Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

We have until May 22 to submit public comment! Note glaad’s advice in the article about maintaining your privacy. I used my initials and the address of a county govt building.

KILL YOUR DARLING, my sophomore novel, will be hitting shelves in January!! It’s a fantasy MM romance about the avatars of good and evil locked in a cycle where one has to kill the other every generation💜🗡️ (also its got a cool ambigram on the cover)

(I posted this on Tumblr last year but I wanted to share it here too for... reasons...) Audio dramas to listen to if you like #GoodOmens! 🧵

Was just reminded of the Bigolas Dickolas incident and I still can't believe that this whole thing happened because of my two favorite queer horror podcasts (Hello From The Hallowoods and The Silt Verses)

Reading and watching Witch Hat Atelier feels like a great way to rebuke gen-AI and I’m fully here for it! The concept of drawing by hand to create magic is so relevant and important right now.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Just finished reading my early copy of @smhallow.bsky.social's 💀HALLS OF THE DEAD💀 and must inform everyone: If GIDEON THE NINTH had a baby with KUSHIEL'S DART that was then raised by Showtime's PENNY DREADFUL, this is the book you'd get. And I mean that as an *immense* compliment!

Want to grab some amazing 🏳️‍⚧️TRANS COMICS & BOOKS🏳️‍⚧️ for the Trans Rights Readathon? Our bundle for the #transrightsreadathon is out today, now on itchio!!!💖🏳️‍⚧️ 💕GET YOUR BOOKS HERE: itch.io/b/3611/trans...

Readers! What is the last book you loved by a trans author? And what is something you loved about it?

given how fucking expensive it is to engage with most scripted fictional media it is right now: here is a reminder that there are unbelievably gorgeous fiction PODCASTS out there. they are FREE. you can engage in them while CLEANING or PLAYING VIDEO GAME. for FREE

Support these books instead of the TERF wizard series!

Drop 3 recs for the #TransRightsReadathon! 🏳️‍⚧️ 1) A Lady For All Seasons by TJ Alexander 2) Make Room For Love by Darcy Liao 3) Ice Apprentices by Jacob North

so if you're looking for a book about magic and adventure and brave young people for your kid or your students or your library patrons, here's one to start: www.kylelukoff.com/my-books/awo...

+ a lot of the books being suggested (again, in terms of books for actual children to read) are by authors who are currently under constant attack by the aggressive book banning that's been ramping up over the last few years. And those authors will likely not receive a sliver of support HP gets.

So, a reason I keep sharing alterna-reads to HP is bc I'm not talking to superfan adults, I'm talking to parents/teachers/librarians who are making book purchasing choices for kids -- I really think it's a needed step in killing the cyclical support this series gets

Some fabulous books here!

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

Wanted to share some diverse middle grade fantasy books for absolutely no reason at all... 🪄

I love this book dearly and you should get it while you still can! It’s seriously one of the best books I read last year!

This was one of my absolute favorite books I read last year, and I read a LOT of good books last year. I’m hoping it’ll quickly find a new home because it really is incredible, but in the meantime, y’all should grab it while it’s still available. 🌈📚 books2read.com/u/mqkYrQ

I love this book so deeply and sincerely & I know it will find the home it deserves soon In the meantime, I would encourage my friends to consider getting a copy before it becomes unavailable

If you haven’t read How to Survive This Fairytale and you want to—or, if you’re one of the readers who loves this book—you should still be able to purchase it wherever books are sold through March 31. I might recommend making any purchases sooner rather than later.

On March 31, Hedone Books will be closing. After March 31, How to Survive This Fairytale will not be available for purchase. Thread. 🧵

I just found out that Hedone Books (the publisher for HTSTF) is shutting down. According to the author's Instagram story, the book is still available for purchase through March 31, so if you want to read it (or if you've already read it and want some extra copies), now is the time to buy it!

🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for the August Cozy Horror photo challenge! Today we’re featuring book 2: How to Survive This Fairytale by S.M. Hallow @smhallow.bsky.social 🧵

💚 Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! 💚 I read "Until the Last Petal Falls" by Viano Oniomoh a few days ago and I loved it! I really needed a queerplatonic love story like this in my life 💖 It was such a beautifully retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Highly recommend!
