#QueerWriters Pretty dope! I got my *very first* acceptance from a magazine (@nygelmag.bsky.social) which is a HUGE deal to me and I'm being frankly feral about it. It's not even just the acceptance, but me managing to kill the beast of shame and defeatism within me and apply in the first place 😁

A purple image of a robot with breasts and a cat tail, holding a collar. The text reads: "E, transfem4transfem, body modification, cyberpunk dystopia. CYBERDOLLS. "You think I want some darkweb fetishist hacking my pussy, or my girlfriend?" With the body police hunting down nonconformists, medical transition is nearly impossible. Luckily, Calypso has a biohacker girlfriend willing to get her hands dirty."
