The Substance was everything I thought it would be and more.
The beautiful and gross imagery. The minimalistic elements. The goofiness and the gore.
What a great fucking time. 💕

Trans literature (especially indie) is transgressing artificial limits many won’t even acknowledge exist and will inspire, thrill, or maybe reflect something back at you. You really owe it to yourself to read these wonderful authors.
It's a bad time for trans people now, and it's a bad time for trans literature

One handy list for all these queer books. Sweet!
Now seems like a great time to reshare my LGBTQIA+ masterlist. 3,200+ books with a queer MC, that you can filter and search by multiple preferences, such as genre, target age group, representation, pairing, and additional tags like "dragons" #booksky

Being a writer is almost entirely about perseverance. Life is going to continuously try to keep you from writing or from getting published or from getting things made, and you just have to get in life's way and say “No.”

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

I’ve repeated this to myself many times since reading it. Extremely valuable advice.
You can never be wholesome enough to satisfy a bigot, so don't cut off pieces of yourself to fit the shape of their artificial box. They'll just shrink it after you do and demand you keep cutting.
I think we need "the good the bad and the ugly" of queer stories because that's the real representation when all kinds of shit have space to exist.
Because that's how it is with cishet stories.
Perfectly "wholesome" and polished "queer rep" is in fact an artificial vitrine, not real culture.
