hi, i’m Chloe! i write books! sometimes about queer autistic teens, sometimes about queer autistic 20 year old horrified they have to be adults. there’s usually monsters with too many teeth too. when not writing, i’m either contemplating how many plushies is too many or furthering the gay agenda.

wait what do you mean supernatural is 20 years old today

Keep writing that stupid book

A thread of BIPOC-owned, ethically sourced, craft chocolate makers. This in not a complete list, but just ones I've personally enjoyed and are fairly transparent about their cacao sources and fair payment to farmers. More will be added as I go. #craftchocolate 🍫

HOW IS IT AUGUST.

since i’m writing a book about bugs i’ve decided it’s my right to show everyone all the cool bug stuff i see.

There is no food in Gaza. Please share this and bear witness is nothing else. People are eating leaves to survive but everyone is suffering immensely. The children. The elderly. The new mothers. The husbands and sons and brothers getting shot at just to try to get “aid”. We have failed as humans.

sign up for my newsletter if you want to get some weekly book recs that are mildly unhinged because when i love a book i say the oddest things!!!!! karisrogerson.beehiiv.com/subscribe

There are so many amazing book and story recs in this thread. Please check them out, boost them, follow the authors! I’m glad the newest Worldcon mess led to this. I think it’s cool when we lift up the things we love instead of complaining that not everything is for us (hot take, I know).

Hey, this sucks and we hate it. If you're a writer who writes stories about queer women, please tell us where we can find your work. We want to read your stories. So many people want to read your stories! The world is better because of you, and there will never, ever be "too many" sapphic stories.

Does anyone know if there’s links to bails for protestors arrested in LA against the ICE cowards? I want to make sure that gets boosted

There are more of us than them. There are more of us to counter their fear mongering and hatred. And they do NOT get to try and take our communities or our state. If you haven't signed for a protest, start here: www.nokings.org

Especially if you *don't* live in Philly but live elsewhere in PA, contact your reps about this!

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D.@sarahmackattack.bsky.social · last yr.

To everyone in PA, I know there is a ridiculous amount going on right now BUT, please take a minute (a literal minute) to contact our state reps about funding septa. Transit is absolutely necessary for a functioning Philly, *and* for meeting climate goals. www.transitforallpa.org/takeaction/

proud of the protesters in LA. fuck this administration and the cruelty they constantly dole out.

Here's how you can support Los Angeles immigrant communities and protesters during these ICE raids and police crackdowns.
