You can buy any book you are looking for on the internet. But we need physical, independent bookshops because that is where you discover the books you were not looking for, and never knew you needed.

This thread is one year old today, and, unfortunately, it is even more important to be reading and preserving trans stories than when it started. I truly thank everyone who has contributed to it, everyone who has kept sharing it, and everyone who has made a point to buy books from these authors. 🧵

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

The Hugo awards are now open for nomination. If you have nominating privileges and have read/liked/loved Watermyth, it is eligible to be nominated in the novel category. I am however not eligible for the Astounding as my eligibility period (then known as the Campbell’s) was 2015-2016. #Booksky

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

BLOODPATHS traces the lineage of womanhood as it moves through the veins. From mother to daughter unending, we are pulled to the water, held to our bleeding, called to the waves. Browne wades into these waters to trouble them. Gently. Compassion & sisterhood wash over the rage.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! What began as a simple reading list of forthcoming Black transfemme novels blossomed into a full critique of White supremacist publishing, Black literary erasure, and the supplementarity of the Black transfemme body as text 🖤
