It's apparently international non-binary day, and while I don't really like the term for myself (I prefer genderqueer), if you'd like to support an nb writer in India here's a thread of my books, starting with the one that helped me figure out that I'm genderqueer in the first place.

It's Pride month, so I'll say that my debut THE DEVOURERS, a novel about shapeshifters and queerness, sex and sexual violence, probably helped me figure out I was genderqueer & had experienced sexual assault (both belatedly, after publication). It also helps (v modestly) me earn an income:

The Farwana family is sick & starving in Israel's genocidal famine & attack on Gaza. They require urgent healthcare, including for Khalil, injured, his children, & his wife Noreen who suffered an accident. Please share & give to help them survive, Bsky closes their accounts constantly:

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️‍⚧️

FWS have won their case against the Scottish Government. We will be reading the judgement as quickly as possible so we can properly understand what the Court has decided today.

"Winter emptied the trees, filled them again with snow.
Because I couldn't feel, snow fell, the lake froze over.
Because I was afraid, I didn't move;
my breath was white, a description of silence."
