Pocket Casts was recommended to me as an Android user awhile before A8c acquired them, and I have been so happy ever since! Making the web player free to everyone is a big deal, because making more content available matters. <3

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Abra / Jessica Conwell, Random Trans Woman 🏳️⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼👻@pairofclaws.bsky.social · 3y agoBeing a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?" So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
Sabbatical has been great for my decision making. Today, for example, I decided a good idea was hill repeats, in a cemetery, listening to My Favorite Murder, alone, in the rain. Got my heart rate way up!
Because I'm not a huge nerd, I'm obsessed with this show called Engineering Catastrophes. And I'm so annoyed that THREE different episodes feature 601 Lexington. We get it! They didn't consider the cross winds! Quick reminder: not a huge nerd.
So excited that Tumblr posts were cited as research in a PDF on @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on "organized retail crime." Definitely confirmed Tumblr's rep as a place to get legitimate retail research. Definitely. We are known for that. Always have been. Industry lobbyists, come get your research

My 7-yo said: two plus two plus two is six! And my 12-yo said: no, one plus two plus two plus one is six. We believe in Clue math in this house.
7-yo just shout-sang "this girl is on fi-yer!" Before he ran right up the slide. The true anthem of playgrounds.
My daughter like to drink her water out of bowls, and she calls it "H Stew Oh"
7-yo told me he's learning "-ay" words. I asked for an example and he says, "like when two cool guys meet and say 'ay."
When my 7-yo took off his hoodie, the amount of pine needles that fell out... it's like he was a depression-era mattress.
7-yo: mom, I have a message for you, and it is my face. The message:
I'm not against where this is going, but I definitely don't know where it's going.
Any day I get to dust off "antidisestablishmentarianism" is a very good day indeed.
