Myself & MANY of my best friends are trans, intersex, etc. Even if that were not the case, these are human rights. These are your friends, family, neighbors. We live in a horrifying time.

You match your friend! I love the candy cane leggings :)

My puppy is tucked in for a nap :)

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Cover of my book The Scottish Boy, a big fat medieval action/suspense/queer romance. If you like knights and think they should kiss, this is the book for you Cover is a dagger lying on dark foliage (mostly thistles) with the title and author name in light text, and the cover designer was Mark Ecob

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

Your Cosmic Kitten makes me so happy partly BECAUSE they draw inspiration from my favorite childhood Neopet. But they're not derivative at all, and have the Charmsey touch :)

I managed to claim one after 4-5 minutes, and I'm so excited! Thank you so much! Books from your giveaways have kept me going many days.

I claimed one! Thank you so much, I'm very excited to read :)

REALLY appreciate the warning. I find that fantasy series are often recommended without appropriate warnings. My husband and I both hate that and find it unnecessary, no matter the context and meaning, to be honest. I avoid books that don't at least cut away.

I'm sorry :( I've been very offline/off my phone, because it just doesn't get better. Thank you so much for the book, will read and review it on the sites ASAP ❤️

This is exactly what everyone needs today ❤️ claimed one, thank you! I am slowly acquiring his work. I've needed as much Pterry as I can read lately.

The book I was mentioning is We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad. I'm having a very good time so far! My favorite novels by her are All's Well and Rouge. My suggestions for great, unique novels without gore were: Mister Magic by Kiersten White, Slewfoot by Brom, and Dark Matter by Michelle Paver.

Horror with extra girl cooties is the very best ❤️ Julia Armfield, Mona Awad, T. Kingfisher, Hailey Piper, and CJ Leede to name a few. Carissa Orlando has just started publishing, but The September House?? Even male-authored books that GET it, like My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix.

I mentioned that I'm reading a (relatively tame) horror ARC, and a non-horror reader said the premise sounded unique, and intrigued her. The book has gore, though, so I recommended 3 other unique books I love that have no gore. I think every reader would love at least one horror novel!

Resurrecting this for no particular reason:

That was crazy 😅 I saw this after 3 minutes and they were all gone, wow! I've heard great things, so it makes sense :)

Kickstarters for novels seem to go very wrong as well, unless they're HUGE names with big publishers. I will say that other artistic individuals I've backed, such as indie game devs and plush artists, have been fantastic.

Lovely book!! I bought a copy of this ages ago ❤️ great pick to share with others

Also, yes, 100% correct

ANGELA 😍 I had such a crush on her AND Hodgins...

Thank you SO much. Would not have tried for one after 20+ minutes 😂 I've been trying to collect and read every Discworld novel 1 by 1...

Thank you so much for always giving away amazing books ❤️ I love so much of what ADE stands for. I have a copy, but need to read this ASAP. Currently distracting my brain with a very exciting ARC.

I didn't fully read this and thought it's said pride month continues until something something Miles Morales
And was fully like "yeah pride month SHOULD last until the next Spiderverse movie comes out...."

Pride month will continue through the rest of the year until morale improves

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

We donate a bunch of clothing and toys to a shelter nearby. Next is the new animal shelter in our area- blankets and pet toys. Soup kitchen and book donations recently. It makes me feel quite a bit better, for a moment.

Oooh, claimed one for my husband, thank you!! This sounds like a series he will LOVE

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"

Oof, very understandable!

Bought a copy of the first 👍
