Watching Battleship Potemkin to calm my nerves

Welp. Seems like it's a good day to highlight trans books. I'll do this off and on all day, no idea how long the thread will eventually be. And if you need any trans book recommendations, post in here and I'll point you toward people who might know if I don't since I mostly do romantasy.

Tired of pirates who are obsessed with booty? Jk jk Shiver Me’s pirates are definitely looking for more booty… impossible to stop them

Nominations have opened for the Ursula K. Le Guin prize! Anyone can nominate book-length speculative fiction that embodies "hope, equity, and freedom; non-violence and alternatives to conflict; and a holistic view of humanity’s place in the natural world." www.ursulakleguin.com/prize-nomina...

I sort of hate that making more books (trad, indie, whatever) is predicated on selling the books we currently have! I get it but!!! We need new to invest in new stuff too!

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

most shockingly of all, the alien craft was reportedly adorned with a sort of bumper sticker that said "Earth Hoes Cant Fuck"

The world is extra tough on trans people right now so… Why not support a trans-led project with a bunch of gorgeous trans art? 🩷 And also prove to the regime that we’ve always been here and aren’t going anywhere!!

I think I might need fantasy romance recs, especially queer ones. I probably already know on some level a bunch of good options, but it might help to get my memory refreshed + hear about new ones

Need to quench your thirst for a really sweet pirate romance? Want a slow intro to second world magic? Craving a hero with a lot on his mind? A heroine who regrets her life and is ready to start living again?? Get lost in Shiver Me! books2read.com/u/3LMzk0

Buy a trans book or three if you can. The author’s survival may depend on it.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Broke down how I made my PR boxes for Shiver Me on patreon for free in case you want ideas or how to! Three parts, second part out today! (And as I said, totally free) Patreon.com/byvermillion

god im getting so sick and fucking tired of these fucking ghouls trying to turn the internet into a sterile puritan hellhole WHILE theres a fucking pedophile rapist sitting in the oval office.

“Any mail that’s getting dropped into a blue box is not getting postmarked on the same day, and likely not on the day after either,” says the leader of a postal workers’ union. This could have tremendous implications for voting:

New #RomanceColumn! We’ve got a screamingly funny cursed knight plus evil sorcerer queer romance, a sweet small-town bad-boy romance with a beekeeper heroine (yay bees!), and a New York-set romcom romp with a Regency cosplayer hero and screenwriter heroine (gift link): #romancelandia #booksky 💙📚

i have no interest in separating porn from art we should all be arm in arm

evergreen

If you need a book where fate has a heavy hand, Shiver Me is available near you (and NO I WONT ELABORATE)

A TIMELESS MESSAGE. WASH YOUR DANG HANDS

2011 wuthering heights just has so so so much more feeling

'Incurious and intellectually incapable of grappling with what Catherine and Heathcliff mean to one another, the movie settles for 'They like smashing their crotches together.' So accurate.

5 authors by whom I’ve read at least 5 books: Jacqueline Carey Garth Nix Kit Rocha Tamora Pierce Lily Mayne

Me beaming because I made a cute email (you can get on the list at readvermillion.com)

Youuuu had better get on my author email list at readvermillion.com If you want cool stuff

authors and books are like an MLM . . . i need you to buy my books so i can buy some other author's books so they can buy another author's books and so on but it's like, an honorable ponzi scheme

Always, always, always back up your books!! ‼️‼️

Shiver Me at @vromansbookstore.bsky.social more likely than you think!!! LA+Pasadena go get your signed paperback 😝

I see a lot of people frustrated with lack of accommodation for low-medium needs autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression and I want to caution us all to keep in mind that high/severe needs people with mental illness/neurodivergence are neither your rivals, nor are they receiving higher quality care

Should I post more WIPs? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I think... yes??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Reading Rebecca rn… my mouth is just hanging open

i really need some writers to tone down the heterosexuality in their stories sometimes lol it's so distracting 😂

it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself

WHOS NEXT???!?!?!!

A reminder to definitely NOT read Shiver Me today! #booksky #books

ouuu thank you for the nomination!

happy new year. thinking abt this iconic spring festival gala moment when celine dion sang 茉莉花 & every boomer auntie was shaken to the roots of her perm if u know you know m.youtube.com/watch?v=jwBv...

True: many/most erotica titles have been excluded from Amazon's affiliate program, including non-queer titles. But also: Some queer romance titles *not* (visibly) categorized as erotica or erotic romance have been excluded. It's not ALL queer books! But it's some. Some numbers follow...

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

In March, I'm having foot surgery to manage arthritis pain. I'll be on disability leave for 3 months, which is going to take a chunk out of my income. I hate asking for help, but if you can I'd greatly appreciate it. Paypal: @ bookjockeyalex Venmo: @ AlexBrown73 AMZN: www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Tell your perfectionism I said to suck my dick. Go write in peace today. 💜

Whatcha reading?

This dude is having dental surgery in three days and that shit's expensive, so if you've been thinking about buying a murder, now is a REALLY GOOD TIME to do it

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I hate u guys why is the phantom of the opera stuck in my head (this is valentines day’s fault somehow)
