There's no such thing as #1 Pinned Post🧵 to rule them all, but I shall post it nonetheless. It'll be gay, neurodiverse & beyond the binary.

For those who wander but are not lost & ponder "what if"?

It'll contain my books of the above, Final Fantasy +Narnia inspired, &invite All Writers to Discord👇
Left: Walking the Knife's Edges cover. Rarkin stands in foreground, wearing leather jacket and jeans, holding a stun gun raised to shoot to the left.

Miona stands on the right, smiling and with boxing gloved fists raised, ready to fight.

They both stand on a grassy slope, a patchwork of Farm Zone paddocks, fields and tree lined streams behind them, to a cloud covered horizon through which the yellow glow of the sun shines.

Text below cover: Make or break. Friends or fail. Monster containment.

Right: Ruarnon Trilogy Graphic with map background and a box of key points for each book.

Book 1, Manipulator's War: red glyph archway frames a smoky night sky, with fire arrows raining down on battlements on which a few torches burn. Ruarnon leans on a spear (left foreground), wearing fitted bronze armour and holding a bronze helmet.

Book 1 Text: Mystery, aro-arces, autism & ADHD, friendship.

Book 2, Secrets of the Sorcery War: blue glyph arch frames two extremely tall cliffs, through which a sailing ship sails across bright blue waters into sunlight.

Book 2 Text: monsters, forgotten weapons, adventure.

Book 3, War in Sorcery's Shadow: purple glyph arch frames a black cloudy sky, down from which a bolt of lightening strikes a shield around brown, crystaline towers of a castle. Castle sits atop barren plains of dead trees, a skull lying in foreground.

Book 3 text: resistance, secret organisations, save a mind & the world.

If you value money over morality,
If the level of your cowardice makes other cowards blush,
If you're an under-trained, racist (or other) p.o.s. in over your head,
I assume you work for ICE, or some other enforcer of the Trump Regime.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

Deleted my account two years ago, and I'd say the same of how it was back then, so I wouldn't want to imagine it now.

What makes for good lesbian romance? WEREWOLVES, duh. @sadhbhgirl.bsky.social joined me for a romp through her new novel "The Wolf Bane." We talk the healing power of dark humor, researching werewolves, crafting character studies, and of course, lesbians!

Oh good. I wasn't sure if the feed was faulty or my settings were hiding some posts from my Bsky view. You're welcome!

Hey. I stumbled across your post on a queer feed and had a go at making one. I can't seem to get it to pick up many posts, and its refusing to display your book one, but this emoji combo 🌈📚🖤 should post to it.
I'll keep tinkering when I've got a moment.

@transactualuk.bsky.social have released a tool you can use to ask your MP to tell government to scrap the bathroom ban and demand any new Code of Practice ensures providers can lawfully include trans people in their services.

It's time to turn the pressure up.

At this point I pretty much think of her as the most awful woman to recently in Aussie politics, and I say that as a nonbinary person, when Moira Deeming is still at large.

Spotify platforms Joe Rogan and other right wing manosphere accounts.

They barely pay the artists.

There are plenty of reasons to boycott them.

Now they’re allowing ICE recruitment ads in their “commercials”.

They’ve bent a knee, and we should all cancel.

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE.

It’s time to cancel your account.

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"
For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project
The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.
