Never forget this: the GOP's hateful culture war is a goal that it pursues in and of itself, and that it would pursue with equal fervor even in the absence of broader economic equality Our oppression isn't less important just because we're not able-bodied, cishet, or white

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles. are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

Hey, queerly beloved! Did you enjoy the first installment of Shadows Over Ravenkirk? Are you eager for more? Shadows Over Ravenkirk 2: Civil Blood And Civil Hands is still some months away, but I have the first of hopefully many short stories to tide you over in the meantime!

Awards eligibility 2025! I released 1 novel, 1 novella and 3 short stories this year, if anyone is a voter anywhere More importantly, and this is the only award I'm semi-seriously campaigning for, Samantha The Tarantula is a strong contender for TFR's Best Character 2025, probably maybe

Speaking of The Thread, books make wonderful gifts for the holidays, as does buying or reviewing an indie author's books

Voting is still open, I think, probably!

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone! Let’s all light a bonfire and hope the sun gets the hint that it’s time to start putting in a proper day’s work again.

Since a lot* of folks have expressed interest - anyone is welcome to get a tattoo based on my work. All I ask is that you send me a picture suitable for sharing on the socials * Two. It was two

I hate that I'm asking for help again. But I have no insurance until I'm approved for Medicaid. And I need to raise funds to pay for my COVID pills. Anything you can spare will help this struggling trans author pay for her drugs. www.gofundme.com/f/help-autum...

The thing about the Zootopia abortion comic is that you can say literally anything happened in it and I'd believe you. That thing was banaynays

It's the holiday season, which as we all know is the perfect time for Gothic horror! Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1: The Last Will And Testament of Wilhelmina Bruttenholm, is available wherever books are sold! books2read.com/SOR1

I know this is something I circle back to a lot, but it honestly feels, to me, like half the attacks on our trans siblings roots back to "children aren't people." The doctor said "boy," so I get to be the parent of a boy child! Not a girl child! How dare my child want things I don't want?!

As seen in The @midnightpals.bsky.social! Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1 is available wherever books are sold! Victoria Williams travels to the gothest town in Maine in search of a mysterious inheritance Also there's an adorable spider and her name is Samantha books2read.com/SOR1

It's amazing how the tech industry's go-to is consistently "What if we make our service worse?"

"A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear wants you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead see all of us as one."

One of the most painful experiences of my life was knowing I was trans, but not being able to transition until adulthood. This shouldn't have to happen to anyone else again. We have the ability to spare people this pain, we know it's effective. Fuck anyone that would deny care that saves lives

It doesn't have to be like this, is the thing We don't have to be ruled by wealthy child rapists We don't have to let them divide us, to keep us weak and afraid, to argue over which group is small and weak enough to sacrifice this time We can just get rid of them and live our lives

So this is what that was about, btw

growing up every adult on the planet was telling us that even the hint of cleavage or a red solo cup would blacklist us from the labor force forever and now we have like every powerful white man taking pictures on pedophile island and not a whisper of consequences

i want to live in a world where the biggest concern my wife and i have as is if we took the chicken out to thaw for dinner that night i want the biggest concern of a trans kid to be if they forgot their homework in their locker i want trans elders to be the norm not outliers we're gonna get there

We have to resist the death cult targeting trans people, not for dumb “first they came for…” reasons, but because trans people deserve not to be targeted by the death cult

A frighteningly large proportion of straight people would rather have a dead child than a queer one, and that's who you're reaching out to when you pander for Republican votes

I’m so tired. I’m so tired of my government wanting it murder children. I’m so tired of the party I’m supposed to vote for not caring about children getting murdered.

What are your favourite NOVELLAS from 2025? I'm primarily looking for: - weird/experimental/literary SFF - SFF w queer characters/elements/communities - historical sapphic romance - works that explore disabled experiences/communities Bonus if on Kobo, double for Kobo+, but open to other platforms.

If we'd just stop fucking letting mass murderering pedophiles rule us, we could all just live comfortable lives where we can look forward to tomorrow because we know tomorrow brings better things. Goddamn it we could ALL THRIVE. Imagine the ART we'd get!

From the bottom of my heart, every one of those people can die and go to Hell

REMEMBER

Four days left! Current vote tally is 139, if we can hit 150 by Sunday then we'll be *way* ahead of track to beat last year's total.

Finished Shadows over Ravenkirk, by @itsviviactually.bsky.social. Awesome horror novella! I, of course, wish it were considerably longer, but I guess if you put enough novellas together you get one chonk, and I will *definitely* be checking out the rest...

It's not a distraction, they just hate trans people

"You'll never find a new game that doesn't use AI" When I first got a Playstation 2, my roommate was mad that I was using it to play the PS1 port of Final Fantasy VI I'll be fine

Some of y'all act like GenAI is a natural thing that we have to live with, like earthquakes and hurricanes, instead of a technology that requires a vast infrastructure which is expected to turn a profit eventually You stop paying for the infrastructure and it goes away Whither NFTs, my good bitch?

My fellow non-binaries to the front! You know the white stripe in the pride flag? That's for you! If you are non-binary you are part of the trans community period.
