OMG 4 days until the release of my next book Variable Current! Shocked, stunned, excited. Also got a Pokemon Halloween countdown calendar. Boom, Eevee with witch hat.

3 Days!!Mimikyu #778 — There was a scientist who peeked under Mimikyu’s old rag in the name of research. The scientist survived because he pre-ordered it’s trainer’s ebook.

Variable Current is out Tomorrow!

#725 Litten — It doesn’t allow its emotions to be easily seen. Earning its trust takes time. It prefers reading novels in solitude.

My Pokedex really says that. Kidding aside, Variable Current is out tomorrow! While the first book was influenced by tumblr aces and being yourself, book two is far more about community organizing and not losing yourself. I hope you help me celebrate the release tomorrow and check out this sci-fi series.

I was actively formatting this post when I saw those asks and frankly could not help myself but to answer them first. At some length. Because at my core I am a novelist. And then I thought… I should bury this post in the queue. You can’t have something serious next to something light-hearted or anything with money.

But then I thought about how, and why, Press Start was written. My friend and I were going into 2017 having just heard horrible political news and we didn’t know how dangerous the next years would be. Then this book was released May 2020. And wow, we didn’t know how dangerous that year would be. 

And I caught myself and realized, it was written as and for escapism. And I think more than ever it is detrimental to never allow ourselves play. So here is that post after all about this very low stakes book that was written, and read, in very serious times.

Image desc: a book rests on a small progressive pride flag on a picnic table. The book is called “Press Start” by Rose Sinclair & Jonathan Lopez. The cover has a hand holding a phone with a map displayed; a blurry landscape is in the background; emoji dance in the foreground.

It’s International Day of Friendship and National Paperback Book Day so why not celebrate both at the same time and pick up a copy of PRESS START!

This light-hearted story about making friends in a new town is simply the perfect way to end July and has a demisexual love interest. 💜

Race across neon lit streets for fun and profit! Life was fun for Victor, that is until his father and club president was kidnapped while he was out racing with friends. Which makes the last thing he needs right now is to fall for a big city mechanic. 
Life hasn’t been easy for Iris, but she’s making it work while living out of a tiny shop next to the pro-racing circuit. She has no business checking out a stranger who comes in asking enter the races. 
But together they just might change the game.

New chapter is [LIVE]

This year, for Pride, consider giving me money.

Hello, my name is April Daniels. I’m an author best known for my debut novel Dreadnought, and for occasionally running out of money. Since my last post, a lot of amazing things have happened. For example, the Taxman cometh, and the Taxman taketh away. With so little money, I recently attempted to return to the workforce, but discovered the hard way I am still disabled. It looks like I am gonna have to pass the hat again, because I don’t have enough money to make it to my next payday.

Fortunately, it’s June! The month of Pride, and the monitization of social progress! This year, I urge you to give your money to queers not banks.

If you can’t afford to contribute, please reblog this and post the link to other social media. It takes just a few moments but it could be a lifesaver.

Thank you so much for your generosity!

#SomethingToSay twitter campaign begins NOW

1. tweet 5 tweets with this hashtag (add pics, memes, gifs or something - twitter won’t mark them as spam so quickly!)

2. like 20 tweets with the hashtag!!!!

3. reply to 5 tweets with this hashtag, using the hashtag !!! 

4. don’t just use the hashtag (don’t tweet only the tag). add some words to avoid twitter marking it as spam!!!

let’s go fandom let’s go!!!

If you feel this take’s over your post let me know @antifacas, but I wanted to add to this. First off, I’m impressed by the mobilization here. The exact hey please do x, y, and z in your voice. 

Second, I get how hashtags these days can feel cheap. But an ace hashtag 5 years ago helped create the only ace character in tv for years. And do you know how many people told me they came out because of that character? Countless. Representation matters. Representation of all LGBTQIA characters matters. And I refuse to ignore the disabled characters too. 

If you don’t think it matters you should have saw the joy it created and the then pain it caused to realize in real time a network censored itself and tried to that joy away. I’m tired of debating what “Bury Your Gays” means or doesn’t mean. I have #SomethingToSay about the C/W

A writer of Riverdale told me that they were looking out for the ace community. We respected that, trusted them. Let up the pressure. Then interviews confirmed the straight washing shortly after. Was that the network again? We may never know.  But we do know this is a pattern from the C/W. 

So yeah I got #SomethingToSay About Lexa. About Jughead. All of SPN’s queer characters this past month alone. More in shows I never once watched. I’m tired of companies and specially the C/W creating queerphobia for profit.

How do I quickly explain this @glaad​ is this really amazing group that cheers on and calls out harmful things with LGBTQ media.

We just learned that the Spanish versions of the Supernatural ( @thecwspn​ ) have two men saying they romantically love each other. Something that was edited out us the American version. 

I legit think anyone who believes or doesn’t believe that an American show censored itself for America audiences  should report the @TheCW for media defamation. It’s 2020 the CW really can’t have two men saying I love you to each other? Outrageous. 

You can boost this, you can like and RT my tweet on it to ping GLAAD and the CW.  You can also report media defamation to GLAAD directly. The don’t think the CW can be honest so we need GLAAD to be that watch dog for us again. 

DO THIS BUT DO /NOT/ PING THE CW

WE ARE NO PLATFORMING THE CW

WE ARE REPORTING TO GLAAD

WE ARE USING THE HASHTAG #THEYSILENCEDYOU

Good morning aces, morning update for you

It’s been 5 months and there is someone who is still mocking and belittling things I cited were done specially to accommodate myself as a disabled trans person

This is my last post here since people *still* won't leave me be even a month from the last 'my boundary is here stop please'. It's of a note that my mod wrote that I now need by my desk to remind me. Which is fucked up that I need that.

If your understanding of ableism begins and ends with “I don’t say no-no words that I was told not to say” you do not understand ableism

ex: if you feel the need to go up to two disabled people having a conversation about their disability and say things like “actually you’re differently abled, not disabled” then you are actively adding ableism not protecting people from it
