Okay. One day left to get funds in for my overdue rent, and roughly 700 left to go on it. Sucks, but, well, it is what it is, and I'm asking for help.
If you wanna just donate, you can do that right here: paypal.me/tormentedart...

video of people being snatched by ICE at a laundromat shows an intersection between housing and immigration enforcement. if your unit and building don't have (working, available) laundry, that's one more errand where you have to spend significant time in potentially vulnerable public space

And they always have a sliding definition of "large account." I had someone declare me a "big trans account mean girl" when I had like 4,000 followers.

I would've sworn I replied to this back when it was first posted, but my response seems to have vaporized—thanks, Bluesky!—so here it is again. 🥰

Hey! Did you know I wrote a witchy book about gender, sexuality, magic, and polytheist spiritual practice?

Did you know it's got a great foreword by @sethanikeem.bsky.social?

Did you know you can buy it from various online booksellers… or DM me to buy a signed copy AND some free bonus stickers?

I say this as someone who isn't very social at all, I'm still mindblown by "hypersocial" being used as an insult.

I'm sick of "let's make this piece of children's media dark and gory." I want a return to the era of "let's make this child-unfriendly property into a Saturday morning cartoon."

Mainly, I want a The VVitch cartoon where Thomasin and Black Phillip have this dynamic.

Okay, y'all...if you quote-post the thread with your book link instead of adding your link to the thread, your ad won't be in the thread whenever I repost the thread and not a lot of people go through the quotes.

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?"
