Also, hey all GOO MAN fans, this is also still a thing. And I could definitely use some help.

Cover image of a book called The Collected Hulderotica Year One, written by Kaya Skovdatter. Background is a figure in a shadowed figure in a scarf and dress, holding an umbrella. Their face too is covered in shadow, only two unnerving points of light shining out of that darkness. Around the figure is a lush, overgrown forest painted in a variety of greens, and before them is a rock-edged forest pool with the figure's reflection cast in its green-tinged surface. The title is overlaid against the cover image, its text matte white.

We didnโ€™t get a ton of donations yesterday and the payments for TMS are due soon, so I wanted to boost this again. Can we make it $2000 by the end of the week? Please repost this if you see it! Thank you to everyone who has helped so far! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund

Seems like a new boycott just dropped. Let's see who ends up being the CostCo to their Target.

The "hilarious" thing about constant, unexpected costs is that I have been trying to put together funds to legally change my name for MONTHS. Every time I get partway there an emergency crops up and that money goes to something else.

One day, you know?

"But why buy copies now? It'll be out in a few days."

Yes but it's LESS now, though: 33% off until release day - next Tuesday.

AND I have multiple new, unexpected costs, some as of yesterday, some as of this morning...

I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money

I've talked about this here before, but my experience as a journalism instructor is that Grammarly makes students' writing worse. This was true even several years ago, pre-GenAI hype. The mushy, even incoherent sentences it created were what caused me to start warning them off it.

When y'all buy from indie authors, it impacts us profoundly. Especially if it goes outside the circle of authors trading a few dollars back and forth amongst ourselves.

I'd love to see a repeat of that study into the language used around male & female authors writing in the same genre, and the study into advance sizes offered within genres.

Is the gap closing at all? Because outwith romantasy, it doesn't feel like it

Handy tip for cis folk, we aren't an idea, like freedom or liberty, we are actual flesh and blood people. So if you're going to write a thread about us, make sure you get a trans friend to read it first, and if you don't have a trans friend, ask yourself why the fuck not and stop writing about us

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word โ€œgenocideโ€ but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
