Have you looked at this incredible bundle yet? There are so many authors I love in there, I can't fit them all in Bluesky's character limit! Huge thanks to Al Hess for putting this together. And we're already halfway to our goal!! itch.io/b/2927/sff-b... 🌈🚀💫

The words "itch.io SFF trans books bundle!" over an animated stary sky. There is a city scape below and additional info (30+ authors, 3/28 to 3/31). the colours are beautiful vaporwave

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.

Life is so short. We are all going to die. Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best. Love is what makes life tolerable and good. Those who take that away are the cruelest, most wretched.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates. Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up. And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

Every time you see a story in the media announcing that puberty blockers are banned, it's untrue. They've just been banned for trans kids. Cis kids who are in distress because of precocious puberty still get them. Trans kids who in distress, don't. People, generally, don't know that.

Speak up. Yes. Then get to work. Equal justice under the law means the trans community deserves a permanent solution to ensure their rights & needs are being met. As the parent of a trans adult, I demand it 🏳️‍⚧️ #ProtectTransKids #ProtectTransAdults

Queer Liberation Library @queerliblib.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Wow, hi new followers, hey! We’re Queer Liberation Library. QLL is a digital library of queer ebooks & audiobooks available FOR FREE to anyone in the US. Our collection’s in Libby so you can read to your heart's content on your e-reader, phone, etc. membership details downthread~

A scrapbooky, zine-like image. In the top left corner there’s a picture of a young kid in rainbow face paint waving a rainbow flag atop a woman's shoulders, as they both watch a pride parade. A photo of a group of people, young and old, carrying a pink LESBIAN & GAY PRIDE banner is seen in the bottom center. Top right, a picture of two gorgeous drag queens: one in a light pink wig and white dress decked in butterflies, and the other literally dressed as Lady Liberty in a rainbow toga.

Text throughout, in mismatched fonts and on torn paper, reads "Q: So, what is QLL? a: Queer Liberation Library is an ONLINE DIGITAL LIBRARY …that is by and for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies, focusing on queer materials and queer perspectives.”

This book was amongst by Best Reads of 2023: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This story contains and covers multitudes. It ties its character to the sticking place, and we are bound as well, by a trans woman’s hopes, desires, losses, and visceral fears of the danger she faces every single day."
