Okay, so I actually made a batch of muffins before midnight tonight, because I have to get up early in the morning tomorrow (today), but then I stayed up til 2 am making this list anyway.
I heartily recommend each and every one of these for your #TransRightsReadathon TBR.
Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!
FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and itβs my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

Dang it would be so cool if I could write my books without feeling like I'm in a race against death itself

The mystery of the bitten peach, a lesbian time travel romance mystery. By Cecilia Tan. βFull of queerness, generative solidarity, and gently profound insights into love and choice, Tanβs tale goes down smoothly but its wisdom lingers. Not to be missed.β βShelley Parker Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun
