So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

Major props to the San Diego community and especially the raza for coming out in numbers against ICE yesterday. This is probably the largest crowd I've seen assembled to protest a raid this year, and it caused the goons to cut their operation short. More communities need to do this.

Non-binary includes people who are masc-presenting, folks. So don't be so fucking shocked when someone who could pass as a cis man turns up to your "women and non-binary" events. Non-binary doesn't equal woman-lite.

"Nothing about us without us." When autistic people lead research into autism, they find things that the non-autistic researchers never even considered.

In “The Canary Code,” Dr. Ludmila Praslova uses a metaphor of canaries in coal mines to describe how marginalized ppl often notice harm before others. And when we listen to canaries, we hear early warnings about toxic systems and gain the opportunity to build workplaces where everyone can thrive.

It's no exaggeration that Trump could dismantle the entirety of trans healthcare worldwide by sanctioning WPATH or other LGBTQ rights orgs.

Updated this piece about how the Trump admin removed images of women and persons of color from websites. The good news is that the webpage about a NASA employee overcoming adversity was restored after she posted about it. The bad news? NASA then fired her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

"nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny" applies to my big fat hairy masc looking bear ass as much as it applies to nonbinary people with long hair and makeup and it is impossible to meaningfully liberate gendee marginalized people without confronting gender essentialism in the process
