Have you read my lunarpunk story about friendship and pteropods?
New -punk day!

Today we have a beautiful #lunarpunk piece by @devanbarlow.bsky.social about how good it is to heal and move on.

I did not mean for this story's message to resonate so well today, but here we are.

Read "Snail Night" only in HyphenPunk!

Snail Night
Through the lenses of her magnifying goggles, the pteropods swirled and spun in her vision in delightful clarity.

What's hilarisad is that Scouting America tried doing things the Republican way for as long as possible, and all it got them was falling enrollment numbers and a massive settlement for child sex abuse

If it's truly to fuck over the corporations, go drop the cost of that novel in an author's tip jar anonymously.

But we all know you won't do that.

So.

Request books from your library. Shit, I'd rather you ASK ME for one of my books outright than pirate it. Yes, I've sent copies this way.

It is the Lord's day, and you should celebrate by supporting trans authors!
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
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Who wants to beta-watch the "live read" of Boombride chapter one? It'll be up on Twitch in a few days where your can hang out with me while we watch myself put on some voices.

My wife said "you read the book better than i did to myself" and she's never wrong

Every day, I find myself aligning with Anno and Moore when it comes to their bitter relationships with multimedia corporations, and the limitations of art made under corporate environs and restrictions.
All seriousness-

That End of EVA was partially a psychosexual rebuke of this very exploitation of Anno's characters really does illustrate how little power creators can exercise in preventing studios from doing whatever the hell they want with their creations.

And I remember
all the things
we once shared

Watching TV
movies
on the living room

But they say it will work out fine

Was it all a waste of time

'Cause I knew, I knew
I'd lose you

You'll always be
