I guess I need to start using this account—since I have a bunch of exciting author stuff happening this year.

So hi! I’m Felix Graves, #author of #queer dark speculative fiction that makes your chest hurt. I’ve got several short stories, a pirate novel, and a horror anthology coming out this year!

Just saw someone say "Dr Pepper fans are the soda equivalent of people whose favourite colour is purple"

So now I have to ask:

Are you a Dr Pepper fan?

And if so, is your favourite colour purple?

(For the record, my answers are YES and YES)

It’s release day for Choices: An anthology of Reproductive Horror, curated and edited by the wonderfully talented Dianna Gunn!

I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Dianna’s enthusiasm and passion for this project for YEARS and I’m so proud to see it finally birthed (so to speak).

Congratulations!!
IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

And be sure to grab the book! books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q

Well, the Talk Like a [Queer] Pirate Day Bundle ended this morning (for me at least). Four sales in total.

I hope it happens again next year. If I can get "Escape From Crab Island" in a state to publish, I'd love to include it.

Special thanks to @authfelixgraves.bsky.social for organising it.

Time is running out to grab these bundles & support a whole bunch of disabled authors in one go - while also getting a great deal on a whole bunch of books

We've set our revenue split to 0% in protest of Itch's mishandling of the censorship situation, so all profits go directly to disabled authors
We're disabled and queer. 🏳️🌈 We sell our writing to eat.

We launched two book sales — each has 20 books for $30. Itch bowed to conservative pressure, and hid them without warning.

Do you agree this is bullshit? Then help us make them pay.

TWO DAYS LEFT to buy the Disability Pride Month bundles and support disabled creatives, several of whom have been shadow banned by #ItchIo for containing queer content

We've set our revenue split so ALL money goes to disabled creatives, NOT Itch, in protest of these censorship decisions

If this latest push for censorship feels different, it's because it is

The puritanical right is stronger than ever

Which means we need to be even stronger to fight them & win
Puritanical right wing assholes have been coming for sex workers' and pornographers' right to exist & do business online for almost as long as the internet has existed

But this wave IS different

It's not an exaggeration to say this could kill Wylder soon

If you have *anything* to spare, please send it

If you send me proof of a $40+ donation, I will write you a custom murder scene - where either you die in an outrageous way, or you kill a (fictional) billionaire
Still aiming for this today.

Woke up and my abscess had spread up my nose and is now also chilling on my eyebrow.

Please help before it kills me, its so close to my brain?

Just a reminder big time indie authors usually got a whole team behind them. So don't beat yourself up if you can't do everything. Do what you can, when you can.

The UK Supreme Court doesn't support #TransBooksBingo which is another reason why you should

They're trying to get rid of us, but we've always been here, and we've got the historical queers to prove it
