Wow. Okay now that I’ve seen Elmo’s sister proudly defending his salute while also being at the inauguration ball…I hope no authors work with Passionflix going forward. Fuck em.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Help This Trans Person Wipe the Floor with his Cis Competition You obviously want to support transgender people, especially transgender people in sport during this period when soon, we will once again no longer be allowed on the field. I’m asking that you plea…

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember:

You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

This is the correct response from a union leader when the president does a crazy thing. FYI to American unions

Join us for our weekly write-in! We'd love to have you!

This is a great breakdown of the work that sensitivity readers/consultants/inclusion consultants like us do.

I'm going to add a few insights I've gleaned from my work in this direction to my own thread.

You may have noticed that the preorder for Undeniable You has disappeared. There was a problem with uploading the final file, so the preorder was canceled. The original release date was supposed to be 11/12, and I was unable to meet that deadline.

Things in the United States have been really rough recently (for obvious reasons) and instead of being able to distract myself with my books, I was unable to do anything. I’m truly sorry for not handling this release better and for not being transparent.

What does this mean for Undeniable You? This means that the book WILL release on 11/19, it will just be a “live” release so you will not be able to preorder it. The book will go live sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

If you’re a Kindle Unlimited reader, this doesn’t change anything for you. You’ll be able to read it as usual as soon as it goes live. Once again, I’m so sorry for not addressing this sooner and leaving you in the dark. I hope you’ll still take a chance on Jo and Larison’s story.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT UNDENIABLE YOU:

I don't know who needs to hear this, everyone I think, but if you send a PDF to your kindle and put 'convert' as the subject it will change it to epub format for you, you're welcome

(I posted this on the other place and was surprised by how many people it helped so thought I'd do it here too.)

I have feelings about this

Draw me a picture: There is a dog wearing a hat sitting at a table drinking coffee. The room around him is on fire. The dog cheerfully says "This is fine"

Yeah, like... this is just a near-identical copy
