"Let it be known Homosexuals are not cowards." - Willem Arondeus

Willem Arondeus was a homosexual Dutch artist, author and anti-Nazi fighter, who bombed the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the identification of Jews by the Nazis. He was arrested within a week and later executed. His last words were, "Let it be known Homosexuals are not cowards."

I am always surprised by international lesbian day lol

I'm Makana! I'm a mixed race nonbinary lesbian who writes science fiction full of mixed race nonbinary lesbians! my debut cyberpunk space heist novel HAMMAJANG LUCK is out now, and it's standalone sequel THE OBAKE CODE will be out Feb 17th!

trope graphic for the obake code but oops it's all lesbians. the cover is in the center of the graphic, showing malia, a black woman in a white shirt, black pants, black boots, and her long hair in green dip-dyed locs. she is looking up at a futuristic sky, with skyscrapers with pink and purple windows and a flying car whizzing overhead. the cover is on a background of the lesbian flag in spattered paint. the arrows read "lesbians," "so many lesbians," "butch lesbians," "chapstick lesbians," "femme lesbians," "aro/ace lesbians," "lesbians of color," "indigenous lesbians," "black lesbians," "they/them lesbians," and "he/him lesbians."

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵

First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.)
