I am going to be annoying and boost this gofundme until the funeral next week even though every time I do I am gutted because I have to see the only father I have ever known face and know that he is gone.

My end goal is to raise $5,000! This will give our family a much needed cushion until my stepdad's Army pension kicks in.
Thank you so much to people who have already donated! β€οΈ if you haven't yet please consider donating and if you can't share this!
Sending my condolences to you and your family.

If you know more trans mutual aid funds for trans Kansas residents please let me know and I'll do my best to boost as much as possible.
The name of the game today is community care.
Dear Georgina, I hope this finds you well. Iβve been reviewing a number of independent titles that are gaining meaningful digital momentum, and your book stood out during that process. In my role within digital advertising at HarperCollins Publishers, part of what I focus on is identifying titles that may be under-leveraged in the audiobook market. Audio is no longer just a supplementary format, on platforms like Audible, it often becomes the discovery engine that drives visibility across formats. Yet many strong titles arenβt fully optimized for that environment. Before I go further, I wanted to ask, do you currently have an audiobook edition available? If you do, where is it being distributed? And if not, is audio something youβve considered pursuing in the near term? Depending on where things stand, there may be a worthwhile positioning conversation to have. If youβre open to it, Iβd be glad to continue. Best regards Crystal Lee McRedmond

Same. So far Iβve found two AI artists. One of the βartistsβ has a public Instagram with AI generated music in their bio.

Dark Romance Stuff Your Kindle. - Splinter by Jasper Hyde Free (Feb 13-15)
I kinda forgot to tell you that Splintet is free right now! drtstuffyourkindle.com
This whole situation has convinced me that folks who claim to be allies have terms and conditions when it comes to their allyship.
Itβs not too late

As a dark romance writer and reader we often judged to be sexual deviants, perverts, and abuse apologists. But I would like to remind you that it was Dark Romance readers (her ARC readers to be exact) who reported her to the authorities. π§΅
You should be reading books by queer men if you are reading m/m romance. You should be intentionally be reading diversely when it comes to both BIPOC and trans authors.
When we tell you not to read something because its problematic or because their money is going to organizations that is eroding our civil rights is not us playing the book police.
If I want a mechanical voice to read to me, I could just buy the epub files and shove them through my TTS reader. HUMAN VOICES ONLY!
Have a promotional exam for work today. I did a little last minute reviewing last night but I made sure to get some good sleep last night to be fresh for the exam.
Technically I was more into film but I have a masters degree in engagement journalism.
I did a complete career change from film/journalism to the tech support field.
chaninicholas 1h Threads HEATED RIVALRY is written by a (queer?) woman. It's sapphic (as elaziee on TT pointed out) and that's why it's filled w smut and wholesomeness. That's why it is seeped in horniness and care. Thats why there is possibility at the end. And parenting the whole way through. And friendship at every turn. The patriarchal imagination could never. 1/2
I wanted to make sure I get all of my thoughts together before I talk about this post. First and foremost, as a QUEER MAN who writes sapphic romance? This is not the definition of sapphic romance.
TW: Domestic Abuse
Apparently, Tennessee has a new domestic abuse registry, and cis men are freaking the fuck out. As a person who has front row seats to my mother's domestic abuse? Let me tell you? This needs to be a thing in all 50 states.
Make abusers terrified.
*tap the mic* Re-reads should count towards your annual book goals.
The moment someone says Forex to me? I am gone. I don't want none of that.
Before I turned 30 I realized that having your life fully figured out by 30 was a lie. I found my career in my late 20s and Iβm hitting my stride now at 33.
Every time I bring up Black capitalism, especially when it comes to our favorite entertainers becoming billionaires, people accuse me of hating successful Black women.
You can be a successful Black woman and not be a billionaire. But you can't be a billionaire without exploitation.
The more you know: Confetti Engineers is an actual career. Apparently all the confetti for the NYE ball drop is dropped by hand by confetti engineers.
