They/them. An ace, agender, autistic fren-shaped person. Owned by three cats. And a Roomba with googly eyes. I'll post pictures eventually.

This is, once again, the thing I love most about the queer indie publishing cult. You have something new out? We're all shouting about it. Awards season? Show our friends' books some love!
The indie writers I admire the most are the ones with the strongest commitment to "we're all gonna make it". They're who I try to emulate in my own life

Picked up my next months supply of $14,000 medicine while I was at CARTI.
Medicare part D pays for it as well as all my other meds after meeting the deductible which goes up to $2,100 for next year.

Now, you've got your werewolf lesbian fix and you're asking what to read next. If only there was a gothic mystery that was both trans AND had a lovable spider in it. Well I have more amazing news....
As seen in The @midnightpals.bsky.social! Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1 is available wherever books are sold!

Victoria Williams travels to the gothest town in Maine in search of a mysterious inheritance

Also there's an adorable spider and her name is Samantha

CW: Abuse

I want to talk about some specific forms abuse can take for trans people. I'm focusing on partners, but a lot could also be applied to families/friendships/etc.

I'm also focusing mainly on relationships where the abusive partner is cis, but this isn't cis-exclusive behavior. (1/?)

“Fantasy books feel so empty lately.”

Not indie fantasy.

“Everyone’s just trying to rewrite ACOTAR.”

Not indie authors.

“No one’s writing anything new!”

Indie authors are.

Debunking myths about Mother Rosa Parks, an icon of the Civil Rights Movement and (as we knew her growing up) a great Detroiter. 💐
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Everywhere you go, irl or online, you’re under constant financial assault.

Everything’s an ad, a scam, or both.

You can hardly breathe anymore without someone trying to slip their fingers into your nearly empty wallet.

The way the quotes and replies show a microcosm of exactly how destructive capitalism is to human creativity and happiness should radicalise everyone.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I'm listening through Tales of Lunis Aquaria, Vol 2 as a last check.

This volume has eight new stories set in Lunis Aquaria, pick a number between 1 and 8 and I'll give a non-spoilery snippet from the story of your choice!

(if someone picks the same number, I'll post a different line)
