Inspired, I created a storygraph challenge to read 26 new authors this year. As a trans author myself, I set only two rules: the authors must be transmasc or queer men, and they must write romance.

Join the challenge and add your own recommendations!

itchio pulling the rug out from so many queer creators overnight with no warning or explanation makes me ache all over. it’s so deeply fucked. watching this shit happen again and again is so fucking exhausting and disheartening and makes it so much harder to keep creating.

"no sex scenes unless it serves the plot" the plot is I want to see them fuck nasty and that's actually legal

I'm seeing several people I like go "don't be mad at itch.io, they're a smol widdle company and had no choice"

And RESPECTFULLY fuck that.

How many times is this gonna happen? How many sites are going to position themselves as the alternative only to fold without a fight? This anger is WARRANTED.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

All you need to do is type in the username followed by “.itch.io”
I’m pretty sure these are all queer and most are trans! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

If you're worrying about supporting Amazon today or ever, a lot of trans authors are starting stores on Itchio.
I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.
One thing I absolutely love about itch.io is that it lets me pay more

No, seriously! I love putting in some extra, knowing that it’s going to an indie creator

YES!! Stop defiling the name of one of the most civic-minded scientists!! Tesla wanted to make electricity a free public good and had real plans to do so, of course stopped by:

“Ignorant, unimaginative people, consumed by self-interest”

Nikola Tesla dreamed of free electricity; what happened?
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if electricity was free? Tesla is the well-known trademark of entrepreneur extraordinaire Elon Musk

Okay so yesterday I left a review on a book I really enjoyed, and when reading some other reviews someone said "it reads like #ao3 ff" as if that's a bad thing??? I honestly expected a 5 star review with a phrase like that, but apparently some people don't have any damn taste.
