleyposton.bsky.social's HAWKEYE: BISHOP TAKES KING (my bestie wrote quintessentially YA superhero!), STARLING HOUSE (a delicious appalachian gothic horror romantasy), and MOLE IS NOT ALONE (a super sweet picture book for anxious littles). run, don't walk, for these three.

Fascinating--and in some cases depressing--facts and figures from the Authors Guild's newly-released author income survey. There's news here for trad-pubbed, self-pubbed, and debut authors www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Hi! Lots of artists trying to find community again so here I am with my space pottery. Everything is hand-painted with glaze 💫

The Washington Post confirms TNR’s report that 303 Creative apparently fabricated a man’s request for a gay wedding website in its court filings. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/01/supreme-court-colorado-website/

Seeing as how I'm busy talking about needing more artists here, I should probably share more of my own stuff too lol Heres a commission from 2022 I made of John Leguizamo's Tybalt from Romeo + Juliet!

This guy in FF16 looks like Jensen Ackles and you can’t convince me otherwise.
