So I’ve been playing Fable, a game that was ahead of its time in 2004 for having same-sex marriage. The problem is, only a small minority of the game’s townsfolk are queer and it’s random. One town didn’t have a single queer guy. My character was rejected over and over. So I came up with a plan…

I just went to the beach for my 42nd birthday! Sadly, due to my being at least partially ginger, I lasted about 30 minutes in direct sunlight 😅 If I look uncomfortable that’s because I’m about to spontaneously combust…

42 today! 🌟 For my birthday, it would mean the world to me if you read one of my books or short stories! I put my heart and soul into my writing, and I love it when people read my work. Take a look at my website here: redjon.com

Good morning, Bluesky! It’s an orange day today! 🧡

On a much needed birthday vacation to the Canary Islands! Usually my partner Ismar and I go on a city break, exploring cafes and museums – so a lazy stay by the pool is something completely different! 🌈

My Canary Island adventures have led me to a brand new eyeshadow palette! Though my pink is predictably my first choice, I’ll be showing off all these colours over the coming weeks! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤍🩵

It doesn’t matter if it’s a terror attack or queerphobic comments in the street. We cannot let hate stop us from living our lives out loud. I will always wear makeup. And I will always be proud of who I am. This is our city too. #Berlin

A guy in the street saw my makeup, called me a slur, then ran away across the road – only to almost get hit by oncoming traffic. Not sure what to make of that experience, to be honest.

Feeling the silver today. 🩶

My heart aches for my city today, but I’m incredibly grateful for the friends and family from around the world who’ve reached out to check we’re all right. 💞

I didn't go to Berlin Pride/CSD this year but I've been messaging friends who did to make sure they're okay. My heart goes out to all of those injured. Fuck hatred. ❤️

This post from last year explains why I won't be going to Berlin's Pride today – but I wish a great time to all those celebrating! 🌈🎉 Meanwhile, this introvert will be doing some reading...

I tried to do Pride this year but I’m not very good around crowds and large amounts of noise. I’ve managed to find a nearby bench to sit out, but I think I’m just a bit too introverted for this… Happy Pride anyway! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This big enby introvert is off out for the evening! Wish me luck! 🧡

This is embarrassingly egocentric but when trying to write “reference” I usually end up with “redfernence”…

sometimes when i write "generally", it comes out as "genderally"

Looking for a little horror? My story 'Flatlands' was just published in Macabre Magazine! "... a strange noise drifted in the open window. Like a song that taunts you as you try and remember it. Like a melody with the notes stripped out." Read it here: macabremagazine.com/flatlands-by...

Just saw this Pride Month display that was up the Trenton Public Library in New Jersey. It really means a lot to see Proud Pink Sky up there along with such incredible novels as Young Mungo, Bury Your Gays, and Middlesex. Happy belated Pride! 🌈💞 #amwriting #booksky #lgbtq

Hi to all the new followers! I'm a queer author with two novels out: PROUD PINK SKY is set in the world's first gay state, while THE GIDDY DEATH is all about polyamory and nonbinary life. I also love make up! The more colour the better! You can read more about me and my work at redjon.com

I find it astonishing that popular books are *still* killing Queer and Black characters while leaving everyone else alive. I find it even more astonishing that these books get rave reviews and no one even mentions it. We're people. Not sacrificial lambs who only exist to heighten your story.

Before you get snobbish about e-readers, remember that they allow large text for those with sight disabilities, alternate fonts for those with dyslexia, and can be laid down flat for those lacking mobility in their hands. That last point is especially helpful for me right now. Go e-readers!

alright it's over the line, it is live. Still plenty of slots though, if you want to apply. go.bsky.app/PhVMreq
