A little about me:
📚 I love to read books (clearly).
💫 SFF and Romance are my favorite genres.
💸 I am participating in a low-buy quarter. Although this may continue past March, we'll see!
☕ Coffee is my drink of choice.
🐱 I have a tabby cat named Looney who sings arias at 3AM.

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care.
The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

If there’s one thing I hope everyone is learning with all the dismantling of DEI initiatives is that no corporation is going to save us. We are the only ones that can save ourselves through community.

I think we need to reframe the doom vs. optimism conversation to an action vs. inaction one.
We obviously can’t ignore the issues, but if our messaging discourages action, then we’re not doing a very good job.

Always, always support indie bookstores!!
All right y’all, so here’s the deal.
We’re struggling. Our monthly goal is to sell 1500 books. This month, we’ve sold less than 400.
We need your help. We HAVE to sell 1500 books by the end of Feb to keep our doors open. This was supposed to be a video, but Bluesky can't do 2 mins of video(Thread)

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

Happy book birthday to Hammajang Luck, the sci-fi debut from @makana-yama.bsky.social!
An all-queer found family plan to steal billionaire tech on a cyberpunk space station. Both an entertaining and cathartic read for these times.
Thank you @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social for granting me the eARC!
