Enormous bloke at the dog wash this morning. I’m talking built like a brick shithouse kind of enormous. Tattoos everywhere including his face. Black fucking huge wolf-x-hound-of-death in its wash bay, barking its head off. Calling the undead from miles away.

I think I figured out how to create a feed for sapphic books.

bsky.app/profile/did:...

You can use a variety of keywords:
- sapphic book/novel/romance, etc.
- lesbian book/novel/romance, etc.
- WLW book/novel/romance, etc.

Full list in the image below!

Customizing You Feed
Welcome! My tips as a recent newbie: customize your feeds (you can pin/unpin them). I recommend the Mutuals, Sapphic books, and Queer bookworm feeds, at least at the beginning, so you can find our people more easily. Uncheck the replies box in settings to make your feed less chaotic.

10 Sept = World Suicide
Prevention Day. I'm doing a charity walk and I've already met my monetary goal so no need to donate. All I'm asking is that you check in on pol who have been quiet lately or ppl who are funny, witty but their posts haven't sounded right. Check on them, too.

KJ, one of my favourite writery humans, created worlds from words and uses them to share her own inside.

Read this... I urge you. See WHY suicide makes sense in that one person's world.

Then try and be the microphone of hope to drown out the below for those you love.

"copyright is rent seeking" is the weirdest take I've seen yet. It's up there with Amazon saying "writers have monopolies on their books"

Yes, yes we do. Since we're the only people who created that particular book and cloning doesn't exist yet

Hey it's #transbooks365 and I can tell you that there are some amazing books out there by trans authors and featuring trans characters.

Outside my own books, which I think are awesome, check out @iwaldrom.bsky.social and @charliejane.bsky.social and @vyriadurav.bsky.social and all their stories! 🏳️‍⚧️
