@ruebaldry.bsky.socialI’m used to seeing lost mittens on walls. But this pair of shoes on a fence goes a step further! I hope whoever lost them didn’t hurt their feet
@ruebaldry.bsky.socialI absolutely love Cottonopolis! Great for kids, but also a full and satisfying read for adults. Great queer hist fic!
@franmoldaschl.bsky.socialReposted by @ruebaldry.bsky.socialI last read this book when it came out and I still think about it periodically.

@chiitan.loveReposted by @ruebaldry.bsky.socialChiitan loves transgender people 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍
@ruebaldry.bsky.socialI was so busy having a brilliant time tonight at Beloved Books in Boroughbridge chatting to their book group, that I completely forgot to take any photos! Everyone was so lovely and it was great to listen to readers and answer their questions. A really enjoyable evening!
