My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle!

A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up!

Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆

At my university right now: student demonstration to keep campus housing gender inclusive.

Will thread resources, articles, things you can boost!

#Jayhawks they are especially looking for solidarity from alumni, but anyone can help!!

A reminder thread about my books if you are looking for #TransRightsReadathon ideas!

My latest short story collection is titled Power to Yield and Other Stories.

Very trans, very intersex, science fiction / fantasy / weird & people turn into plants.

Just in from my library requests, three books by a new-to-me intersex author, Brian Brett! Excited to read.

These people should play something hardcore, like Toki Tori 2+.

Let's do this!

It has just been announced that my newest short story collection, Power to Yield and Other Stories, is on the Locus Recommended list.

This is a very trans & intersex book & I feel like it didn't get a lot of reviews.

Ping me for a review copy!

If you don't review books, repost 🥰

Just got some books from the warehouse of my academic library and wow this one is fascinating, why aren't people reading it. 2 volumes of interviews on US #kidlit publishing in the 80s. Authors, illustrators, at least one art director, etc. Just read a bit so far, but super revealing details.

Today's rec thread on #BogiReads, a longer read for the weekend; and also for #Novellavember!

Your Shadow Half Remains by Sunny Moraine @dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social - published by Tor Nightfire, 2024.

An apocalyptic horror novella where people become murderously violent if they make eye contact -

Bleu, l'enfant de la Terre!

I only have one episode of it, if someone has more, please let me know. I watched the whole series on Hungarian TV way back.

The thing with someone who habitually takes credit for other people's accomplishments is that when they say something that looks cool, interesting, etc. - you *cannot* know it was first said by them.

About Ekpeki, this stood out for me a while ago... (cont'd)

Here is Julian K. Jarboe if you are in need of a Christian trans perspective, from Rosalind's Siblings (edited by me, not a Christian, but I loved this poem).

In case you need this tonight.

Thank you @phoebebarton.bsky.social for bringing it up.

"Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #234,827!"

I don't have any fun factoids about this number and I somehow feel like I should... (I generally don't have fun factoids about numbers tbh)

It's not a prime, it's divisible by 449.

I played so much Pizza Worm multiplayer, mostly with my brother. It's like a Snake game, but you can turn at any angle, and that makes it approximately 1000 times better.

I think this small game came out of the Finnish demoscene??

I wanted to this for a while, but I waited until I got a working laptop! Here we go! Looks fun :)

I recently had a new collection! A lot of queer/trans/intersex stories, also people turning into plants and the rental that drinks blood.

Hungary right now!! Anti-government demonstration and solidarity with victims of child abuse.

(There is a recent ongoing scandal that so far resulted in two high-ranking Fidesz cronies resigning because they signed a pardon for a convicted abuser, probably due to his govt connections.)

Let's do this!!!

Here is my new book that came out just now! Very trans, very genre-bending.

📚 Repost this post + give me a page number 3-185 & I'll handpick a quote for you from that page. 📚

Here's the book, if the quotes made it sound interesting :'D amzn.to/3UBawAP (US Amazon associate link)
