I shared one post, and now my feed is completely filled with politics, and I don't know how to fix it! Can the queer bookish people help me out, please? ๐ญ

This is such a cute read! Absolutely adorable!
Thanks!
Just submitted my last final for my first semester of grad school!
This makes me proud to be from Montana.
I told the pet groomers who take care of my dogs that one of my pups passed away, and they sent us a card and a candle with his name on it ๐ญ

a promotional image for the scylla publishing anthology themed around goddesses and monsters. Picture shows an illustration of the Norse goddess HEL with the words Goddesses & Monsters, Sapphic Anthology, Submissions call coming soon!
We have started working on launching a new anthology with the amazing @faerywhimsy.bsky.social! Our newsletter subscribers got more info earlier this week, but we will release more details-including the real anthology title!-when we launch on April 14th!
I have a book coming out next year about an ace/bi girl going on a road trip to meet her online friends!
A reader reached out to me and said Insanely Sane really resonated with them, and they want their teenager who's struggling to read it. ๐
That's who it's for. Those who need to know we aren't alone, it's okay to not be okay, and that there is still hope for us, even when we feel like there's not.
AU$ 522 to go before the stretch goal where each story gets fancy headers!
29 hours left!
Also, it's almost International Asexuality Day, so, you know, support an aspec anthology. โบ๏ธ

Yup, itโs official. Weโre a bunch of overachievers.
Last year we had 24 hours of advocacy, celebration, education and solidarity. A stream lasting a whole day, across borders, timezones and countries.
The last time I held any of my newly published work was 3 years ago.
Until TODAY!

Image is a collage with text tape over the top that reads 'What Wakwaks Want' Images are: black feathers, the shadow of a clawed hand on a wall, a birds talons on a mossy rock, a skull half buried in dirt and sticks, a crescent moon, an egg in a nest, the joint of a bat wing, piles of salt and an overturned salt shaker, a skeletal hand reaching out from the dark

'What Wakwaks Want: Halve Your Child and Eat It Too' by Ell Huang
Ritual-obsessed, young apothisexual Mayumi summons an asexual aswang, envious of its ability to split in half at the torso and grow wings...less envious of its appetite for fetuses and drive for asexual reproduction
Hi, I'm Jazz (like the music), and I'm currently working on a story about a clueless descendant of Vivian (Vespera) cursed by a descendant of Merlin (Moira). Both of them are steadfastly ignoring their mutual attraction while searching for a book or something.
Image has the Phenomena Press logo (a stylised P) and the following text Official Statement The Phenomena Press team is saddened to hear about the heist of 12 tons of KitKat chocolate If any supernatural beings, KitKat addicted ghost hunters, or other cryptids were near that location it is purely coincidental However we CAN confirm that we have a fully funded Kickstarter for our first anthology AND that our stretch goals are โจ๏ธPhenomenalโจ๏ธ
The image has the mock 'Phantasms & Phenomena' cover and the text 'If you are curious about what some ace cryptids have been up to... 'Phantasms & Phenomena' is live on Kickstarter now!'
In other news, our team is stocked for snacks for a WHILE
It's #ChaosPit time! Let's go Dragon #WIP (Part One)
