A new Clem & West novel just dropped yesterday, and I am frothing at the mouth. If you're into cosmic horror and secondary-world modern fantasy, you HAVE to check out this sapphic fantasy series by Hiyodori. It's easily my favorite thing on the market right now. I need more people to understand!

*throwing oil onto the fire* you people only ever fight for the right to use the word sapphic on relationships and stories that include a cis man because you know that would be transphobic and misgendering to do that to a trans man
Anyway, can we start a recommendation list of media with butch trans women? As a big reader of trans lesbian lit I've found some (not enough, but some), and I think it's important to highlight the good as well as complain about the bad. I'll start, but please do feel free to add on! #samreads
Hey everyone, I hate to ask for help again, but I think we're really going to need it. My mental illness has made it hard to earn anything for the past couple months, and we barely have enough for this month. Everything helps! Thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/help-may-a...
Taylor Swift fans review bombing a trans sapphic book by a trans woman: more likely than you think. Fuck this conservative singer and her equally bigoted fans
Well, time for some pretty big news. Wolffie is moving to Canada and going back to school. But I really need your help to make it happen. You can read more about my upcoming move here: www.patreon.com/posts/137119... And you can contribute to my GoFundMe here: www.gofundme.com/f/help-autum...
Last day for this sale! Pick up some sapphic books for Sapphic September!
Out of the ashes of itchio, I have built my own independent shop for direct sales of my books! riengray.shop is now live, and all titles are 50% off, so get a stack of lesbian and trans romances with blood and heat to spare while you can 🔥🩸💘 #BookSky #Lesbian #Romancelandia
anyway, read my trans magical girl novel (and its upcoming sequel). I hate AI and my girls and I are always in favor of loudly opposing transphobic bigots magicariot.com

People on Threads seem very unhappy about the concept of stealth trans men who do not disclose their transness
Threads is truly the social media with the worst reading comprehension
Plan A: Spend the summer at camp hiding from your influencer mother. Plan B: Accidentally break your arm and then blackmail your grumpy skater crush into letting you hide at her house all summer. YOU CAN PREORDER SUMMER OFFICIAL NOW! 🛹🩵🍦 rebekahweatherspoon.... #booksky #romancebooksky
As a reader/reviewer I find it pretty gauche and unappealing when authors devalue themselves and look down their own works but as an author I really feel the pressure to do it so no one set their expectations too high
I desperately need to go to sleep, but please spread this far and wide. Itch.io may not be as big of a platform as Steam, but this is a significantly more aggressive act of censorship. They're using the queer marginalized artists as test cases to see what they can get away with.
the most extreme part of your new policies provide no rationale or explanation as to why likely because you are not allowed to

I love when Americans get to tell the entire world what they can buy and share because they own all the credit cards company
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: In a dangerous evening escalation of the anti-porn war on the gaming industry, indie platform @itch.io has banned a number of NSFW titles and delisted thousands of others. Trans authors are caught in the crossfire. MasterCard, Visa, and anti-porn group Collective Shout drove the ban.

Hi all, My work pace and income have slowed down a LOT because of my depression, and I'm worried about making ends meet through the summer while BG is out of work. Any help getting through that would mean a lot to us. Thank you all so much! www.gofundme.com/f/help-may-a...
Itch is currently suppressing search results for anything nsfw, so please consider checking this out and sharing it where you can. I don’t feel great just straight up saying that, but the income I get from book sales is extremely important to my survival so I need your help here.
Sugar and Spice is officially up and available for download! June was a weirdly rough month for me in terms of writing, so it’s nice to finally have this sweet and spicy collection done and ready for yall to read finally 💛 bailey-saxon.itch.io/sugar-and-sp...
I need people to be much more alarmed about the Steam/itch situations than they are. It’s a hop skip and a jump from banning NSFW stuff (which shouldn’t happen) to all queer media to even cishet romance to anything they find objectionable. They keep trying to ban kids’ books about talking animals.
🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.
No matter what itchio says or does in the next week: don't forget this moment. Make no mistake, itchio needs creatives and artists more than we need them.
So why are all the games / books / albums tagged NSFW just gone? With no notice? Why did you give in to Christofascist demands without even telling us? Without even giving creators a head up that you've cut off their income and no warning that they need to find a new home? @itch.io
