Albany, @goldencrownls.bsky.social , and @gcls-wa.bsky.social ,
Thank you for a week full of so many memories I will hold for decades. It’s humbling to know how many of you are working to keep our stories in print, on record, and that many more are performing ‘good trouble.’

Did you hear?! Thanks to the hard work of @kd_rye, Albany is hosting a Drag Night on Thursday during Con.
Donors have chipped in to pay the performers (but still bring tips), so the event is open and available to all.
See you there!!
(11 Days until #gcls2025)

Yes, I did read SoHo Loft Book 2 (then 3) before reading Brooklyn’s story. I grabbed them out of order. Not mad about it. Still reread them this way, too.
