Visibility without protection is just putting trans people up for target practice imho

this was one of my favorite reads from last year, if you are in the mood for some spectacularly well written nautical horror go check it out because it's fantastic!
Hello #TransRightsReadathon would you possibly like to read a book created by the two stupid hands of a real life trans man

If so boy do I have an proposal for you

This #TransRightsReadathon I’m thinking about just how few trans people of color get any kind of opportunity to publish, or recognition at all once they do

There’s a lot going on right now…but I want to take time to thank @harvardbookstore.bsky.social for hosting an event for my FRANKLIN STOVE book and my wonderful colleague @agr.bsky.social for her expert comments and discussion leading into the Q&A—the book is in the wild!

*checks Bsky* Yup, things continue to be terrible. School lunch funding gutted, yup. Markets in free fall, you say? Sure. Oh, and are we threatening Canada yet again? Of course we are.

You ever wanna just find a nice hot rock to lay on and then, when you’re nice and toasty, crawl under and hide?

Hold the damn line on this, authors. I have dozens of books I can't turn into audio right now because I can't afford to pay a narrator, but I WILL NOT use AI to circumvent them.

We all stand together or we all get cooked.
ABSOLUTELY NOT FUCK THIS SHIT

ABSOLUTELY NEVER

That feeling when you fall in love with a new-to-you artist; make contact; discover a Human w/similar artistic urges & ethics; create a mutual admiration society; &—vital to an indie press!—the $ they request to do what they do is right in your wheelhouse...

...what was I saying? Oh yeah, FUCK A.I.

I’ve replaced scrolling social media with StoryGraph and obsessively checking if my library holds are ready for pickup.
