THE NEW LESBIAN PULP is out!! via Feminist Press
https://www.feministpress.org/books-overflow/the-new-lesbian-pulp
honestly this place sucks anyway. been tryna make it happen but it just doesn’t have the features (wowww we JUST got saved posts 🙄) and it doesn’t have the userbase and it’s been too long waiting for it to improve. they clearly don’t want to do better and would rather we leave them alone huh? byeeee
We knew from the start we can’t get everything right. Moderation is a hard problem, and it’s impossible to please everyone. So we built a protocol where you always have the right to leave. If you don’t trust us, or don’t like our decisions, you deserve the right to choose an alternative.

Particularly, the fact that Gretchen Falker-Martin's account remains suspended at the same time as her work is being pulled in what amounts to cowardly retaliation on behalf of fascists is incredibly, incredibly shameful and just makes @jay.bsky.team et al look like the collaborators they are

jude is my friend and is cool as fuck and deserves one million dollars
just found out my insurance isnt gonna cover part of my surgery, i think it should still be manageable but i could really use some extra help now!
sharing this one more time, i lowered my overall goal by a bit because of some recent changes with my insurance. im still going to be missing out on 3 weeks of work while i recover so any assistance would mean so so much to me <3

Like I’m pretty sure even when a creator gets outed as a sex beast publishers tend to quietly let the remaining issues of the series they’ve commissioned roll out before cutting ties. Trying to recall the last time I saw such a sharp and immediate severing, especially over a social media post.

love this coining of Mardollian. that'll be very useful
There are of course Mardollian bucket crabs who suck in air through their teeth and talk about how Gretchen is “problematic” or whatever so I’ll just put it like this: Who, exactly, benefits when transgressive trans voices are targeted and silenced?

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

every single racist, misogynist, transphobe, homophobe, and those who prize money and power over human life will die someday and there's nothing they can do to stop that. death is inescapable. they do, however, get to decide to grow a conscience or else be mocked and celebrated after death

Despicable conduct from DC and @safety.bsky.app . They should be ashamed
It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

I don't think that Gretchen Felker-Martin was advocating for violence but rather strongly expressing relief at knowing that Kirk could no longer be actively encouraging his bigoted fear and hatred. In that light, I hope that DC comics reconsiders their decision to cancel the Red Hood.

Some Fucking Nazi: *dies*

People Who Accepted the Genocide of Gaza and Police Brutality and Murders of Trans and Queer People as Unavoidable Parts of Society and Insisted For Decades You Simply Must Shrug Off For the Sake of Some Imaginary Sense of Harm Reduction: violence is never acceptable
