it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
PRE-ORDER: Only available until December 31, 2024! Shipping from the United States and Europe to: US 🇺🇸, EU 🇪🇺, UK 🇬🇧, Canada 🇨🇦, Australia 🇦🇺, and New Zealand 🇳🇿 Thank you everyone for voting on the polls and helping shape three new collections — 30(!) unique pins! You can get yours here:
prideknights.com ⚔️🌈
Pins production update
Hey everyone! I thought it would be cool to show you how the pride pins are made. Here are some production photos the manufacturer sent me this week! (:
First a mold is made.
Then a blank pin.
The coloring starts. In order to avoid colors mixing, only one color is manually added each time (a time consuming process).
After finishing one color, the pins are placed into an oven for more than two hours to make the first color dry. This process repeats until all colors are added. Most pins have 5+ colors!
Then the pins get polished and plated (keep in mind that none of the pins shown here are finished)
That is the update for now! Production should be finished August 13. Then it takes another 2-3 weeks to ship (air freight) to the fulfilment centers I work with in the US and EU. Shipping starts September! Thank you everyone for supporting this project! Stay proud! ⚔️🌈 ~ Roderick
🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! Happy Pride! We have several fun genre lists heading your way this month. All of these lists will feature between 10-20 books and all books on it will have under 5,000 Goodreads ratings, with a handful on each being under 1,000! Our goal is to introduce you to new books you might have never seen otherwise. These will be a mix of indie and traditional books; and range in age category! Our next list is Superqueero books!
This is for readers who love books like Hero by Mike Perry, I am Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee, and X-Men or Avengers comics! For this list, we defined superhero books as books that take place in a relatively urban area where the MC fights crime, wears a costume, or has powers/abilities beyond those of ordinary people.
Do you have any others you would add to this list? Authors please feel free to self-promote your superqueero books in the comments!
Follow along with #RCPride2024 to find all our themed lists and reels to come this month!

I am so happy to be a part of the #QueerBookstagrammerTour again this year!
Leave it to me to wait until the last minute to get photos for this and then not be able to choose which to use. 😂 I picked a few of my favorite queer books to feature. Books that spoke to me on some level or were just incredibly fun reads. I'm happy to answer any questions!
Some facts about me:
• I'm panromantic asexual, but generally say I'm queer
• Rom-coms are my comfort genre, both books and movies
• I live in Texas with my partner of 8 years and our two cats, Obi and Winston (swipe to slide 4 to see Winston)
• I'm neurodivergent (most likely auDHD)
• I've gotten back into manga collecting after being bullied out of it in high school
• Audiobooks have absolutely CHANGED my reading game. The trauma of the pandemic sadly obliterated my attention span for most physical books
• Most of what I read these days is queer in some way
A huge thanks to @foreverinastory and @djreadsbooks for putting this together!
Remember: whether you are out or not, know you are greatly loved and my account is a safe space. 🌈✨️ Bigots can't and won't win.
I am now president of the Winston fan club thank you
🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! Happy Pride! We have several fun genre lists heading your way this month. All of these lists will feature between 10-20 books and all books on it will have under 5,000 Goodreads ratings, with a handful on each being under 1,000! Our goal is to introduce you to new books you might have never seen otherwise. These will be a mix of indie and traditional books; and range in age category!
Our next list is queer dystopian novels! This is for readers who loved books like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia and Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao! For this list, we defined dystopian books as an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives. You’ll find themes of revolution and survival at all costs in these books!
Do you have any others you would add to this list? Authors please feel free to self-promote your queer dystopian books in the comments!

🌈 Rainbow Crate is proud to present to you our July 2023 theme…
Hidden Identities! ✨
🌈 Our first book this month is Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best! It will come with signed bookplates and an exclusive dust jacket with spot gloss and both gold AND silver foiling!
SHYF AT-A-GLANCE: As an expert thief from a minor moon, Cass knows a good mark when she sees one. The emperor’s ball is her chance to steal a fortune for herself, her ailing father, and her scrappy crew. But on the station, things quickly go awry. When the emperor is found dead, everyone in the palace is a suspect—and someone is setting Cass up to take the fall.
REP: Sapphic mcs, wlw, chronic illness, addiction, nonbinary scs, queernormative world, preferred pronouns presented in jewelry
🌈 Our second book this month is Prince and Assassin by Tavia Lark! Our exclusive edition comes with a beautiful new cover, foiled art hard case, foiled patterned endpages, printed edges, a bonus short story, and signed art bookplates!
PAA AT-A-GLANCE: Assassin Whisper has a new assignment: infiltrate Prince Julien’s court, protect him until the signal arrives, then kill him. Julien trusts nobody besides his brothers, and he certainly doesn’t trust the aloof, beautiful new stranger at court. But he doesn’t have to trust him to be drawn to him, especially when he saves Julien’s life. Then Julien saves Whisper too — and falling in love could ruin them both.
REP: mlm, Rep: Gay mcs, lesbian scs, trans w sc, Black sc, East Asian sc, South Asian sc, queer normative world
