::raising hand:: There are plenty of us who would love to spread the word about your art/book/thing you make, but will not do so for images without alt-text. Accessibility matters. (and if you don't know why, or how to start, here you go, to brief primers)

I LOVE THEM.

It's been a busy week so far, but still I have somehow finished two more books for #Novellavember!

If one more able bodied person attempts to tell me, a disabled artist, that genAI is an accessibility tool, I'm gonna start smashing their hands with hammers. You wanna speak about disability issues, fine, you get to become one of us.

good news for the people who are saying they'd never touch starbucks coffee anyway: you can go ahead and drop $5 in their strike fund sbworkersunited.org/strike-fund/

Posting again (to try to add Alt Text to the photos): My friends at Stamza Books in Beacon NY have set up a #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember display, partially curated by me. If you're in the Beacon area, stop in to Stanza, say hi, and tell them I sent you!

"Our transgender, intersex, and nonbinary beloveds offer a singular gift. They invite us to witness our broken world through the knowledge that, when we lead in truth and love, nothing is beyond transformation."

Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box. New from me for The Nation: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

First Christmas song of the season at the grocery store. And has to be some weird new Christmas song, too. PLEASE CEASE AND DESIST.

This is the campaign from that post about how Stripe could unilaterally decide to cancel a finished campaign. If you like books that you, as an adult, can read, support those books! Also consider checking out Duck Prints' website as a secondary way of supporting them and/or yelling at Stripe.

I am bookmarking this list of queer joy recs and it may become half of my December TBR.

Things are terrible so here is something that brings me joy. Doing SFF reading recommendations for TV characters is one of my favorite columns I do at Reactor. I love getting to combine my love of books, my love of TV, and my talent for tailored recommendations. Links in the thread. 1/

Uhhhhh, I am pretty sure there already wasn't a big scary black box on my estrogen patches?

Hello, I am very fucking chatty today, bye.

I keep wondering to myself why I was not emotionally prepared for the first snow of the season, when most years it snows on Halloween here, but the trees were not prepared either. The two giant catalpa trees in front of my house just dropped ALL their leaves in the opposite of a flop sweat.

Listen, I won awards in a statewide newspaper editing competition in high school (did you know that was a thing? now you do). So sometimes my brain has a fight with itself about style rules of numerals vs. words when using numbers in text vs. preserving character allowances.

I am so used to reading my weird little niche bullshit that when I place a library hold, I generally expect them to come in in whatever time it takes to transport books between different branches of the library.

I have DNFed two books in a row for poaching. I am sure your books are wonderful, but my heart is too tender for this shit right now.

We're celebrating International Games Weeks with queer games! SO MANY queer games! Visit our blog to see this list in text format and get links on where you can get these video games, ttrpgs, and one (1) card game: duckprintspress.com/2025/11/07/i...

I adore this anthology!

The first snow of the year has begun. Give me all your snowstorm novella recs, please.

To which I add this wonderful Bruce Sterling passage, which for many years I kept beside my keyboard.

The People Want to Read: on the massive budget cuts proposed for Chicago Public Library. What's at stake and what you can do, whether or not you live in Chicago. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Between editing and reorganizing bookshelves, I have finished two books for #Novellavember! These two are very different, but I was delighted by both!

There is a new bead and powwow supply store that has opened an hour away from me and I and my budget are in mortal peril.

The recommendation categories are ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL.

After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live! No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

This is giving me flashbacks to early 80s church potlucks, I want it so bad.

You might, uh, commemorate this event by ordering the Rosalind Franklin memorial anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories for your local library. www.atthisarts.com/product/rosa...

I have one bookcase that for whatever reason I have put off reorganizing for YEARS and for whatever reason I decided today was the day, so I have been alternating blocks of editing with blocks of cleaning/organizing.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

10/10 take. No notes.

Favorite movie line that only the real ones will know our of context: "Rise up in the cafeteria and stab them with your plastic forks."

Fodder if you wanna participate in #Novellavember ~

FYI great opportunity to pick up OKPsyche if you haven’t already !

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website. Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

Thanks to this skeet I checked my settings and discovered that at some point BlueSky turned off all my adult content? Now both issues are fixed.

For Trans Awareness Month, I invite you to be aware of trans authors That's more than just clever wordplay! There are so many amazing trans authors who are unknown outside their small corners of the community. Readers are missing out on some of the best work on the virtual stands today!

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

SO SO GOOD. Snap this up!

HELLO, I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THE SEEP AND BLACKFISH CITY. (positive)

When I said I wasn't actually beholden to my agonizingly curated #Novellavember TBR, this is what I meant: the 5th & 6th novellas I read this month were not in that TBR stack.
