Last day of Pride! If you like stories about coming out, finding your community, and falling in love, “Until You Say My Name” has it all and more. This book is for anyone who has had to rebuild themselves from the ground up. A dedication to what we’ve survived and what we can find on the other side.

some of the books i recently added to my library at home

republicans don’t want to pay for the fucking POST OFFICE but will just light all this money on fire

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Ashamed to admit I’ve never gotten around to reading “frankenstein” (wasn’t assigned reading in school and its been on my reading list for years) but that trailer has inspired me to finally get started. better late than never!

as a writer i have such a visceral reaction every time I rewatch “Paterson” and THAT scene happens. I feel it in every nerve 😭😭😭

Today marks one year since my first book hit the market 🥳💝 It’s a year that has taught me a lot about myself, about writing, about putting myself out there, about getting to know my own voice. I have many more stories I hope to share with you all someday, but the journey has only just started ❤️❤️❤️

when you ask me to pause my music , this is what you are asking me to pause

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

I got to see #RevengeoftheSith this weekend in theaters, and it was a very emotional reminder of how much the Star Wars prequels shaped my little kid’s writer brain ❤️ they were the kind of movies I watched and would tell myself “I want to make stories like that one day.”

ノーランさんに服を選んであげよう

watching lady Gaga’s Coachella performance is a spiritual experience , my version of going to church

if they made a stardew valley movie i too would scream and cheer when the main character stumbles on a pair of purple underpants so …. i get it

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

feeling like burning my oc playlists onto blank cds like in the days of my youth

😭😭😭 bro

Happy one-year anniversary of the day that right-wing media decided that the number one most important news story in the country was that Trans Day of Visibility happened to overlap with Easter

Happy #transdayofvisibility to my fellow trans people on this lovely day🩷🤍🩵 Also I published a super cute romance between a trans guy and trans girl so you should probably check that out #transdayofvisibility🏳️‍⚧️ #tdov #tdov2025 #lgbtauthors #transauthors #transwriter #lgbtbooks #lgbtfiction

one of the hardest things as a writer is when i try to explain my plot, characters, themes, etc out loud before anyone has read the story. like…i swear it makes way more sense written down. that’s WHY i wrote it 😭

‘I had to use AI for this because I couldn’t do it otherwise’ Then you couldn’t do it? Big whoop. I can’t do surgery or build a house or draw anything better than a stickman. So I would ASK SOMEONE WHO CAN AND THEN PAY THEM. OR LEARN HOW?! Stop short cutting life, you dork. It’s embarrassing 😬

just gonna casually reup my various posts about THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS bc. marketing! or something anyway the book is out TODAY WHAT www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

People who think using em dashes is proof of AI writing have clearly never written anything longer than a paragraph in their life 😭 Keep the beloved em dashes out of your accusations! Real writers who hate AI definitely know how to use em dashes. Leave us alone 🙈

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

I’ve listened to #Mayhem twice a day almost every day since Friday and each time a different song has really stood out and hit me hard This morning it was The Beast

FFS too expensive. I'm just gonna try to become such a sex symbol that cis women get surgery to look like me

calling art “content” feels so soul sucking to me likeeeee 😑

Just wanted to say a sappy, deeply genuine thank you to the indie book community. You guys are so utterly supportive and generous and kind. Love you all 💙💙💙

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
