It’s National Coming Out Day so lemme reshare and reiterate that I am Bea. I am a trans woman. And every day since telling you all has felt more real than the last. Into the wild pink yonder~

that’s craft

(from Terry Gross’s All I Did Was Ask — bookshop.org/p/books/all-... )

Excerpt from All I Did Was Ask by Terry Gross.

TG: Renfield is Dracula's assistant. He's in an insane asylum and he eats insects.
CAGE: Right. And it was a slow progression for my character, Peter Loew. First he's eating pistachios, then he's eating a cockroach, then he finally eats the dove.
Ultimately he bites a girl's neck, kills her, and drinks her blood. So it was this progressive building from pistachio to girl.
The cockroach was one of the steps in the disintegration of Peter Loew.
So I said, "I want to try eating a cock-roach." Everybody was like, "You've got to be crazy!" And I said, "Yeah, I-I know what you mean. I really don't like cockroaches myself." They wrangled up three New York cockroaches out of somebody's basement, and the day arrived where I had to do it. I saw the bug when I walked on the set. The legs were kicking. The antennas were going. It looked huge. I almost said, "Guys, I can't do it." I figured that it would be a cop-out, because I'd set

it up and made them wrangle for cockroaches for weeks.
I put the cockroach close to me. Every muscle in my body was saying, "Don't do it." The wings were going. And then I— I did it. And—I couldn't sleep for about three days. I couldn't eat. But well, I did it.
And there it is.
TG: Did you call a doctor first and ask if chewing a cockroach could kill you?
CAGE: Yeah. They said it would be okay.
What I did was I rinsed my mouth out with hundred-proof vodka and sterilized my mouth before I did it. And then when I spit the cockroach out, I sterilized my mouth again.
TG: What did it taste like?
CAGE: Oh, you know, I couldn't remem-ber. All I know is it was soft. It was not crunchy. It was soft. And it was—it was just a nightmare.

enshittification is a great book

Excerpt from Enshittification by Cory Doctorow:

You can't be tempted or forced to do something impossible. The instant Adobe moved its software to the cloud and eliminated the non-subscription versions of its apps, it put a gun on the mantelpiece. It was only a matter of time until someone opened fire on Adobe's customers with that gun.

If you have no other option, you should absolutely use bookshop over amazon or anything affiliated with them, but their bookseller affiliate program is the equivalent of getting a small monthly payout for a fraction of sales as opposed to the full amount

As your frequent bookseller friend, I will tell you that direct orders from a bookstore will always go farther than a bookshop dot org order, as much they are useful with their affiliate system. Your local bookstore likely can ship your book to you too, and get things bookshop won't/can't carry!

i hate being the buzzkill who's like "here's why i don't participate in the thing that's wrecking our planet / platforming nazis / directly funding an author who wants trans people dead" but like, it is kind of fucked up that all of that is happening
