my review is quoted on here! i definitely recommend checking Lesser Hungers out
The reviews are starting to flow in for @riengray's LESSER HUNGERS.

This novella packs one hell of a punch, and based on these reviews, you won't want to miss it. Available now!

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

been using my recovery time to read a shitton of novellas that've had sitting on my shelf and i've been really impressed with @neonhemlock.bsky.social's output. read some of their stuff before but reading a bunch in a row really drove the quality home! publisher punching above their weight class

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

Rita Hester was a beautiful soul and a fixture of the Boston queer community who lived large and unapologetically. Her unsolved murder sparked Transgender Day of Remembrance, but her story is often forgotten.

Today, we celebrate her life and continue the work to end violence against trans women.

This affects the ebook of my mythic realist novella THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR. If you want to get the ebook, you can order it directly from the @subpress.bsky.social here. It's about a family who may be refugees from another reality, living in Calcutta.
