with the holidays upon us, it's a good time to remember that every one of us is one 'what you're saying is misinformed and hateful and i won't have my children exposed to it' away from turning the arc of history to the good

kith is genuinely one of the most lovely publishers I've ever worked with - full support from the press as well as yr fellow authors on the roster (made several friends that way :)) also, if you've got some unabashedly trans/queer words you wanna share with the world, kith is a perfect home ^u^

this is a bit of a cheat because reading trans poetry is my actual job but I read, and publish, a lot of trans poetry and have done for years. cost can be prohibitive but a lot of small presses (including ours!) hand eBooks out like candy to any who ask. push comes to shove, we want to be read.

Alright y'all - this starts in less than 24 hours! When we say "protect trans kids", this is a super practical way to do it - helping a trans kid escape the US will change her life. Plus look at all the amazing people joining! Come hang out and consider helping if you can! Reshares are helpful, too!

You procrastinate, and then you write the fucking paper the way the gods and nature intended. Several hours before it's due, high off either caffeine, nicotine, sugar, drugs, and PANIC. Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you. You people couldn't hang with real slackers. finn wokeupchic • 4d It's fuck Al till your homework due in 25 minutes

I wrote this when I was struggling with my gender identity and it may or may not have been written mostly in one shot during a manic episode.

Shane just wants to go home. Stranded in L.A., he must somehow make it back to Georgia. As he hitchhikes his way across America, he encounters transphobia, crooked cops, swindlers, kindly folks, drugs, tragedy, and a high speed chase. Only 99 cents! ko-fi.com/s/781b0b9855

I’m running out of steam trying to promote this. Just got to hack it, much like Shane must hack it as he hitchhikes across America trying to get home. If you are a fan of grit lit, might I make you an offering in this trying time?

this is SO good! lucky enough to get to blurb this story & for the price of a Big Gulp, you get to read a wonderful hit of exquisite heartbreak. What's not to like? :D

Eternal thanks to @clemflowers.bsky.social for this lovely blurb for Outrun the Devil, coming October 1st! (check the alt text if the graphic is too hard to read)

Wrapped in vivid hues of red desert sands, honeysuckle blues, & shimmering, sprawling asphalt, Ly Faulk has in Outrun the Devil the exhibition of heated pain & hope that wracks a lonesome heart with desperation. Faulk uses plainspoken prose to lay out a lush pastoral on all the aches & agonies one will go to for just another rose-tinted taste of Home. Outrun the Devil leaves awash in wistful memories, while wanting even. And when has that ever been a bad thing? - clem flowers author of “make the lights work for you” & “KUDZU”
