Why are you trans? Wrong answers only: Like a lot of my premie self, my sense of gender wasn’t fully developed, so I had no real guidelines to go off in the first place.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

Happy to announce my sweaty sapphic romcom SWEET MOTHER I CANNOT WEAVE will get its print release Sept. 20th! If you like sword lesbians ⚔️ courtship by combat, youll love this one! Snag it now digitally on itchio, preorder on the 'zon, or grab a signed copy slot here: www.tdcloudofficial.com/books

New title alert! Sweaty, sapphic, gladiatrix, romcom. Cursed by venus to never marry a man (score!), beefy gladiatrix x noblewoma, horny sapphics finding companionship and societal freecom via muscle gains, incredibly pent-up, carnal, desperate first-time smut, lots of sappho quotes. Pre-order now via amazon/kindle or tdcloudofficial.com/books.

Summary: Laelia Naevius is cursed by the goddess Venus: every single man her father offers her hand to dies before they can make it to the altar. She supposes she should be upset by this - the gods only know her father is - but she doesn't want to get married at all. How could she? She's too busy staring at another girl. And not just any girl - a gladiatrix. What is a girlt o do when every man betrothed to her dies before they can marry? Well, Lady Jihane is no man, so... maybe that?

A mood board in earthen tones with photos of clasped female hands, a stone statue of a woman, texture blocks of red earth, marble, sandstone, and sweaty skin, a photo of the coliseum, a photo of a backlit woman holding a sword, and a small text of "The Vibes" in the corner.
