Harry Connolly (@byharryconnolly.bsky.social) is one of my fave authors.

He needs $ help. harryjconnolly.com/17553-2/

For a good binge read, grab his completed epic fantasy trilogy The Great Way.

His "A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark" is the best standalone urban fantasy I've read.
A Very Bad Month
Okay. So. I need to update everyone on where things stand for me, why I have made almost no progress on the new novel in the past month, and how things are looking for the future.  What I don&#8217…

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Mutual Aid Request: my medicaid is STILL refusing to cover a vital antipsychotic. I'm changing insurance at the start of the year but I have two more fills before then. With GoodRX the total comes to about $35

Cashapp and paypal are best but stripe works

Pecan pie on its own is kind of sickly sweet. The key is to throw some semisweet chocolate in there. And bourbon, if you're into that.

As a former indie bookseller, sometimes one single special order would make me order four copies into stock so I could put it faced out. Buying books with actual money, especially from indie bookstores, makes such a difference.
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
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.

4 years ago today, I got my offer of pub for CRIP UP THE KITCHEN. 3 years ago today, it went to the printer (1 year is an extremely rushed production cycle for a cookbook oof).

Today is the perfect day to buy it for yourself or the disabled people in your life!

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Wow. Vitale wrote The End of Policing, advocating for community-based solutions for safety instead of policing.
I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.

I'm 19% into my Ko-fi goal which means I got health insurance for another month. Meeting the full amount will give me a couple months' worth of breathing room to find a more permanent solution so... Any contribution or share helps. And thanks to everyone who helped or messaged to express support.❤️

Good news we have hot water, bad news this shit was expensive
Please buy my books? Definitely need to sell a few dozen (hundred sob) copies
Plumber confirmed that the fuses blowing yesterday was due to the water heater and we need a new water heater. I did find the fuse for the water heater itself so we're good heating wise
(last night we had no light or heating in half the flat, which is less fun).
Wheee
Please buy my books?
