While we're giving thanks ...

If you pick up a book by an indie trans author, they'll be thankful for the sale, while you'll be thankful for a good read!
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.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
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?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

A cat that's a dead ringer for Mr Business (Gayle's cat in Bob's Burgers) tried to come in my house this morning.

So close to getting a new cat.

Found a parade feed on YouTube that's not proper TV coverage. Just how a regular person watching the parade sees it.

Low key cooler than Al Roker
November 27, 2025 at 2:19 PM
Low grade bullshit the only channel free streaming the parade is Fox. Because of course the propaganda network is gonna stream it free with all their crap sprinkled on top.

So we have a youtube live stream someone set up of behind the scenes inflating the balloons on

One of the other moms at my kiddo's karate class yesterday had a shirt that said "Go Ask Your Dad"

And I low key think it would be hilarious to get cause my kids have two moms. 🤣

The 13yo especially has the sense of humor that'd be all over it.

I am always here for Mr Pibb jokes. They're funnier in my head because my first cat when I was living alone out of college was an orange named Mr Pibb. So I always picute his grumpy face.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I'm just realizing I never posted a final piece here for the Big Gay Back Piece. So: here it is, in all of its glory! 100% healed (the newest pieces around 4-5 months in our touch up session). Probably around 25-30 hrs under the needle, many more drawing and iterating and placing stencils
