As a fellow trans person who hopes to be an author β thank you for speaking out. I'm sorry you've been put in that position. We won't get proper consistent representation by pushing trans voices into boxes, or silence. I hope you won't lose hope because of people who forget we aren't a monolith π«

Peak?
If you're reading this and thinking, "I haven't read any," now's the perfect moment to start!
If you're looking for an incomplete list of authors, I wrote an article in 2024 on the subject: thetransfemininereview.com/2024/10/09/b...

I'm running this! So excited β¨
Recently discovered 2/3 of the books I was most excited to get from my wishlist are either out of print, US only, obscure novellas, were never physical books to begin with, or a mix of those things. Post-holiday shopping is gonna turn into a treasure hunt π

Got the delightful @samfern.bsky.social to do a professional developmental review of my novella's first draft β a first ever for me β and oh my god now I just want to shut myself in and write but I need to wait until life is less... *gestures at everything*

Hey Jeff β I'm the bookseller at Typewronger who awkwardly gifted you a pen when you visited last year. Thank you so much for helping to amplify this. Seeing you and other amazing authors stand for our colleagues and our little independent community means a lot.
This has been an absolute gut punch and something that CANNOT go ahead.
Oh this is a brilliant title.
Argonaut is one of the best bookstores I've ever set foot in. They deserve better.
The day I actually post a review again is also the day I get offered a complimentary copy of a book I was gonna try and source anyway. If this was the universe trying to give me a sign... Bit on the nose π€
The meme format with Lisa Simpson standing in front of an audience with a projector screen behind her back. The screen reads: "Social media stories are a massive scam created to manufacture FOMO and keep us glued to whatever platform is using them because truth is if we all posted permanent content there would be no urgency to check our feeds and we could just log in and catch up whenever."

And here they are! I can't wait to dive into it. I flipped through it and kept going OH I LOVE THAT ONE every few pages! Again, fantastic job.
100% will do! My partner is a designer and a photographer and he's blown away at the quality of it all - as soon as his new lens comes in, you'll regret asking π

@jacobgeller.com's How A Game Lives Deluxe Edition showed up on our doorstep today completely by surprise and it already has a full blown photoshoot planned. This is a wonderful piece of art, not only because of the writing, but because of its design, materials, colours β everything. Wonderful.
If you're trying to figure out where to donate this Pride season, whether its your own money or a corporate fund there's only one good answer at this point- DIRECTLY TO TRANS GFMS KO-FIS AND FUNDRAISERS.
If you want to make actual change, since we know policymakers won't do shit, this is where.
@nicklutsko.bsky.social released Look At This Love today and I've already listened to it about a thousand times. Love at first listen. Thank you for this β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
