And get on my lawn!

#WhatchaReading ? I very much enjoyed What Happens in Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon. It's a trope based plot-- reunited first loves, convenient marriage--but doesn't rely on the tropes to do all the work. The characters are believably real &flawed and they grow while falling in love. The […]

@lgbtqia Can you spare about 5 hours a week helping #trans people in very dire straits? Are you good at managing money? Are you careful with details? Do you think getting 93 Euros to Kazakhstan is a challenge? We need a volunteer bursar. email [email protected]

#WhatchaReading ? I enjoyed the audiobook of Swept Away by Beth O'Leary up to a point, and it you've read it, you probably can guess the point. ;-) The adventure part of the story was tense and exciting and gave both characters a chance to shine; I had no trouble believing they grew to know and […]

I'm sick and tired of being unable to gig, or even go to gigs, due to the lack of COVID cautious events with sensible mitigations (masks, LTFs, ventilation etc) I'm not the only one, and I know such events are starting to happen in the UK and elsewhere. Thinking v seriously about trying to put […]

Fediverse Report #114 - This week's #fediverse news: - Drama around a Fosstodon moderator, leading to the admins of the Fosstodon server stepping down. I take a closer look on what this says about how instance selection works on the fediverse, and why this means more servers should have a […]

I've hit a wall with obligatory reading, even though the obligations are completely self-inflicted. I don't even know what I *want* to read anymore. @Bookstodon #AmReading Not

Holy sh*t. This is a real xkcd, not funny, disturbing, and also one that must be shared https://xkcd.com/3081/

Just came across a link to alt-text for a pdf in the book I'm reading. A welcome feature I've never come across before.

[US pol, get me the fuck out of here] Can someone point me to info about leaving the country? Most of what I'm finding online seems to be for people looking for fucking tax shelters. Would an immigration lawyer be helpful? Boost appreciated

#WhatchaReading ? I liked many parts of Into the Woods by Jenny Holiday, but not so much the romance. https://willaful.wordpress.com/2025/04/22/into-the-woods-by-jenny-holiday/

From my latest piece. The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

[US politics - petition re deportation] Don't know how much good these do, but at least they don't demand a phone number. :-\ […]

Huzzah, I managed a @SuperWendy #TBRChallenge post - and of a book I really liked! https://willaful.wordpress.com/2025/04/16/tbr-challenge-past-present-future-by-rachel-lynn-solomon/ #RomanceBooks @romancebooks @romancelandia

Although my mom doesn't use social media, I swiped this new soot sprite emoji in her honor. 😂 :dustSprite: Thanks to @eclectech !

#WhatchaReading ? I wanted a formulaic Harlequin Presents for vacation reading and Girl Behind the Scandalous Reputation by Michelle Condor delivered exactly that. Unfortunately also delivered a touch of homophobia, so probably won't read her again. @romancebooks #RomanceBooks

Since my mom's been doing her great "I sew when I'm anxious" binge for almost ten years now, I've started needing to put clothes away seasonally. It's fun to take down the warm weather clothes and be reminded of cute things. And it also helps me decide what to pass on, because I realize I'm not […]

Love this quote from Casey McQuiston; it really sums up the value of good romance for me: “I’m going to take care of the reader, and they’re going to take care of me,” says McQuiston. “I am creating an emotional experience, and I’m having that experience with you. I am one of you.” […]

For the #TransRightsReadathon I read 8 books, DNfd one and have started a 9th (Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White. I'm going to donate $50 to the Transgender Law Center and $50 to our local queer centers.

#WhatchaReading ? I had to read Aydra Richard's latest #HistoricalRomance, Mercy Fletcher Meets Her Match, before KU ran out and I'm glad I did. It's a Loretta Chase-esque starchy hero/headstrong heroine story, made especially affecting by how perfectly they match. He's responsible and careful […]

#TransRightsReadathon #7 My favorite so far, The Prospects by K.T. Hoffman. One of the best sports romances I've ever read; the passion for baseball is as vital as the romantic passion. Gene, a young trans man, has trained himself to be happy that he made it into the minors and not to dream of […]

#TransRightsReadathon #6 A Quick & Easy Guide to Sex & Disability. (genderqueer author.) A cartoon guide wonderfully illustrated with diverse bodies and many types of disabilities. Primarily focuses on physical issues, but the advice applies generally. #bookstodon @bookstodon #LGBTQBooks

#TransRightsReadathon #5 transitions by Elodie Durand. (English translation, by a non-binary translator.) A graphic novel based on a true story of a mother coming to accept her transgender child, interposed with vignettes on gender diversity in history and biology. Includes an ending written by […]

For the crime fans 😇 there's an online auction from crime writers benefiting the Transgender Law Center: https://www.32auctions.com/writers4transrights

#TransRightsReadathon #4 Us by Sara Soler. (English translation.) Romantic me, I love true stories about couples who stay together after one of them transitions. A super cute graphica memoir, which has fun with the comic format. The author/artist is cis, but her girlfriend also contributes her […]

Dave Troy — “Pro-democracy creators currently publishing on Substack should be cognizant of the fact that they are operating behind enemy lines, and that the company's backers are antagonistic to your goals.”

#TransRightsReadathon #3 Grease Bats by Archie Bongiovanni. Comic strip collection about a twenty-something friend group trying to live their best queer lives despite politics, brokeness, terrible decision making, and imposter syndrome. I like the style of several short , punchy strips that […]

#TransRightsReadathon Book 2, The Bachelor's Valet by Arden Powell. (No trans characters, but I think the author is NB.) Basically a Wooster/Jeeves romance, which despite my love for fictional "himbos" I would never have expected to like! But it's cute and fluffy, with a very charming touch of […]

Unexpected volunteer. Narcissus? #BloomScrolling

@herhandsmyhands Hey friend. Are you doing okay? Just occurred to me that your stress level is probably even higher than mine. 😭

#TransRightsReadathon book #1 The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill. The main character describes himself as "a time traveling existential crisis with gender feels" and it's maybe too on the nose. It's a stressful read because *he's* in so much stress, and I didn't feel that there was […]

#AmReading The In-Between Bookstore as my first book for the #TRR25 /#TransRightsReadathon. Realistic fiction with a time travel element and I think maybe a romance? Not quite what I expected but I approve. 😂 @bookstodon #bookstodon

I need somebody who is reading (or has read) WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS by Grady Hendrix to tell me what the "little black grains" Fern's doctor shakes out of a paper box and puts on his tongue are, because I'm listening to the audiobook and absolutely cannot parse that word. Sin-sin? […]

:heart_trans: 📚 Any good recs for the #TransRightsReadathon ? I like romance, memoir, graphic novels, YA, fantasy. Preferably nothing too angsty right now. 😬 I have KU until the end of the month. Also, any favorite places to donate for the readathon? @bookstodon #LGBTQBooks #bookstodon
