I read such great lqbtqia+ books last month 🤗 … it was a real pleasure.

Also heavy on the animals this time: 2 dogs on the covers, 1 lion shifter, 1 fox paw print. And I just started a book on fox shifters today ❤️.

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Overwhelmed by tomes and doorstoppers? I wrote a MMF romantasy novella for people with extremely short attention spans. It also for people who’d enjoy one brown FMC, one brown MMC, and a subby token white guy. 😂 Check out Frostburn for $2.99.

Had therapy today which largely consisted of me grieving the harm and cruelty that being visited on the most vulnerable of us, and my sense of powerlessness in the face of it. Then I took that energy and channelled it into the first in a new set of images centered on mutual aid, and communal care.

Edit of the "You will certainly not regret eating thirty to fifty olives!" meme. The photo of olives has been replaced by cover art for eight queer romance ebooks by Sebastian Nothwell. The meme now reads: "Off work late? Bored, but too tired to decide? Try backing A Nest Within Briars on Kickstarter to get eight ebooks at once. Eight ebooks for ten dollars. You will not have to choose which book to get because you will have all of them. Gay. You will certainly not regret backing A Nest Within Briars on Kickstarter."

10 New Sapphic Books You Need to Read from February 2026 The monthly post where I collect the most exciting sapphic releases from the last few weeks.

February is the shortest month so it makes sense that it would sit between two months with strong sapphic releases (if you weren’t looking forward to March already, this is your sign). But with several strong romance/speculative releases, this February wasn’t slacking in content either. 🌈📚
