Hi doll babies! 💕
I'm Jack Harbon (she/they)! I'm a nonbinary transfem author writing everything from romance to erotica to horror—or sometimes a mix! MM primarily, but I do dabble in MF. You can find all of my books on my site/Amazon! 💖 #booksky

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Is there a more succinct way to tell readers, "You can recommend me for OwnVoices MM, but with an asterisk that I'm transfem and use she/they"?

My books *are* OV. The 27 years I had in my old shoes doesn't mean I didn't wear them. I haven't thrown them away just because they don't fit anymore.

Girl...so it's the same conversation they were having when I was 14 and in adult spaces when I shouldn't have been. So annoying. Thank you for explaining though!!

Someone explain the Kinktober drama to me real quick? I'm seeing people say "Minors are allowed to be weirded out by the prompts." and I'm wondering why we're talking about IRL minors at all when discussing kink. Who gives a fuck what they think about an adult event? #kinktober

The way HRT gave me HS. My poor belly got a PC mouse-sized flare up. Fuck my fat chungus life.

Thank youuuu! I need to lock in and write the pattern for him!

Look at him! Look! Look at him real quick! #crochet #amigurumi

"Hey, I just met you..."

Femme fatale smiling at her objection of obsession with a glint in her eyes.

"And this is crazy..."

Montage of stalker fighting.

"And this is crazy..."

Yelling, slashing.

"And this is—"

Stalker: "We're meant to be together!!!"

"...So call me, maybe."

If you made a horror movie, what extremely upbeat pop song would you want slowed down and creepified to play in the trailer?

How preciousssss!!

🎀 Jack 🎀 @jackharbonbooks.bsky.social · 16d

I'm still gonna be writing. Writing is how I process everything I'm feeling, and I feel so much. So I'm not going anywhere, apologies to the 3 bitches that can't stand me, mwah. But I'll just be Brynn. Just Brynn 🩷

🎀 Jack 🎀 @jackharbonbooks.bsky.social · 16d

I don't think it makes sense to wear the same costume I wore when I was a 16yo boy, terrified of being seen for who I really was.

I think it's time to let that go. Let him go, them go, whoever Jack became, just go.

So, I'm sad, because I was Jack's biggest fan, but the idea of never having to be Jack again... Never forcing myself to be uncomfortable for my writing career... I want THAT.

Jack was my safety blanket and my mask when I wanted to seem confident, but I've outgrown it.

🎀 Jack 🎀 @jackharbonbooks.bsky.social · 16d

And I don't think I can go back to that. I know how sad it all made me. It ruined my interest in writing the moment it stopped being my special interest and became the way I afforded the medication to keep me from taking my chess piece off the board.

Podcasts I felt sick for days before. Interviews that made me hate myself. Turning down convention after convention. Only ever, truly feeling like I wasn't stupid when I made my little threads on Twitter because I hate how inarticulate I am verbally. But I did it with Jack.

🎀 Jack 🎀 @jackharbonbooks.bsky.social · 16d

So, I've stopped trying to get that back. There's no putting my mask back on. I had to peel it off of me in 2022 to avoid being hospitalized with a goddamn mental breakdown, and Jack was a part of that mask.

I lost it all at the biggest point in my career, and girl... I mourned it. Often inconsolable in my self-hatred.

I had so much potential, so much ahead of me. But I hear that's commonplace for the neurodivergent.

A man didn't write that, I did. In a way, I'm sad, because I'm very loyal. When I'm with something or someone, I'm with it. And I was with Jack. 14 years. But after learning I was autistic and burning out in 2021, I've come to watch the steam for me fizzle out.

The questioning came in 2018, and the answer was in 2022. I've now been openly trans online for 3 years, but I still have this name. I don't mind still being called "he" in reviews because Jack feels like a he to me. But I see things like, "A man wrote this!" and it's a prickle over my body.

Jack was 2011, scared to publish MM and writing under a pen name so no one would ever find out he was gay. Then he was out to everyone in his real life, and so the face reveal came in 2017.

🎀 Jack 🎀 @jackharbonbooks.bsky.social · 16d

Gonna be honest, I think after I finish this last novel of mine, I might be done with Jack. I've let go of so much of my past identity, and I feel like I'm dragging who this name once was still with me after all this time.

Hi dolls! I'm 🙏🏼 *finally* 🙏🏼 leaving my apartment and my toxic roommate this weekend, but he's taking all the household necessities. I would really appreciate any help getting back on my feet, a few cheap pots/pans, dishes, groceries, etc. Literally anything helps 💕 #transmutualaid #aidrequest
