Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil by #VESchwab

Absolute perfection as always! How is it that in just a few short lines I am so deeply immersed in a book? Schwab’s writing is like musical magic - woven to pull you deep within a dream of a story 😍

Are you cis and mad about Trump's attacks on trans people last night at the State of the Union? You can yell about it online and accomplish nothing, or you can financially support trans creators, donate to trans mutual aid funds, and tell your friends to do the same.

Time for a bit of reality - a thread.

Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills.

The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter.

Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.

@bryonypearce.bsky.social #Aphrodite published by @uclanpublishing.bsky.social is now available to preorder from Amazon & I suggest you get right on that because I’ve read it & it kicked off my most fab reading month in YEARS!
Here’s the link: amzn.eu/d/9mc0n89 trust me it is truly brilliant!!

I have things in in the background because I can’t concentrate in silence 🤣 apparently that’s weird but it’s true. The last one has been Jeepers Creepers 2 - the screaming really helps my concentration 🤷🏽‍♀️

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread
