A floating crown? All I see is sunlight shining through his thinning hair. Dementia patients often have hallucinations in which they see something and misinterpret it as something else - this happened with my mother. E.g. seeing a walking stick and thinking it's an umbrella

This is a wonderful and moving ghost story. My favourite work from Premee Mohamed. Do yourself a favour and get it

Anyway I keep forgetting to yell about this book when it is 🍂seasonal 🍂 but THE APPLE-TREE THRONE (a little vanity project I self-pubbed in 2018) is also available on Kobo and in audio!

A young soldier returned from war is haunted by the ghost of his commanding officer (a posh git)

Had a friend at school, he asked me to phone him and when I asked him what the number was, he just said "It's in the phone book." I know it's in the phone book, asshole, just tell me the fucking number.

He was eaten by a dinosaur the next day. Karma's a bitch

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Not quite. In the Table Talk, Hitler rails against *Catholics* but the Nazis were German Protestant Christians (barring a few weirdoes who believed in mystical bullshit, but even then there may have been some Christian theology mixed in because all this New Age stuff is syncretistic)

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

The Canadian "Elbows Up!" response to the 51st State rhetoric will have damaged US airlines a fair bit, I think. The general US economy is turning down, but it's worse for tourism services

We're at 8 people who are potentially interested, can we increase these rookie numbers? We'll need plenty more people to get this printed.
Feel free to share with your friends 🖤🌿

Okay quick question. I have found a local print shop that offers fair and eco conscious products, including this lovely light olive hoodie.
I wonder if I should offer this design for pre-order? Would you get one?

It seemed to originate with the American far Right, sneering at "liberals" and accusing any good works by them as "virtue signalling" (while simultaneously praying loudly in public, or performing similar acts, to signal to their own peers that they are themselves "virtuous")
