Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil by #VESchwab

Absolute perfection as always! How is it that in just a few short lines I am so deeply immersed in a book? Schwab’s writing is like musical magic - woven to pull you deep within a dream of a story 😍

I’ve shared my review of #GradyHendrix’s #WitchcraftForWaywardGirls over on Instagram! Please go and check it out!

Such a fantastic book and astounding that it was written by a man as it’s so perceptive on the female perspective 🥰

Are you cis and mad about Trump's attacks on trans people last night at the State of the Union? You can yell about it online and accomplish nothing, or you can financially support trans creators, donate to trans mutual aid funds, and tell your friends to do the same.

Somehow I have the feeling that when people die and meet their maker, LGBTQ people will fare far better than those who harass and try to erase their existence. I am straight cisgender and will never understand the hate. I just want people to be able to be who they are and be happy.

Time for a bit of reality - a thread.

Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills.

The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter.

Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.
