I am so f-ing tired of the ongoing petty rivalry between BS & Fedi. Both places have pros & cons FFS, some the same & some unique to themselves.

Neither one is the fucking devil, nor an affront/threat to the other’s existence.

Don’t like it? Don’t use it.

Save the h8 for the real devils.👍

Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after… *gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.
The Three Sentence Review If it’s stressing you out, and you want to write a review, a helpful review can easily be made with three simple sentences: One: What you can expect from the book (without spoilers). “‘The Unwanted’ is a great young adult story where a young gay teen struggling with a bully learns he’s got bigger problems when his long-lost mother returns, reveals she’s an Amazon, and tells him he’s part of an important prophecy. Two: What was unique/awesome/moving/exciting about the book (again, no spoilers). “Taking Greek mythology and blending it with the real struggles of a gay teen is a delicate balance, and Jeffrey Ricker manages it with aplomb.” Three: Using a better-known author or a genre, which readers do you think would enjoy the book? “Any reader who loved Rick Riordan’s ‘The Lightning Thief’ should grab ‘The Unwanted.’” It doesn’t have to be an essay to be helpful, and you’d be surprised how much even a simple review does help an author.

Please note that this boycott is US specific, but you should also totally support your local independent coffee shop wherever in the world you happen to be, anyways.

Huge thread from Tyche Books, a Canadian publisher. Her authors are every day folks, with bills and rent and the physical requirement to eat every day.

Stealing the books she publishes is not a progressive act. It's not activism. It's not punk.

It's just stealing from people trying to live.

Some of my authors are on disability. Some struggle to pay monthly bills. Some are retired & on limited income. Some were laid off in the past couple years & have yet to find new work. Some would love to quit the day job & write full time, but don't earn enough from royalties to do that.

On the book piracy discourse going around today : stop arguing with authors & publishers about why you feel justified in pirating their works!

Regardless of your reasoning or rationale, trying to get them to validate it for you is thoughtless, tone-deaf, and (intentionally or not) cruel. Stop it.

AI is a tool of fascism.

Book promo post. Lilac coloured background with the words "Now Available". A 3D mock-up of a book sits opposite the text. The cover shows a home office, with built-in bookshelves full of books, plants, pictures, gift-wrapping supplies, and other knickknacks. On a small circular table sits a desk lamp with the light directed at an ornate, open jewelry box with its contents spilling out. A pearl necklace has broken and pearls have spilled over the table and onto the floor. On the floor, a black and white tuxedo cat wearing a hideous studded collar plays with ribbon and wrapping paper. Next to the cat is a stack of books and albums, on top of which is a gold, heart-shaped locket, which is broken in two. It matches a picture on the bookshelves, which is a pink broken heart. The colour tones of the cover are in soft pinks and lavendars. The title is No Love Lost in gradiated yellow, and the author is Jane Glatt. No Love Lost is part of the Wrap-It-Up Magic series.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Friends, this is a low hanging boycott action.

Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions.

You can help turn the tide and it will make other platforms think twice.

The working class has much more power than they think.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

“And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
motherjones.com Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 6d
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Just gonna add that I got it before it was on sale, and it would’ve been worth the money at double the price. It’s queer, it’s complex, it’s glorious. Get it for you, your trans, NB and gender-spicy pals, or hey…gift it to the pal you think might need their mind expanded or their closet warmed.
