I struggle to keep up with this app 😭

That said, it appears I have been neglecting my sacred duty to share new art that I've made in the last while.

ALLOW ME TO RECTIFY 😍

Hey, so apparently this app is suspending users who speak out against JKR.
JOANNE ROWLING IS ON THE RECORD AS AN OUT AND PROUD BIGOT. She actively funds hate groups.
@bsky.app @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app With respect - get your shit together.

It is easy to feel this way but I truly think, for trans writers at least, writing books now is urgent. Write good books about your friends, get them printed, get them widely distributed, get them in the world. There has never before been an opportunity like the one we currently possess to do this.

is there anything more pointless right now that writing a book? feels that way to me

Yes, writing about our people is necessary now. And, writing with trans eyes about how the not-trans world appears, functions, and signifies is vital vital vital now.
