My Newbery-honor book, A Snake Falls to Earth, has been challenged…but not because of its contents. From the link below: “Despite the book’s lack of sexual content, violence, or vulgar language, it became a target due to the author, Darcie Little Badger, identifying as asexual.” Bruh. What a world.

No time like #Pride to join a new queer magical adventure! The Chronicles of Nerezia is my heartfelt love letter to JRPGs, with a fun crew and an episodic buildup through the land <3 More info: claudiearseneault.com/nerezia/ Buy on Itch: claudiearseneault.itch.io/awakenings-t... 🌈📚

From a well-known book: Ahro from The Vanished Birds From a yet-to-be-published work (not mine): Pyrrha from @charliearlet.bsky.social's upcoming novel In Interim From my own work: Admé from a personal story called Transitional Traversal #PrideBookFair

June 12th is Pulse Remembrance Day. Today we remember the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.

Three books I enjoyed this year that I feel could use more love imo: Ace and Aro Journeys, Fat and Queer: An Anthology of Queer and Trans Bodies and Lives, and The Heartbreak Bakery #PrideBookFair

Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex—one of its last hospitals—is under IOF assault: tanks at gates, shelling perimeter. We demand @Keir_Starmer @MarkJCarney @EmmanuelMacron PROTECT hospitals, SUSPEND arms, OPEN aid, BROKER ceasefire. Send letter 👉 buff.ly/aR4azp4 #AllEyesOnNasser

Always up for reading and writing more: ace & aro rep, t4t relationships, found family, and trans & nonbinary folks being mediocre/just living their life ✏️ #PrideBookFair

hey could you do me a favor??? if you're a so-called "artist ally" could you NOT boost / share people who post ai garbage? @aimod.social literally labels all that crap, including profiles, you have no excuse if i catch you sharing this shit on my feed you are getting sent to the shadow realm 😡😡😡😡😡

Ace and Aro Journeys by The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project was a fantastic read, especially as someone who's still finding their footing in the ace community. Taught me a lot, and reading about aro identities and experiences (which often get overshadowed imo) was wonderful to see. 💜💚 #PrideBookFair

And we are live on KS - www.kickstarter.com/projects/526... - The “Mmeory” anthology is launched with a theme of memory manipulation - magic spells, cyborg memory edits, very unreliable narrators, time travel gone wrong. Help us bring this book to life. #sff #fantasy #book #ks #booksky

The land convoy has begun its journey; personal vehicles and buses will try to break the illegal blockade on Gaza.

Idk if I'm doing this right ahah but these prompts look fun! I plan on reading Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee this month. And I'm currently writing a short story about a sad nonbinary lightship worker (like a lighthouse keeper!) who accidentally(?) creates a clone of themselves. #PrideBookFair

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

I'm really struggling financially. I need help. With having my apartment fumigated again, medical appts dental & spinal bifida related. i'm sinking. pls help. My lyft rides i've had to take have been between $30-$50. venmo: @ Andrea-Lausell Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/senoraandreita

A lot of aspiring authors I talk to are worried that their ideas are too much like someone else's, but the truth is that everyone writes their own stories, and the similarities are what helps us find one another.

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

doing art for the sake of doing art is good for the soul and you should be doing it regardless of how much practice you've put in

🌈 Get Your Claudie Starter Pack! 🌈 When #PrideMonth rolls around, I make a small bundle of my queer sff books to help you explore my catalogue and find the series you want <3 Get your platonic-focused queer fantasy! All at 50% on itch itch.io/s/153148/cla...

more than a small, vocal number of star wars fanatics ime, so many people accepted the mythopoetic logic of ESB as gospel & applicable to daily life. i think one of the biggest, most effective & affective things andor did was repositioning “try” as one of the noblest things real people can do. try

I'm just saying, maybe we should get the Aro Books for Pride Bundle to $2000 soon 👀 itch.io/b/3058/aro-b...

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

We’d love to see some new TTRPGs come out of this call! itch.io/jam/the-mapl...

reminder, bsky has a clever way to display pronouns that's built in! but you only see them if you yourself opt in, so please feel free to here by subscribing and then choosing which applies!! @pronouns.diy

Happy Pride Month to everyone else who is also chronically ill and high risk and unable to participate in Pride Month festivities because folks won't mask. I see you. Your love is still valid. And to everyone else who can safely attend events this month, please mask up.

It’s Pride month and feels ok to post my ko-fi so I can purchase textbooks for class starting this week. :D Help a trans guy out with tech education! I’m studying networking. ☺️ ko-fi.com/gnomedic

Happy Pride 🌈💖 Being unapologetically ourselves is one of the most radical things you can do as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. For all you cis het people, we don’t need allies. We need accomplices. We need people who will actually aid us, support and have our backs, because we are in danger.
