Delighted to be published in Issue 9 of @extrateethmag.bsky.social! Come to the launch at @portybooks.bsky.social 04/06! I'll be reading my story "Washed Up" where a desperate cockler unearths something terrible from the sand! Copies available to pre-order at: www.extrateeth.co.uk/shop/issuenine

Incredibly excited to be a part of this! 🖤 In my short story, you'll find complicated teenage girlhood, the cult of celebrity and a lot of broken glass.

Hey I don't know if anyone's ever said this before, but, writing a novel... is kind of difficult.

ive always thought of my life as a creative project im always kinda tinkering with. i am the artist, the project is making my life beautiful and happy, and that helps a lot when i feel stuck or bored.

Everything is shit, but I made some porcelain tile cookies🌀

As part of this auction for trans rights I'm selling off handwritten copy of my poem Jesus At The Gay Bar. I promise to use nice paper and a fountain pen and my best handwriting and everything. www.32auctions.com/organization...

My Corporeal Form has been achy and painful today but I've been reading Meat Market by @junodawson.bsky.social and it's given me some much-needed distraction. Fantastic and important book. I'm gonna be so sad when I've read all of her books and have to wait for more of them.

Happy Indie bookstore day! Love to all the indie bookstores and book sellers who support writers and the community. Indie bookstores you've been there for me and I'm gonna always be there for you. 🖤🔥 Go buy books from them today, mine or other people's. bookshop.org

If you're in the DC area, Little District Books is a lovely independent shop stuffed to bursting with queer books of all genres 🌈 absolutely worth stopping in today* for Independent Bookstore Day and beyond! *you know, when they open in a few hours 😄

Love, love, love seeing my books being bought from independent book stores!! 🖤 Little District Books in DC, let's get them on Blue Sky, stat!

Ventured out to Little District Books this afternoon and came away with some exciting queer horror. I could've happily sat in there until closing time exploring all the titles. 🖤

I've been thinking for a while now that trans people and disabled/chronically ill people have a lot of common ground. Our bodies are constantly debated and othered. Our experiences are questioned. We are told that we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do. Solidarity is vital.

when the law says you cannot exist, the truest and best weapon at your disposal is to defy it and survive regardless. In the face of meaningless cruelty, defiance is all there is, really. For as long as it takes.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

Did you say *medical gothic*??! Sign me up!!

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen
