I am but a queer book cover designer Sitting in front of the internet Begging the sapphic authors to find me so that I can be the designer of one of these adorable book covers.

I was asked last week how I offer payment plans. I use Honeybook! It’s still a fairly new system to me. I’ve only been using their platform for about a year, but I like it. I was given a referral link. Freelancers who sign up get a discount. I get a bonus. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I thought I’d share.

Hire me as your book cover designer for more cute kitten pics 📚🖌️

My friend Garrett & I organized a bookish auction that benefits the LGBTQ charity Queer Liberation Network where we both serve on the board. There are so many great items so please check it out & buy yourself sumn nice for a good cause: www.32auctions.com/LitforQueerL... (& please boost!)

We’ve been tent camping while we set up our off grid home. Up walks this guy last night. The least the cat distribution system could do is send me child support. So, if anyone is looking for a book cover designer, formatter, or interior book design, I now have another unexpected mouth to feed 😹

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

I am looking for one more author in need of a book cover to fill my calendar 📚 -I’m queer -I’m disabled -I do payment plans -I don’t use AI -I do my best to be affordable

Once again, I am a book cover designer in search of authors who are looking for: -payment plans -designs that fit a budget -AI free art/designs -no charges for changes -a disabled queer to support this pride

Just a book cover designer in search of authors who are looking for: -payment plans -designs that fit a budget -AI free art/designs -no charges for changes -a queer to support this pride

This man I swear

Hi! I am a cover designer who recently found out I’m being laid off from my day job in June. I’m looking to connect with authors needing a book cover who would like to book in June, July, or August.

Electrolyte water in my tumbler. Protein shake in my coffee. Compression socks on my feet. Say it with me. POTS will not prevent me from getting my things done today.

I just realized this never made it here 🫠

I just found out I might not have a day job after June, and I am in a paniqueeee

No, no. You don’t understand. I don’t enjoy being right. In fact, I hate being right about half the time. I would love to be wrong, but I can’t. I must be correct. I can’t settle for blissful ignorance. And that’s how I know hell isn’t real. Because if it is, I’m already there.

On todays episode of silly things my autism will have a full meltdown about: My phone forced an update, and now everything looks weird. It does not look like my phone. I want to throw it.

Gagging is the appropriate response to having to type out and refer to your partner by their deadname, right?

It’s the first day of Black History Month. This is a reminder that we didn’t ask permission to honor culture and heritage. So, we don’t need recognition to keep doing so. I personally will be sharing with people the historical Black figures who made our world what it is today.

During tomorrow’s NO BUY day, I’ll be spending my time at my local library.

Idk who needs to hear this, but it is starting a community garden season

How many aura points did I lose for getting a reminder for my wedding date the same day that Idaho tries to take my right to marry away?

Me: I’m not gonna let the world make me cruel. I think every person deserves human decency and basic rights. The internet: so you support *inserts terrible thing here*???

Anybody else just feeling super emotionally disregulated?

As an agent and author who’s worked in queer publishing for over a decade, I’m gonna say this about the landscape to come, for anybody willing to listen: we HAVE to have each other.

Help. I keep trying to open the app. I just wanna check on my diy people before bed 😭

By Queer books! Buy BIPOC Books! Buy the books they will probably rule are bannable soon. dassall

Othering propaganda (or divide & rule) brilliantly + succinctly expressed via #comics. #DaveCoverly 💙📚 #TerryPratchett's #Discworld vibes

Forming a polycule so that the hibachi table is just our household. And if we have kids, a family bus, and group discounts to theme parks.

I have no clue what to do with myself rn.

Oh. Okay. The guy who started this? Those of us with pattern recognition and a basic understanding of history are outraged rn.

Why can I not work /in/ an office, you ask? Because it’s not acceptable by corporate standards to be so overstimulated by my clothes that I have to wear a blanket with a small personal heater on my desk like it is in the comfort of my own home.

Me: okay I’m going to finish this last task for work and then get some bookish things done Body: migraine

Listen, I know I can’t personally rescue every animal I see, but I keep hearing a kitty crying outside my apartment building. Like the calling for other kitties cry. And I finally caught a glimpse. It’s just a baby 😭 like 6m or something

I deleted the shmeta apps from my phone this week for a detox. And it has been so nice. I’ve been so productive.

How do I explain that everything feels so dystopian that I’m struggling to function, and my sense of time is warped beyond repair without looking… uncaring?

The problem isn’t that I didn’t do it right the first time. The problem is that I THOUGHT I did it right the first time and then someone went and changed something.

This week on audio processing issues Me: I’ve always wanted wisteria at my wedding My fiance: 👀 …listeria?? Excuse me? 💀

You don’t get to tell people “that’s the debt you signed up for at 17,18,19, you deserve to pay all that interest” And then turn around and say “these kids don’t know what they want with their own bodies. We can’t possibly allow them to permanently alter them!” 🥴

In case anyone didn’t believe me. They charge a $32.62 “convenience fee” to pay rent through an app (this is the ONLY way to pay rent). And our rent on the lease is $980. The other $200+ is mostly sewage for some reason.

Caught my first dumpster truck in the wild. Why do these look so wrong? It’s giving that video where the guy puts all the shapes in the square hole

I’m wondering where other creatives lose the most time outside of actually creating. Because for me it’s ✨research✨

Not to brag but my fiance did all the laundry today, and is currently vacuuming the entire apartment. 🥵

@crybabysatan.bsky.social : love to watch you bend over, hate to hear your knees crack #thisisthirty

If sharing a bed with my fiance the last couple of years has made me certain of anything, it’s that our children are going to be sleep walkers.

Santa came for the fur children. Which is surprising because I have an orange and a wolf hybrid 😂

I encountered someone on the yarn app who said Islamophobia was a good thing, and I’m very much considering a deactivate.

The best part about being an editor is getting to read the most amazing books 😭
