Sour Cherry by @nassos.bsky.social. Library borrow last yr; took all I had not to mark up page upon page. Got my own copy but had to catch my breath, back away before re-engaging. Started my revisit 3 days ago. This book will strip the soft bark off every fairy tale in your heart. 🖤 Link next post

The paperback lays open to pages 126 and 127 atop a green cutting mat. A small plain pad of paper is on top, with pencil scribbles: "names/lack of names, Eunice=joyful victory, Eunice merge w/narrator p133, throat/mouth/stomach, cherries-sour cherries-cherry tree" and more. In the background, on the page, a character named Halt sits near a character named Tristan on a beach.

Do me a favor. Respond or quote this with the most recent piece of media (book, short story, album, painting, statue, game, anything) by a *trans creator* that you loved. Drop a link. Boost their signal.
