Trans Day of Remembrance is not just a day to recognize our grief. It is a promise to keep fighting. Stand proud, queerlings. Trans people are living proof of the divine. #transdayofremembrance #protecttranskids #protectthedolls🏳️‍⚧️ #transmascpride #nonbinarypride

There is something sacred in reclaiming the old ways. Much of our culture was changed by an invader, the "frightening" parts snuffed out. But we, the descendants, can always find our stories. They live in our hearts-an inheritance waiting to be claimed. #aztecfolklore #mexicanheritage #brujeria

🌕🎃It's Witchy season!!🎃🌕 So, it is time for me to remind you that I am the proud queer witch who wrote a series in which the FMC is a bada$$, morally grey necromancer with a chip on her shoulder for the oppressive government that had her killed. #witchyromance #spookyseason #technomancers

My mother was always supportive of me. She let me wear what I wanted, play the game the boys played, even called me by my true name. That all changed when my father had her committed. ##queerhistoricalromance #genderfluid #trans #indiebooks

I feel like a lot of the distaste for it stems from our current cultural repulsion for anything dealing with the childbearing body: periods, gynecology in general, and of course pregnancy. Thoughts?

Seeing a lot of posts about the pregnancy trope being a yuck for people. What do you all think about it? As an author who struggled with infertility and horrible fears about pregnancy, I write this experience wholeheartedly, both the beauty of it and the ugly side of it. ##authors #readers 1/2
