If you think people saying nice things to support a friend that's getting a lot of undeserved flack is "cult shit," I'm genuinely sorry for you. Like, legitimately, please try to find better spaces.

I'm sure I've missed something but I'm joining anyway, @benjanun.bsky.social is almost single-handedly responsible for the fact that A Quiet Universe got any traction at all, I'm a nobody from nowhere but she saw potential in my work and has promoted it ruthlessly to more success than I dared hope

bee is constantly helping trans women, materially. pushing fundraisers, helping publish books, promoting bundles, helping them flee to thailand. if you think it is weird that trans women who are only alive because of her don’t believe racist lies about her, that’s on you. fix your heart or die.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I wouldn't be alive and y'all wouldn't have my books without Bee. She's been there for me through everything while asking nothing of me in return. I'm proud to call her friend.

@benjanun.bsky.social has been helping me with publishing and other issues. She's so supportive and quick to offer ideas or walk me through things I'm lost on. She's helped so many trans women, including some of those dearest to me. She is a great friend and a tireless ally and I trust her deeply

There are many things that I am grateful to @benjanun.bsky.social for; covers, advice, support, etc, but I particularly want to thank her for encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone with A Rotten Girl. I was very doubtful of managing without robots, monsters or BDSM, but she reassured me.

Not exactly a relatable post, but urns for dog's ashes are very twee. I just want something sober and respectful. I don't want teddy bears and comic sans.

Y'all harassed one of the most important writers out there, a woman with profound insights that we desperately needed because...you didn't like how she responded when hounded and abused! Y'all make me sick. She deserves better than you.

You are capable of choosing to be normal about Talia Bhatt.

My new book, a transfeminine lesbian retelling of Persephone's myths is now available for pre-order across digital stores and on early access on itch. #sapphic #witchsky #booksky #queerart #booksky www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXWNB47W

I don't participate in discourse much; I'm too conflict-adverse for that. But just in case that causes anyone to mistake my position: I stand with Talia, Bee, and Aria. If you follow me and have decided that they are beyond the pale, the block button is right there.

I cannot express how thankful I am to @juliaserano.bsky.social for her kind words. A significant part of 'The Third Sex' builds on her work, and without her foundational contributions to transfeminism, we wouldn't be at this point today. I am honored by her support of my work.

When I had my medical kerfuffle, Monty was the only reason I survived. Using the phone was hard, and I'd couldn't remember what numbers looked like. I didn't fear death, at all, in that moment. But I was afraid that Monty would go without food or water, so I managed to call an ambulance.

Sad day today. My friend Monty is gone.

Reposting this in case anyone does not know how to send these e.pub books to their kindle: www.amazon.com/sendtokindle I had no idea I could take a book from itch and just drop it into my kindle!!

Finished reading *A Rotten Girl* by @jemma.bsky.social. It's both very funny and deeply uncomfortable. Loved every page of it. moniker-ersatz.itch.io/a-rotten-girl #BookSky

someone please get it back to .37 so that jemma can be in pain, she actually likes that!

Do not listen to the vile lies of the Integer Orthodoxy! Only in the Decimals can we find freedom! Join the Decimal Alliance today!

I didn't want to have to do this again, but can someone buy this bundle and tip 63 extra cents, please! (It's an excellent bundle; The Hades Calculus and a shitload of fanworks! itch.io/b/2877/monst...)

Cannot stress how much I enjoy this artist

Anemone does such a great job with monstergirls! The colours, the clever use of details; brilliant!

Going back to monstergirls, my beloved, my calling in life. I've been meaning to redesign this Chainverse OC for a while... xe is also paired with one by @michel0dy.bsky.social so who knows, maybe we'll draw xir mistress too.

I'm so excited to read this bundle!! For those that have already bought and read these stories, which one broke your heart and made you cry the most?

Wow, I can't believe that Mrs Silver is close to the bottom of this ranking! (Whisky and Licorice, SH: www.scribblehub.com/series/86441... or why not buy it and 12 other sicko lesbian stories here moniker-ersatz.itch.io/poison ?)

Invite her into your house. It'll be fine definitely. (art by @anemoneart.bsky.social)

Reminder: my latest book, A Rotten Girl, is out! A satirical drama about the publishing industry, queerness, and authenticity. But much funnier than that list suggests! People are saying nice things about it! Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM6MMF59 Others: jemmatopaz.carrd.co#rotten

If you want transfem lesbian romantasy, I think in many ways Flower of the Underworld by @ciricegray.bsky.social will have exactly what you want: a humble priestess, through devotion and courage, catches the attention of gods and pilots. Available as part of this bundle! itch.io/b/2877/monst...

We could use some help getting our car back, if anyone feels able to donate a little. Every bit helps! I appreciate you all so much 💖 www.gofundme.com/f/help-may-a...

Trans Magical Girl Novels! Honestly, it's kinda cool that this is a big enough genre space now that I had to pick and choose which to use, also that all six of these are pretty strikingly different in tone and content!

Had to map out where the various stories in my next interlinked collection fell on a timeline. I didn't do this properly for The Brute of Greengrave, and it was sheer luck that, when my girlfriend mapped it out, it actually worked! (Definitely two more stories to write, maybe more.)

So, I've put this off for a while (I've spent the better part of the last decade trying to not be deported so I'm very broke) but I desperately need FFS. This would be life changing and life saving for me. Any little bit helps me, so please consider helping out ❤️ gofund.me/306ebd2b
