3 more days for this bundle by LGBTQIA+/ Disabled Authors, about queer/ disabled characters doing their thing. 🌈♿📚
Elise (they/them)🇦🇺 🏳️⚧️@eliseswords.eurosky.social · last mo.For the last week of Pride & 1st week of Disability Pride (July), I give you a bundle of books by Queer AND Disabled (including Neurodivergent) authors. You'll find plenty of Queer & Disabled characters here too, like my aro-ace, gay, autistic, CPTSD MC Rarkin. 🌈📚🧠📚💙 itch.io/b/3669/we-ex...
I'm part of bundle that is the perfect intersection between pride in June and disability pride in July! Check it out 😊🧡 itch.io/b/3669/we-ex... #booksky

Hello hello! I'm pretty sure I'm in this Pride Bundle on itch, even though I can't find my book cover (Literally. Erasure 🤣) Regardless, check it out!
Re: my last thread. I 'get' where erasure comes from. Ex: my kid is trans. He's already faced more shit in his young life than I *ever* will. He has supportive parents, friends, & school and it's still ... Hard. Really hard. But we can't turn queer liberation into the pain Olympics. We just can't.
Okay buckle up because for pride I'm going to talk about asexuality. Now I'm an elder millennial who had no idea what being ace meant. I grew up thinking I was very straight. (Okay. I have an aesthetic attraction to women as well but I thought that was just, you know, being normal). (1)
My pretty proof. Standalone sequel series to The Star-Crossed Empire

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
