Look I KNOW I'm not meant to read the reviews but I am mortal and flawed. Some people have been writing really thoughtful, generous things, and it is so heartening.

Okay, talk about an instantly-grab-you premise 👀
Ebook now available for Pending: A Novel! Nell gets her hands on a highly anticipated literary romance novel only to discover that it eerily mimics her own past, which was a serial-killer driven thriller and definitely not a romance.

You want a whistle called "Chaos Bisexual" right?
Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT!
You can buy whistles from us now!
I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK!

For my underrated gem of the month, I'm still looking for books that have less than 100 reviews/ratings on goodreads and/or amazon.
It must be queer; it does not have to be romance. I prefer MM, MMM, or MMF.

There is so much shit going on right now - really, really horrible, heart-breaking, soul-destroying shit - that it is hard not to feel overwhelmed. Doom-posting about it would do nobody any favors, but talking about anything else feels like I'm trying to ignore it. There is no right answer, I know.

Turns out, the way to get me to buy your book is to say it has judgmental chickens in it 🐓 Looking forward to reading this later!
Can I do a tiny bit of advertising?
I have a short gay romance that's vaguely seasonal and only 99c. It has judgemental chickens that kept inserting themselves into my plot and a hot pink cover.
We are quite skint and I would really appreciate a boost 🥰 #Booksky 🌈📚

A thread with the phrase "The mere presence of one dildo at their feet was enough to trigger chemical weapons" cannot be skipped.
Hey #Resisters!
This is probably the most beautiful and hilarious protest story you’ll find.
Is there violence? Yes.
But this is protesting with “Tactical Frivolity”, which has become the key phrase for #ICE protests, inspired by #Portland
This story happened in #Minneapolis

All of this is excellent advice, but this part - on negative reviews - really stood out to me:
"Sometimes even a nasty asshole will put their finger on something that needs handling, and your duty to your art requires that you take that on board. But you don’t have to take the nastiness with it."

"Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up" is so vastly applicable, they should print it on banknotes and the backs of credit cards so we never forget it.
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
