Ryan's Odyssey is the first book that I actually published. The reason I did so is that I would like to inspire at least one person to experience a beautiful moment, in the hope that they might inspire the same in someone else. As a maharishi said, more people need to meditate more to create change

@mkalexander.bsky.social thanks for reposting my dad’s book 🥰

Ooh I don’t know of any off the top of my head, but I grew up partly in Vancouver and little sisters bookstore in Vancouver is an amazing part of the queer history in Vancouver and could likely point people to any books that exist.

So well deserved! I found your writing through Mica and Grace’s story. As an autistic person the way you wrote Grace’s son and her and Mica’s relationship did my heart good. So happy to now get to catch up with them and read more about Debs 🥰🥰

So excited! Ford has pissed my 16 year old nephew off so much (the election called early means he can’t vote, if in 2026 he’d be 18) that he’s sitting here amped up to door knock for @chandrapasma.bsky.social

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.

Sadie Laflamme-Snow, Andie MacDowell and Chyler Leigh are standing together slightly sideways to the camera. They shot is from chest upwards. Andie's head is leaning slightly into Sadie's, who is also leaning slightly backwards. Chyler is just standing normally. Sadie has a green top on, Andie a white or off white shirt, while Chyler has what looks like a tee with a light blue shirt over the top.

Evan and Chyler are dancing intimately in a kitchen. Foreheads are touching. Chyler has one are wrapped around the back of Evan's nexk. She has a light green sweater, he has a light blue shirt with a white tee underneath.

Real and very loved 🫂

Oops yep I did go with a new one and didn’t say anything 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Hey we've all had a minute to process, right? All done? Good.

Let's talk about some guidelines for continued use of our social media systems. This one appears better than the others, but the same forces are coming for all of them. A quick thread. 🧵🧵🧵

People will be like "Oh! These trans people want outrageous things!" and the "outrageous things" are literally just

• legal protections against discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, public accommodations, etc

• the ability to update identity documents to accurately reflect name/gender

I’ve known I was gay since I knew what it meant. I’m tired. Tired of the rights of myself and my LGBTQ + family being up for debate in every election since I started paying attention to politics. Tired of people I know voting against my rights and expecting ME to be the bigger person.

My guy has taken to deciding if I won’t go to bed at bedtime then he’s not waiting for me 😂😂

So grateful to have the block feature 🥰

MAGA is going to chase you over here. They'll chase you where ever you go on social media. They can't survive without making you miserable. Why do you think Truth social failed? They need conflict. Don't give it to them and don't engage. Bluesky has amazing block functions. Block them into the void.

Posts + Replies Media Patrick@fanxioustastic.bsky.social •2m I do not remember things that did not happen. • Removed by you •••

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)

Worth sharing again - engaging with the worst people exposes all of your followers to them. This *helps* the worst people. So don't.

I just want to point out that Colorado went above and beyond to pass laws protecting trans kids this year and the result was them holding the House supermajority and keeping the Senate majority while losing zero seats (flipping one, and losing the one that was the guy who changed parties)

Going to try and start being more active over here so hi! Time for a reintro since it feels extra important to hype queer books nowadays. I'm Carli from the Philly area and my debut YA, It's a Love/Skate Relationship, releases on Jan 28 with HarperTeen! 🥰⛸️🏳️‍🌈🏒 #YAlit #kidlit #sapphicbooks #sapphic

Same. 😊

Same!

😂😂😂

The worst of it is that certain people will celebrate, not mourn.

The sheer cruelty is unbelievable.

Hey bluesky newcomers! I write SFF and specifically
-the Xuya universe, Vietnamese empire in space with sentient spaceships (and also disaster sapphics)
-the Dragons and Blades stories, alt-19th century Vietnam, comedies of manners and murders
-Navigational Entanglements, sapphic xianxia in space
