Sienna Tristen (they/them) - here bc Avi said so @siennatristen.bsky.social · 7d

Book people! Music people! There are less than TWO DAYS left to be part of the #Kickstarter for the orchestrated audiobook of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming!

If you've backed, THANK YOU!

If you're thinking about it, NOW IS YOUR MOMENT!

Check out the demo here: tinyurl.com/hgth-audio

A poster showcasing the Kickstarter for Sienna Tristen's audiobook of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming. The middle of the image is a photo of Sienna, a petite human with short blonde hair wearing chunky black-and-pink headphones and a patterned magenta scarf, a black long-sleeve shirt, and a pleated blue skirt. They are seated with a copy of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming on their lap. The book is open and their face bears the pensive expression of someone reading. Behind them is a detailed wallpaper, coloured in teal and dusky rose, bearing motifs of snakes, bees, moons and flowers. On the top and bottom of the image, and on top of a blue circle in the middle-left space, text appears in white font.

TEXT: Sienna Tristen - The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming Orchestrated Audiobook. 20+ hours of narration. 2+ hours of original music. Ambience and sound effects. One hundred percent human-made! Back the project on Kickstarter before November 28.

Just a reminder that if you're working on the HBO Harry Potter show, or the audiobook, or making/buying licensed Harry Potter products, or covering *any* of the previously noted without mentioning JK Rowling's virulent and non-stop transphobia, this is what you're supporting:

Patrick Ness @patricknessbooks.bsky.social · Aug 6

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.
