It's Trans Awareness Week! So increase your weekly awareness of us by reading our stories.
(Our books also make great holiday gifts for your conservative relatives you'd like to never speak to you again!)

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?

It's the last day of my birthday week! If you can throw a few bucks at my car fund over on Ko-Fi that would mean the world to me! If not, please share this far and wide and help a trans man finally get out of the damn house.

I've commissioned @adorkabows.com to make me 2 bows based on chars in my book. Backers of TheLuckyMachine.com are getting updates about the status of the bows (omg can't wait) but here's the very first ones which I released a couple of days ago

I'm on my second playthrough of Pokemon Violet, trying to actually finish my dex this time, and I think the best ending to this game after you've beaten all 47 of the main quests in this thing is having to defeat the mob of 50000 Gimmighouls I've robbed in the past two months.

It feels like we are already moving on from the implications of the Epstein emails.
As Judith Herman observed:
“The knowledge of horrible events periodically intrudes into public awareness but is rarely retained for long. Denial…and dissociation operate on a social as well as an individual level.”

So the visual novel is based on a fanfic I wrote that careened off the rails into an urban fantasy leaving the fanfic elements far behind. I'm revamping and recasting the licenced characters into OCs with a similar purpose.
It's so much more than a love story.
