Today and every day.

A black square features the words TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS in light blue, pink, and white because, 1. DUH, and 2. as Pedro Pascal said, "I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist." Trans rights are human rights, today and every day. <3

I just keep telling myself that it's okay to have a really terrible first draft and that, as long as I get down the story I want to tell, I can finesse it later on in the revision stage. 😮‍💨

Being recognized as 1 of 16 🇨🇦 authors to make the ALA’s 2025 Rainbow Book List, which highlights books w/ significant & authentic 2SLGBTQIA+ representation for young readers, is something I don’t take lightly because nothing—no laws, no administration—will ever change that we have always been here.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community: The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies. I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Reminder that you're not helping anyone by watching a vile man celebrate his inauguration tomorrow. If you're free tomorrow, your time would be better spent at a food pantry, or supporting friends in need, or working on art you're passionate about, or doing basically anything else.

It has come to my attention that one of the stores I was partnering with has recently removed all LGBTQ titles from their shelves so….it’s time to relaunch SKATER BOY’s preorder campaign! Snag a paperback of SB from any of the following stores to receive some 🛹🩰 swag! linktr.ee/anthonynerada

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.
