This is a really great list I highly recommend checking out

"Like Finn, Greaves, and Sirius, Rien Gray is a titan of the trans indie scene. The exquisite prose on display in Scales will make it fully apparent why, and it’s rocketed them to the top of my list of trans and nonbinary authors to watch." Oh, wow, thank you so much!

the thing about transition is that it’s so deeply about you that as long as you feel you, you’re not doing it wrong

The Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus is not allowed to make soup again, we've been over this.

This is really excellent advice I am bad at following but wanna get better at

The world is full of horrors but there is also perfectly smoked duck #cooksky #cooking #duck

It's not beautiful visually, but here's my article reflecting on a year of reading trans, two-spirit, nonbinary, & gender nonconforming-authored works! It includes descriptions of each book or story to help you find something you might enjoy beforewegoblog.com/a-year-of-re... #transbooks #booksky

I'm so excited for Control Resonant

I have been rather checked out from social media spaces this month and ooohhhgghhg there's only so much you know

If there's one thing I know about racist white people is that they expect all white people to be racist. So they literally cannot compute why a bunch of white folks would be in the streets when they're not the ones being kidnapped

DEVOURING FORTUNE is such a cool book y'all. It was so important to me to have a transmasc POV in this! And I'm really happy that I can show a transmasc main character in such a weird twisty narrative.

Starting line edits for Devouring Fortune today and I am perhaps too excited about doing line edits but the truth is I'm extremely happy to see this book getting the polish it deserves.

Just got line edits back for DEVOURING FORTUNE and holy shit y'all this book is going to be a fuckin incredible beast after this editing pass.

For the @strangehorizons.bsky.social 2026 Criticism Special, I wrote about weird fiction being constituted by weird reading, vis a vis Sederholm and Woofter’s The Weird and @undertow.bsky.social’s The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 1., in tribute to Maureen Kincaid Speller. It’s a long one.

I might have an indie bookstore pre-order campaign brewing. And this might be one of the pre-order bonuses I revealed on IG yesterday to celebrate reaching 800 followers there. HELLBOUND is coming. #booksky

🧪📈🐉🪄🗡 ...look sometimes you just want to give late stage capitalism a face and have an ancient and powerful woman eat its entrails while it's still alive

We are now at Chapter 14 of TWWF! For those of you new, this is a queer dark fantasy novel releasing through my newsletter. It follows the seer Maxwell as he navigates a decaying magical land with the mysterious entity possessing him. Read (or listen) now - www.oleandercraw.com/the-wards-wi...

Aging indie/punk people, romance people &zine people, activists ofc too, all kinds of creative & resourceful people, we're talking & having ideas & doing the thing. "Who's paying for this" wingnuts scream. LOL babe that's cute. we're used to doing something cool for no money, powered partly by spite

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

IT'S FUCKIN SNOWBDY

Listen I do not care if this is the author's barely disguised fetish, if they're good at their damn job it will be MY barely disguised fetish while the story lasts and perhaps afterwards

I keep seeing people say “yeah but ppl who make weird stuff get passed over/gate kept/shut out/isolated” in response to “make weird art” and that’s true! But the whole point is: make it anyway. Build an honest community with like minded people. Be brave. Be you. Make something that matters.

I've got a new science fantasy book coming out for early release through a Kickstarter campaign in June 2026! A transmasc fortune weaver and an ambitious cave priestess make dubious bargains with a fortune beast. Follow the prelaunch page so you don't miss it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ole...

[Literature waiting room] Me: [chanting] weird, weird- Other readers: weird, WEIRD Author: [pounding her typewriter] WEIRD , WEIRD, WEIRD!

Take that idea you have and wring it out, dissect it, bury it to ferment for a month before digging it up again and see how it's evolved. How far can you take something? What depth of yourself are you willing to delve? You have something profound to write, so write it.

This is your ongoing reminder to get weirder with your writing. Yes, I'm going to keep saying it. Weird is where cool lives and rule of cool makes stories alive.

I painted this illustration for author Lindsey Hart 's upcoming book " The Thorns We Inherit" and let me tell you, I enjoyed my time on this painting 🥺

I wrote a SF trans body horror story about this concept. Being forced to dedicate oneself to becoming a living spaceship incubator for generational travel through space and the dehumanization of people with uteruses into empty vessels.

If you don't know Minneapolis, north is a very vulnerable neighborhood in our city, and it hasn't been seeing the same influx of resources as south Minneapolis has. We're raising funds to help vulnerable northside families cover rent & bills. If you can, please SHARE THIS this or venmo @nipinet.

Another #SFINCS review from me! Selkie Moon by Kelly Jarvis is a quiet little emotional gem about mothers, daughters, and selkies. 🦭 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indiebooks www.angelaboord.com/post/sfincs3...

love, warmth, and solidarity to everyone striking in Minnesota

Thanks to some rescheduling, I have two slots I'm looking to fill for editing: one in March and one in May! Come work with me to level up your manuscript, stay for the unwavering cheerleading, unhinged reactions, and all caps screaming. 😌 thoughtsstainededitorial.com #WriteSky #BookSky 🌈📚💙📚

And you can't assign a number to "weird and interesting." You have to take risks. You have to be OK with failure. Otherwise you're publishing 10,000 titles that are vaguely similar and that's not going to work out for you long term. It's boring.

I've said this a couple times in interviews lately but it's annoying that the lesson publishing will take away from this isn't "invest in more specific, niche, and/or weird books that cater to an under-served readership." It'll be "MORE SPORTS" bc that's a variable they can quantify.

Started working more on my cosmic horror/fantasy dragonrider book and I love the shape of this one so much

Just going to keep sitting in my corner writing my weird little stories

I think you need to give your characters bad tattoos

Big five publishers, I’d be happy to be the EiC of a weird fiction imprint for you. I can even write a press release about it that people will understand! The works themselves, though, no one will understand. We’ll lose so much money putting so many cult classics out into the world. Think about it!

All of my books are now officially out of Kindle Unlimited. To celebrate, BUY MY BOOKS PLEASE I NEED MONEY uh I mean I'll be bringing them all to Itch.io soon and will also be looking into Kobo!

two new collages from last night, all the text from one ad for a department store from a copy of gourmet magazine from april 1989 (images from the same magazine)

Maybe it's just cope, but my longstanding conviction is that what fascists experience as "love" would not be recognizable as such to real humans

“The report calls for a series of actions including … better water monitoring using AI” lmao of course it does
