Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"

But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

I know that experience. I spent a large portion of my life living exactly this way because I was *terrified* that someone might see who I actually am.

It's literally better to be openly trans, even with all the shit going on right now, than to live the life some cis men impose on themselves.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.

A blue space background with a large planet taking up the right side and a spaceship along the bottom. In the center is the cover of Gems and Star Flowers by Amara Lynn and Primrose Song, which has a space scene with a planet taking up the right half and a space ship along the body. In the center is an illustration of two people. The one on the left has brown hair, white skin with pearls scattered on his arms, and wears goggles, a dark blue shirt, brown pants, and dark brown shoes. The person the the left has purple floral skin, light blue hair with purple streaks, a pink shirt, and purple pants. Text at top of the graphic reads: Back it now.

For my next book, I’ve been racking my brain for a drag queen character. She needs to be drawn from 1980s pop culture. And I’ve just come up the perfect geek queen: Tomi Faye Baker.

An accident on the TARDIS leads to a partial regeneration of the Doctor – half Tom Baker and half Tammy Faye Bakker.
Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, with a characteristically manic expression Evangelical Christian and queer icon, Tammy Faye Bakker with huge blond hair and tons of makeup

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

A terracotta sculpture of a the head and neck of a herding/shepherd type dog, seen from the front, with his head tilted and one ear up as of he has just been asked, “who’s a good boy then?!” and he’s thinking, “is it me?! could it be me?!!” The same sculpture as described in previous, but seen from the side. The dog is very good and I would like to pet him, 13/10 ancient fella

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?"

Q. It wasn’t just Trumpism. Some Democratic voices say it’s time to move beyond the issue of trans rights in areas like sports, which affect very few people. A. You could say that about the Jews, Black people or Haitians, or any very vulnerable minority. Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?

Just for my own edification, if you are BIPOC and living in Canada and write gothic horror do you mind saying hi to me on this thread?

you don’t get to indulge in whataboutism as an excuse to not do anything.

stop insisting COVID-aware folk want you to shut down the world. we’re asking you to open it up—for everyone.

so be a big boy/girl: wear a mask, and it you want to help disabled people, take a cue from the late alice wong:

As an author, I receive an endless slew of emails and DMs from scammy ‘book marketers’. My favourites are the ones that come from big name authors.

Every now and then, I like to have a little fun with them.
