I would honestly love for reporters to actually push back on Julie Soto when she says that fanfic is an act of resistance, because what is her nazi sex slave fanfic resisting? Also extremely disappointed that you didn't mention JKR funding the court case that ruled transwomen aren't women

I just want you all to know that last night my husband and I had a very long and serious conversation about what book organization system to use for his Minecraft world and WHY the Dewey Decimal system would not be the right choice

Pride month is coming up, so here is my reminder that I have an LGBTQIA+ masterlist of books with queer main characters! You can filter & search by multiple preferences, such as genre, target age group, representation, pairing, and additional tags beffynicolereads.wordpress.com/queer-fictio...

I just think it's funny that there's not one, not two, but three modern-day graphic novel retellings of Anne of Green Gables... and they're all queer. And this is not sarcastic, this is genuinely incredible to me.

I really need people in my town to learn how to use roundabouts. We have like 5 of them all in a row.

Are y’all aware that children are human beings? They are not tiny monsters that will one day become humans. They are human. From start to finish. And hating them is morally wrong. Full stop.

If the publishers are going to talk about it, why is everyone acting so hush hush?

This is excellent, I think!

Holy shit this is such a terrible answer from the @illumicrate.bsky.social Chief of Operations/Head of Communications. Honestly saying nothing would’ve been less insulting

I haven't made any rec posts recently, including for the Trans Rights Readathon and I feel so incredibly guilty but I am ✨drowning✨

Uh oh I'm back on my "Minecraft and disassociation" kick

Got official updates by the org. ALL their programs and services are temporarily suspended, which includes housing assistance, DV support services, project head start, emergency food pantry, child care assistance, and more. I'm sick to my stomach.

Friend of my family. She lives a county over & works for a nonprofit housing program that does a ton with Section 8 & other federal funding. I'm not 100% sure if they are firing everyone & 100% shutting down or just on a work freeze right now while they figure out the federal funding.

"You're so funny" Thanks I found out my dad cheated on my mom when she was pregnant with my older brother and the woman he cheated with was literally named "De[insert dad's name]" and I can't tell my siblings about it.

ebooks are officially available on bookshop.org 👀💙📚

Angry queer book recs. List in comments. Let me know if you have more to recommend! #booksky #queerbooksky

Whaaa. I cannot wait

An easy post with the Booksky genres broken down by feed and what their corresponding emojis are to! And remember you can combine the main and a genre by sandwiching the book between them. 💙📚🌶️ Hopefully if you're new here, these will help you find your people easier! 💙

Also, check other counties around you! Some state libraries, neighboring counties, and state capitals allow free non-resident cards! Check library websites or visit for more information! #booksky 📚💙

My upstairs neighbor has been learning to play piano & guitar, also learning to sing. We can hear her very clearly. It was a little rough when we first moved in, because, well, she was in middle school and her room is right above ours.

The vibes I bring to the function

BlueSky is messy because I end up on follow lists with people I've blocked

My husband is a teacher so he got off today too. Our goal? Not seeing each other until noon and then we are going to get some shit done around the house and then either watch a movie or play some games together.

Here are some Black horror books to add to your TBR. Which ones have you read already and which are you adding? Let me know and then click on #blackbooksky and follow some Black book content creators. #booksky

Theory bite! This is probably something that cis people would find useful, as much or more than trans people, because a lot of cis people participate in it in conversations about transness and trans folks ;3

I am not ashamed to say I took my float holiday today

Me talking to my non-binary friends now like

Also unrelated to anything else that is going on today, here are a few of my favorite dragon fantasies and the best part? All of these series featuring at least one queer POV 🐉🌈#booksky

If you want to get intersex books BY intersex authors while it's still allowed! I have ALL of them right here

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

If you love this list & would like to help me with keeping it up & running, consider donating to my Kofi or purchasing a book using the referral links on the list. It costs me $12.96 each month to run this! ko-fi.com/beffynicoler...

Hey! Being transphobic to bad people is still transphobic! Respecting pronouns /names is not hard! You can be mad but you shouldn’t be disrespectful!

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Conservatives will tell you that intersex people don't matter in respect to Trump's new executive order... because they're such a small portion of the population While they spend all their time focusing on trans women in sports which is an even smaller percentage

I hate it

The four words we will be saying on repeat for the next four years: WE. TOLD. YOU. SO!

Um thank you for 1k? 😭🩷 On the 19th I had like 180 followers this is incredible.

So now that the lower costs for prescription drugs for millions on Medicare have been repealed, how are the “price of eggs” people doing? How is the “$10 paperback” girl feeling? Those were rhetorical questions. I don’t actually care.

Here are 25 books that feature a trans main character that I LOVE that you should read by an array of amazing authors 📚 #books #transbooks

all the #BookTok slander I’ve been seeing the past few days by other bookish communities is quite frustrating ngl. While yes, the most popular side of BookTok definitely has its issues, the side I was on always recommended diverse books and championed marginalized authors. #diversebooks

Resharing this! Also, I’ve seen people’s requests and will add more when I have time, it’s oddly clunky adding people to these. I’m making this one just reviewers cos I got so many requests from authors that I need to make a separate author version. #booksky #diversebooksky go.bsky.app/Ax5LErr
