On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Trans indie writers, if your books DIDN'T end up on any book lists or win any awards--post them in the replies and I will share them. You deserve exposure too.

Does anyone have recommendations for creature horror novels or short stories with no romance and no SA? Bonus if there's a bit of mystery thrown in. Feel free to recommend your own stories!

I have been working on a book very close to my heart for nearly ten years and it has now found a home at pressesrenaissancepress.ca ! It's an urban fantasy, YA adventure with a trans/nonbinary lead. I can't wait for you to meet him/her/them 😁 #WritingCommunity

Block is your friend! Block instead of engaging. Mute if you just want to see the person less.

Sent some letters to AB gov regarding their new anti-trans policies. Absolutely shameful that they are targeting a marginalized group of youth with such hate and harm. They are spreading misinformation and ignoring science and experts. Par for the course for the UCP.

Takes a lot to get an introvert out with people, but AB gov did it with their new anti-trans policies. I am disgusted, angry, & scared. Once they ram this through under the guise of 'protecting kids', they'll target adult trans peoples' rights, then they'll move onto abortion access. Use your voice!

I'm trying really hard to relax. It's not going well. I thought I'd try reading something new--anyone have horror recs where no pets die? (I prefer supernatural, even claustrophobic SF is good) On sale is a bonus because I am very poor.
