These far-right fucks aren't unstoppable. They are human, just like us. I know for a fact that a large part of the far-rights organizing strategy is making people think their plans are inevitable. This an example that when you apply pressure to the right spot, their deluded worldview falls apart

💘 IT’S OFFICIAL: I AM NOW AGENTED by @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social of @madwomanliterary.bsky.social !!! CUPID ended up being the little weird, queer book that could, after helping me get not one but TWO offers of Rep 😰 (one of THEE hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make btw) I’m super duper BEYOND—

Traveling for book events as a disabled person is such emotional whiplash. Airport days are so dehumanizing, then I get to be around authors and books I love and readers who love mine, but in order to get home I go right back to being dehumanized/ disrespected at the fucking airport. I’m so tired

How many of my friends can I mention in one interview? Head over to Geeks Out and find out! I also talk about my cat, never giving up, queer characters, and why I love fantasy, so I hope you give the whole article a read. ☺️ www.geeksout.org/2025/02/12/i...

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Just bought this book from @sonorareyes.bsky.social ! Did you guys know they dropped a new novel? :D I'm so excited for this one--it's fake dating to the max. (Also that name: The Broprosal. LOL. Right up my alley!) Can't wait to dive in!! Have you read this book? 👀

I feel like conventional beauty standards make people self conscious about the most gorgeous parts of themselves. Since in case you need to hear it, I present to you a thread of unconventional traits I personally find extremely lovely 🧵

I'll be honest, releasing The Broposal in a time like this without my biggest cheerleader has been rough. I've always been pretty insecure about this book for personal reasons, but Ana was the one who encouraged me to keep going. Thank you, Ana. I wouldn't have done this without you. Rest well 💜

Thinking again today of @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social’s piece on monsters and cowards. I learned while researching concentration camps that though plenty of monsters exist, far more people are cowards. And cowards can be prodded. Cowards can be moved. Call your representatives about what’s happening.

My YA debut, DEATH IN THE CARDS (out May 13) is now the first in a series, and I've sold the sequel, MURDER UNDER THE FULL MOON (out Fall 2026) 🔥🌕💀 Shout out to @michitrota.bsky.social for introducing me to the world of firespinning & helping w/ my research. You're the best! 😘

I'm coming to LA!!! Can't wait to chat with @eraofemma.bsky.social at The Ripped Bodice on Friday! If you're in the area and want a signed copy of The Broposal or to just say hi, grab a ticket and come hang out! See you Friday at 7pm!

This Friday!! I’m so excited to celebrate @sonorareyes.bsky.social's fantastic THE BROPOSAL at The Ripped Bodice!! If you’re in the SoCal area, come join us at 7pm this Friday 1/31! And if you’re not in SoCal, and you haven’t already, what are you waiting for, go pick up THE BROPOSAL!

TONIGHT!! (Ignore my typo the event is tonight I promise!)

#BlackHistoryMonth is in a few days, and I want to boost #Blacksky bookish creators! First things first, I want you to go to the starter pack I linked below and follow ALL. Next, if you identify as a Black person & you post about books, please comment or DM me (more below) go.bsky.app/DzUqvPt

Two best friends/roommates pretend to pretend to be in love all while only managing to fool themselves. The Broposal, out now 😎 (Yes I meant to say pretend twice, they are already in love just in denial lol)

Sharing a resource from NAKASEC, a progressive Korean American org. They made a Know Your Rights app, available in 16 languages, including Spanish & many Asian languages. It can read your rights out loud & message an emergency contact. Available for iPhone. I hear an Android version is in the works

People are gonna nitpick this, but it's good advice. Don't let your in-house lawyers cow you into throwing away programs that work. There's always a way to do the right thing.

See also, publishing pretending to give a fuck about marginalized voices in the wake of 2019/2020 and then putting those books out without any support and promptly dropping the authors because of poor sales.

thinking book bans are simply about books is an incredibly shallow view of them. book bans threaten our culture, knowledge, history, identity, safety, and free speech. not only that but its a threat to literacy and literacy is critical to educating ourselves so we can fight back

Exciting news! The event for The Broposal at Bookshop Santa Cruz is now officially co-sponsored by Santa Cruz Pride! If you're in the area on Monday, January 31, I'd love to see you!
