Lol, just got added to an anti anti-ai list. Proud to be there. AI is not inevitable and we don't have to participate.

Think it's time to acknowledge this was a pipe dream. The funds are just never going to be here because survival in these times costs too much. I'll probably keep the handle for now but the I'll be losing the website url soon because I simply can't afford the renewal.

Alright, I'm back. I couldn't hack it in the corporate book world (turns out the CEO is anti-union, who could have guessed) so now we are free to get back to work on Electric Sheep. Website soft launch soon.

Okay, I have to start somewhere. If you write queer and/or trans genre fiction, will you please link me your work? The first step to creating the bookstore and community space I want is supporting the authors it's meant to represent. 💙📚

Going in to 2025, its important that you *actually own* the queer and trans literature you consume. That's why for ebooks you should always look for DRM-free storefronts like Itch, or an author/publisher's website, where you can buy a downloadable .epub you can read anywhere, and is yours forever

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Indie bookselling tends to be romanticized as ‘cause work’ which is used to argue that booksellers should tolerate grossly low pay because it’s just so cool and fun to sell books! To be this wealthy and not invest in the workers who make that possible is actually not cool or fun.

Small update and hello to the (300ish 🫠) new followers. Because of the much needed job that I just took, the prospective bookstore side of this account is going to have to pause for a bit. Maybe only for the holidays, we'll see. I will, however, forever and always be here championing trans authors.

If you're looking for a queer book about killing tyrants to show up at your house in 2025, we will take your angry $25 and make it angrier. (We can also turn an angry $2500 into a ton of angry writing, including a zine of angry gay art.) www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

My focus here is genre fiction (SFF/horror/romance) from trans authors, but I will repost and celebrate all trans authors wherever they are publishing. This book looks stunning, and I can't wait to read it.

Seems like there may have been some kind of "share these queer/trans bookish accounts in solidarity" post. Hi, sorry you found me in this moment. Eventually, there will be something substantial here, but at the moment we're just trying to keep our heads above water.

Since I'm seeing "your local businesses need you more than ever!" posts. Hahahaha no. Your local *people* need you more than ever. Please stop conflating the two. Support specific local businesses if they are actually doing tangible things for the community, but stop assigning virtue to "local."

My wife asked me yesterday, what gives me hope in the system and I had to tell her that I don't have hope in the system. What I have hope in is people because people survive. They live in joy and defiance of the systems that would break them. Things are bleak, but *people* still matter.

For those seeking a way to divest from Bezos, I would recommend that you stop using Amazon. For non-book items, try to shop locally. For books, switch your allegiance to the fabulous Bookshop.org. In both my personal and professional lives I've done so, and it's been great.

If trans people are posting their work here today, I’d like to share mine. I’ve written a novel about a freshly-out trans girl who discovers she’s also a magical girl. Chaos/hijinks ensue as she figures out what being a girl - magical & otherwise - is all about. Out later this year! magicariot.com

An image of the book cover for the novel "Magica Riot" overlaid on a photo of Portland, Oregon, with a series of text by it. The text reads: "Do you enjoy magical girls? Super Sentai?

Really going to advise other trans women (and all trans folks, but she focuses primarily on us) to not seek out and read the E. Lily Yu substack. It's grotesque and hateful and nothing you haven't heard before. You don't need to read another bigot's brain-rotted screed comparing us to diseases.

Echoing Nico here, the newsletter is pure transphobic brain rot. It's not worth your time. There is no rational or scientific basis for transphobia. It's just bigotry. The field has numerous trans and nonbinary authors whose work would be a better use of your time. Trans siblings? I love you.
