"Seek out different viewpoints" on an issue doesn't mean you need to go read hateful takes. It should mean, for instance, making sure that your only perspectives on trans issues aren't coming from rich white trans women in the United States.

Hey, it's Black Friday. Instead of fighting with suburban wine moms over cheap commercial junk with built-in obsolescence, buy a couple of books by trans authors from indie bookstores
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.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
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?

While we're giving thanks ...

If you pick up a book by an indie trans author, they'll be thankful for the sale, while you'll be thankful for a good read!

I can't believe we've completed 7 years of this glorious pod. It's been amazing to share our opinions with all of you!! @charliejane.bsky.social and I are slowly dreaming up our next project, which we will share with you sometime in 2026!!! For now, farewell and thanks for all the fish.
It's our last episode! We're so grateful to everyone who's listened to us for the past 7 years.

We're using this occasion to talk about the state of science fiction and fantasy in the 21st century — and what has shaped the stories we've loved.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

be the bigolas dickolas you wish to see in the world.
FWIW: Mention books you like or you think others might like. You never know what'll happen:

I saw The Sad Bastard Cookbook here so I mentioned it on Masto (in a "in case you need this" sense). It kinda went viral (1K shares). It jumped to a high ranking on Amazon and then they got media attention.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I tried ordering Magica Riot: Full Bloom from my local indie bookstore, but they got confused and ordered the first one instead

Which is a terrific book, but I already have a copy!

Hopefully Take Two works and it arrives quickly
