When his gf dumps him for not being queer-enough, transguy Collin makes a bet he can land a date with the hot new (assumed-straight) barista across the street—only to realize he might be falling for her for real.

Cover mock-up for "All That and a Bag of Chips" is displayed on both a book jacket and an iphone. The mockup shows two college-aged white kids, one male presenting, and one female presenting. Five arrows point from the mockups to descriptors of the story. The text reads: Twist on the 90's Romcom, Trans Protagonist, Bromance, College Life, and Hot Barista. The background is organge. Around the border are doodles of a trans flag, a smoothie blender, a college building, and a coffee cup.

Jim never expected to see Rebecca again—especially not at a hotel bar, 20 years after HS.

But his former bully doesn't recognize him now... not as the man he's become. 🏳️‍⚧️

What happens next is a mistake. He should tell her who he is. He should walk away.

Instead, he leans in.

Mood board with 6 images. Top row: A trans flag, a photo of an adult couple kissing in a dark hotel room, a photograph of a cheerleader (vintage filter). Bottom row: A woman drinking wine alone at a bar, a photo of two people clinking together whiskey tumblers, a sad looking teenage boy in a high school hallway (vintage filter). Beneath the images the tagline reads: "A steamy novella exploring consent and disclosure."

White text on an orange background: An homage to the 90's romcom with a trans twist: Collin, a trans guy who was recently dumped by his girlfriend, makes a bet with his friend that he can nab a date with the hot new barista who works across the street. Bordering the text are drawings of a trans flag, a smoothie blender, a college building, and a coffee cup. A white text box on top of an orange background. The text is a quote from Alice_writes106. It reads: "Wow! I absolutely loved this book!! It was so sweet--with the perfect balance between thoughtful insight, character development, setting, emotion, and plot!! The characters were dimensional and had amazing personalities and I was really transported. I also feel that I can kind of understand trans perspectives a little better and I'm glad you're calling light to these things. Absolutely wonderful read, thank you so much for this creation!! (purple heart emoji)"

An AFAB teenager living in 12th-century Germany is abandoned in the Holy Land while “disguised” as a boy named Joseph. He embraces his male identity in order to survive, and finally feels confident in his own skin.

The Transgender Phenomenon: A crazy fad afflicting young people… since 1946 🤦‍♂️

Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology by Michael Dillon (1946): “Some people are inclined to think that because a science is new, the objects of that science are also new, 'New-fangled diseases' and 'ailments you hever heard of in my young days' being phrases not so uncommonly used."

Update: Still not done. Still not a #labubu. But I’ve decided that it’s not half-bad considering I made it without a pattern and only using scraps and art supplies I found around the house.

7yo asks for a #labubu

I don’t know what that is.

She shows me an ugly keychain for $65

The answer is no.

Definitive no.

An hour of crying later, I agree to #DIY something, despite lack of knowledge and skill.

WTF did I make? 🤣

(Not done yet, but... 😬)

My failed attempt to make a labubu knock-off doll. Picture is just of the head. Creepy face, faux fur, weird bunny ears. On a cream background.

I spend too much time overthinking my data on QueryTracker. Like, I understand a quick rejection, but stuff like this leaves me biting my nails, holding my breath, and refreshing my email every 10 seconds.

A list of queries. All but one have a red line and red frowning faces next to them, which indicate a rejection. In the middle is one query highlighted with a yellow line and with no decision made.
