#NYCC COME GET YOUR GAY BOOKS!

Hall 1B, Table WB-4, Writers Block - behind the JSA booth near Artists Alley 😘

Photo of my table at NYCC 2025. It has a lilac tablecloth with "AK Faulkner, Ravensword Press" in white on it.

On the table are many gay books, a shelf of more gay books, and a big neon sign which reads "GAY BOOKS"

I chose anthropology and sociology instead of pre-law for exactly these reasons.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

My fellow fat folk coming up: Please yourselves. Solely. There is nothing you can do to please the public/internet. Haters on you/your body don’t give a shit about your health, well being, or what “lifestyle” you promote. They’re sick, not you. Do and be whatever/however makes you happy. For you.

Invest in yourself as much as others. Stretch. Drink water. If something's off in your body, get it checked don't 'power through'. Find rituals and routines that support your health and goals. Wear/use the good (fill in blank). Don't waste resources on people who only take.
