🔁 INTRODUCTION THREAD 🔁

⏯️ Name: Jeb. (J. D. Bath)
⏯️ Pronouns: my name
⏯️ Location: 🇦🇺

⏸️ #author #writing the very long Time Paradox series. One half is about a bunch of queer kids dealing with life in the early 2010s. The other is a queer Sci fi set in 2141 Melbourne.

It's all connected, I promise!
This is Rina, the wonderful trans sister of Julian. Mother figure to the baby queers, and a safe space for Pete when they become homeless.

But when it comes to her brother she is relentless. She won't let his bratty nature cause damage, sometimes she is far too hard on him

My editor and I happened to email each other on the same day, me to check in and he to say he had one chapter left on book one, and now I eagerly await his notes

#TBRuary 11:

Today's pick is When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley! The protagonist of this book is an orphaned Puerto Rican blacksmith trying to make a life for himself in 1910s NYC when he meets a merman. It's been highly recommended, and the author/illustrator is really cool!

My Great Grandmother had a few names she went by.

My Czech family just invented a new last name when they went to England. I dunno what it actually is, but I can tell you what it isn't.

I've been Jeb since I was 15, before gender even was a thing - I'm almost 40 now so thats more than half my life
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

Hey Bluesky, it would be REALLY nice if you aligned the emoji across both mobile and desktop! I hate having to use my phone every time I want to use the hug emote, only for it to show up as a black box on desktop 🤦‍♀️ (And we absolutely NEED that hug emote!! 🫂🫂🫂)

I'm enjoying The Midnight Library but it's forcing me to face some of the shit that happened last year.

I too wanted to die and thought it was not worth me existing. I thought I only harmed others.

It's really hitting home just how much a single person can poison you.

Damn.

Australia already went through this, so I guess be outraged on our behalf.

We're only a small country by population in comparison, and the government made the choice for facial scans on our behalf to "protect the children" - there was no option to protest.

I hope we find alternatives

Key comments from Naarm/Melbourne;

The people, united, will never be defeated.
We stand for justice, equality and life.
Protest isn't divisive; genocide is.
Albo you can't hide, you're complicit in Genocide.
Say 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' louder, so Crisafulli can hear you.

The Carrington Family goes on the THREE OF CONTRACTS.

The casual domestic violence they all experienced until Blake & Gabriella's father died and Mariah's eventual failed suicide cements.this moment as one of the saddest.

Dear sweet Kat.

Not only does she lose ties to her family, and discover her ace-ness, but she has to reconcile her friendship with the members of Shadows of Decay, and her place in Black Mist

Should she let her younger brother back into her life? Should she leave the band?
