If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Are you ready (me pretending like i don’t still have so much work to do)

A digitally drawn artwork on a salmon colored background with two characters, one is covered over in green with a big white question mark over their face, the other is exposed and is a pretty white lady with blonde hair and blue accessories and a sparkling, inquisitive feeling to her.

Love Shiver Me? Wanna know who’s helming book two? You remember Odette don’t you???

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I genuinely want the subscription based economy to just die completely.

Indie authors and trad authors are literally all in this together… we all need to be paid more. We all need to be supported in excited and varied projects!! Possibly we all need a union ;)

Circumstances have changed, and Im trying to raise 6000 USD.

I have an ongoing 20% off sale in my shop and a ko-fi.

I currently have emergency commissions up on ko-fi

I know times are tough for everyone, so all I can ask for is shares.

Today is Sex Worker's Rights Day. Sex worker rights are human rights not just because we're humans just like you, but also any rights taken from us will be taken from you too.

Surveillance, police violence, debanking, censorship, we faced all of those for years before it turned on everyone else.

Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day, a time to support and uplift sex workers everywhere—and a particularly good day to throw some money to the United Brothel Workers in Nevada who were illegally terminated after their historic union drive with CWA went public! ☂️

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

Watching Battleship Potemkin to calm my nerves

Welp. Seems like it's a good day to highlight trans books. I'll do this off and on all day, no idea how long the thread will eventually be. And if you need any trans book recommendations, post in here and I'll point you toward people who might know if I don't since I mostly do romantasy.

It should be illegal that there are great books I am not interested in reading at all!!!

Tired of pirates who are obsessed with booty?

Jk jk Shiver Me’s pirates are definitely looking for more booty… impossible to stop them

Ursula K. Le Guin — Nominate a Book for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction

Anyone can nominate book-length speculative fiction that embodies "hope, equity, and freedom; non-violence and alternatives to conflict; and a holistic view of humanity’s place in the natural world."

I sort of hate that making more books (trad, indie, whatever) is predicated on selling the books we currently have! I get it but!!! We need new to invest in new stuff too!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

most shockingly of all, the alien craft was reportedly adorned with a sort of bumper sticker that said "Earth Hoes Cant Fuck"

The world is extra tough on trans people right now so…

Why not support a trans-led project with a bunch of gorgeous trans art? 🩷

And also prove to the regime that we’ve always been here and aren’t going anywhere!!

I think I might need fantasy romance recs, especially queer ones. I probably already know on some level a bunch of good options, but it might help to get my memory refreshed + hear about new ones
