I know social media is very America-centric in general, but I still *really* wish folks would be clearer when they’re talking about something that only applies to America.
It’s not fun to see a concerning skeet on my timeline, only to discover it only applies to the USA. 😒

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Once again, no one chooses to become disabled.
It’s not a moral failing or something a person can “try harder” and avoid.
You are not owed our medical history or an explanation.
You are not the arbiter of who’s disabled “enough”.

"Man becomes first ever trillionaire" is a headline that should only inspire anger. No joy, no ambivalence, no apathy, just pure seething rage.

For Trans Awareness Month, I invite you to be aware of trans authors
That's more than just clever wordplay! There are so many amazing trans authors who are unknown outside their small corners of the community. Readers are missing out on some of the best work on the virtual stands today!

On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
