Can personally vouch for the usefulness of Affinity photo and designer. Way cheaper than an Adobe subscription in the long run too

Each square has a date in the top right corner, starting with 2nd and ending with 29th. The first row, from right to left, is Trans Woman Main Character, Gay Man Main Character, Neurodiverse Main Character, Bisexual Main Character, Trans Main Character with Powers, Non-binary Main Character, Magical Girls, Disaster Bisexual, Activism Writing, A Trans Comic, Non-fic Killjoy, A Trans Memoir, Trans Authored Non-fic, by a Global South author, Historical Queers, Queer Dark Fantasy, Queer Science Fiction, Coming out Story, Queer Platonic Relationship, Sapphic, PolyAm Romance, Transbian Vampire, Timeloop, Metaphor for Transition, Unusual Transition, Terfs Meeting Bad Ends, Reach Heaven Through Violence, and Happy and Hopeful.

Finishing a really good fan fic is so emotionally taxing. Time to go back to the mines to find another gem in the rubble, I guess.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

Important that people recognise this was published nearly a year ago. You're only just noticing it now because the media completely buried it because it's not convenient to their narrative. Tell people about it.

I don't have a solution. This isn't that sort of thread. I'm pleading a bit. Don't stop caring, even if you're tired. Care about trans people. Care about immigrant neighbors. Care if people are hungry, if children are sick. Building is tougher than breaking, but caring is how we win. /fin

Find yourself thinking ‘what I need is a massively queer cozy slice-of-life second-world-urban fantasy culminating in a heist’? I’VE GOT YOU 🌈📚💙🪐📚 #Booksky Find it today at books2read.com/Zimanges

On a gray background, the cover of a book depicting a man walking away down a shadowy city street, a spooky orange handprint behind him. Title: Zimanges, author: MC Burnell. Text on the cover reads: ‘A city this unique can’t be saved by heroes. What it needs is an oddball band of weirdoes.’ Arrows point from the cover to the phrases: Cozy slice-of-life/ a dashing wizard set to self-destruct/ a nifty fantasy city/ the ringleader is a pile of leaves/ a heist pulled off by novices!/ sweet queer romance, no tragedy guaranteed.

A collage of images: A pair of glasses under a strand of lights, lit/ a hooded figure amid trees with dark red leaves/ a barren mountain peak/ several pairs of hands forming the shape of a face/ a mossy log/ a narrow city street, street and buildings made of stone. Text over images reads: ‘Our heroes have to save the day. But only once the laundry is done and the bills get paid.’

I was reading a book I was really into but it had jumpscare transphobia as a character flaw for a main character in the last third and I can get enough of that on the news so... I'm starting Onyx Storm because my lib hold just came in. Pray for me. #currentlyReading 📚💙

It's also an example of why everyone — not just the sex workers — needs to fight back against the censorship "pornography." Pornography doesn't have a legal definition, and legislators are freely applying it to art, literature, healthcare resources and the existence of entire classes of people.

I truly believe that knitting something for someone is like trapping love and care into a physical object. That's why if you're in my life and are expecting a baby or get cancer you get a blanket. I gotta send care.

It's easy to say Trump voters fucked around are finding out but, I'm reminding myself daily that the billionaires and corrupt politicians that eroded the education system, built lie spewing media, and fed hate are my enemy, not my neighbor. Even if my neighbor believes me to be their enemy.

Haha turns out I was the problem the whole time. I completely dropped the ball on this one. We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba This book is on my digital bookshelf and it was so inspiring and made me feel like change was possible and within reach. I would recommend it to literally anyone.

Some Annaka coded characters.

Hecate from Lore Olympus. She's rolling her eyes in a really classy black blazer with silver shoulder accents. She has a severe bob cut with straight bangs but like in a classy badass way.

Ida from Owl House. Witch lady with big white hair and one gold canine tooth. Sitting in a rocking chair with a skeptical look on her face holding a mug that says "#1 bad girl".

Louise Belcher making an annoyed and disgusted face. Signature pink bunny ears are present.

Mermista from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She looks like she's laughing in a really sarcastic way.

I know the world is on fire and everything is bad but if you need some whimsy in your life to recharge, I beg you to watch the movie Legend (1985). The proto monster romance influence is unreal. Tim Curry as 10 ft demon. Goth princess is S tier. Omg ✨glitter✨ I feel nothing for bb Tom Cruise.

Tim Curry as a giant red demon with 3 foot tall horns an endless billowing cape, and an even taller scepter.

Goth princess. Pale skin, intense widows peak, giant lace headdress, largest standing dress collar you've ever seen. Black lipstick, curled tendrils gelled to hell and back.

A very young Tom Cruise in a giant sequinesque gold chain mail, and an extremely mirrored gold shield.

This is way worse than just SW and Porn. There is no legal definition for what porn is. So anything deemed inappropriate is porn. That's gonna be anything pro LGBTQ+, anything pro women, anything the fascist don't like. Eventually Everyone ends up in the cross hairs. Don't let this slip by.
