Hey girl! Quick question: When’s the last time you sharpened your knife?

The authors below were also unfairly affected by this week’s events & still deserve love on their books! Support if you can. After much consideration, we will not be creating a new bundle as we don’t feel it would be safe for us or the authors involved. Full post on IG, inc. stabby quotes ⚔️

This week, we were joined by Maddie Martinez to chat about her debut sapphic novel, The Maiden and Her Monster. We talked about the Golem of Prague legend that inspired the story, how Maddie created the fantasy languages, and so much more! Listen now: linktr.ee/swordsandsap...

I just finished and loved this book! It's so profoundly Jewish, not only bc of the mythology and traditions, but because it's a book about storytelling, perspective, and faith. Not just faith in the religious sense, but faith in other people and, through the main character, in ourselves.

Coming back to say it's DOUBLE weird how much some of yall want to ignore years and a patterned history of harassment and dogpiling because YOU don't like how some people label themselves. Get a fucking life.

On that note, here’s actually a newer report written by the creator of the Shinigami Eye extension after she got harassed by Bee and fans over her refusing to take down evidence of transphobia by Bee against trans men, from her now offline soupcan extension. bethylamine.github.io/library/inve...

Due to the unkindness of some of the participants in the Swords & Sapphics bundle, we have decided to unpublish the sale as they do not deserve to profit from our name. Please be sure to support the authors affected. Thank you for your love & support. We truly hate this. 🧡

The usual problem on the interwebs: someone with not much of a clue about terminology shouts some bullshit into the world and some equally misinformed plonkers jump on the bullshit train. 'Sapphic' does NOT mean 'lesbian'. Look shit up before you start bashing people because some arsehole said so.

mind you she has an entire section on her wikipedia page about her targeted attacks on marginalised folk. hope everyone supporting her is feeling particularly cool and superior for being part of her clique!

definitely the posts of a secure non-toxic adult who only wants the best for the queer community 🧡 maybe you, benjanun, should be more careful, since you’ve been cancelled…. what? five, six, ten times already?

So, yesterday, A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience was recommended in the New York Times, and I am NOWHERE near calm about that yet...! ❤️🦇 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/b...

Looking for a book with stabby sapphics? I've got a bundle of 19 books that features just that ^_^ 🌈📚💙📚 Find it here: itch.io/b/3296/the-u...

A little snippet from MY LORD 😌 I love these two 💜 ~grab MY LORD via the bundle below or direct via mylord.shimaira.com 🌈📚💙🌈💜

RELEASE DAY! Demisexuality is a complex little understood sexuality, often confused with idealised social expectations. This short collection of poems and essays is my story. 🌈📚💙📚👀📢📚💙📚🪐♠️🌈📚 mybook.to/beingdemi books2read.com/beingdemi ko-fi.com/s/5458cdcfdf onechaoticauthor.itch.io/being-demi

shouting loudly about how terrible we are under misinformation relayed from bullies doesn’t change the meaning of the word sapphic, nor does it change the fact that every book in this bundle is sapphic. 💓

I'm kicking off the spooky season with a bargain from my favourite sapphic ladies, Kitten & Blonde, now $0.99 for a limited time. Kitten & Blonde. Mostly paranormal. Sometimes alien. Always gentle. #Sapphic #lesfic #eulegrey #booksales #ButchFemme

I'm so happy "Fimbulvinter's Fires" releases tomorrow. I hope it ignites a fire in everyone. 🪓😌❤️‍🔥 #BookSky 📚💙 #QueerSciFi #SurvivalHorror

If you like #books with stabby queer characters, @swords-andsapphics.bsky.social is hosting the ultimate book bundle, featuring 19 SFF & horror books for just $22! Every story includes powerful #sapphic characters facing epic battles and/or wielding sharp melee weapons! 🌈📚🪐📚💙📚📢 #SapphicBooks #WLW

Our final statement on the discourse. Read it or don’t read it, but we deserved to say our piece without random accusations being thrown at us. www.instagram.com/p/DPOorHliBj...

final post about this & then we’re done giving these people the time of day: I need you to know we are NOT labeling man/woman relationships as sapphic. that’s not happening. it never was. somebody else made that up. some of the stories do feature m/w ALONGSIDE sapphic (wlw or w/nb) relationships.

If you seriously throw a fit because a sapphic book has also men - or 🍆 - in it: get out of here. Now. If bisexuals, pans, enbies, gender benders, transsexuals et al aren't "queer enough" for you then get the fuck out of my sight. You're a bloody disgrace to the LGBTQIA+ community. It's 2025, ffs

Since there seems to be some confusion on the topic i made this handy diagram when asking "is this sapphic"

If you have already purchased Stars and Soil (either has part of another bundle or on its own!) and get it again via this bundle (or other bundles!), you have my full and enthusiastic permission to gift an e-copy of the book to a friend you think would enjoy it.

My book is in this bundle! Check out all the blade wielding sapphics ^_^
