The worst part of anti industrial rhetoric is this assumption that everyone would be better off if all goods were made at home, sorry, I think women deserve to have a life outside of spinning

[queer-as-city-folk]

Because that is what would happen in the case of a total deindustrialization, more labor would be thrust upon women.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Someone has to spin the wool and wash the dishes and churn the butter and do all of the menial labor that makes human society survive, and historically, that labor has been done by women

Modern AU Abigail Pent who is everyone's favourite cookie-baking teacher/librarian/foster mom/therapist or whatnot is a little perplexing to me.

No, that woman is using her generational wealth to fund an academic career where she writes dense tomes on late antique heresies. She and Magnus are only validly married in the eyes of the church because they have a very, very good canon lawyer. They acquired the teens through a dubious international adoption and have maybe not kept them quite as in touch with their culture as they ought. Is she just really into her field of research, or is she dabbling in the occult in a way that requires knowledge of at least two dead languages and at least one archaeological artefact of questionable provenance?

Still a fantastic parental figure to the rest of the cast, willing to go to bat for them in slightly terrifying ways, etc etc but I'm begging you to let her be the "unwholesome" (ch 35) and "problematic" (CIF) person she is in the text.

First Nations chiefs across country 'blindsided' by pipeline announcements | CBC News

First Nations chiefs countrywide are expressing concern about the lack of engagement after two pipelines were announced in Alberta, B.C. and

First Nations leaders from western British Columbia to southern Ontario are expressing concern at governments' lack of consultation with them before two recent high-profile pipeline announcements. Chiefs in three provinces told CBC Indigenous there was no consultation at all before the plans were unveiled. The head of the Anishinabek Nation, which advocates for 39 communities in Ontario, is urging the province to apologize and take a step back after announcing a plan to build an oil pipeline from Hardisty, Alta., to Sarnia, Ont. "It was blindsiding, but at the same time it's not surprising considering the behaviour of both levels of government," said Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige.

the USA has always known it is the chief producer of war criminals, so it has always railed against the ICC, which is why the Hague invasion act exists:

It's just that now that nothing matters anymore, and the fascists/zionists in charge have realized that international law and your liberal credentials and even international standing as a country are completely fake and worthless, they are openly saying they are dismantling the institutions of international law. because they know they are war criminals.

I feel like I say this ad nauseam, but every time I worry I'm too annoying about promoting my work, someone always comments something along the lines of "I've been following you for over a decade, what do you mean you wrote an international bestselling book?"

And I'm like, welp, time to reblog some stuff, I guess ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[spacecluster]

You what

[thebibliosphere]

I... okay, hold on. I've got a copy-paste response for this...

(ID in alt)

Hi, I'm Joy Demorra, international bestselling author and general disaster.

This is my book. Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites is the first book in the Hunger Pangs series, a queer, polyamorous, paranormal, gaslamp slow-burn romance featuring vampires, werewolves, and various other creatures that go bump in the night.

It started out life as a Tumblr shit post and became an international bestseller within several hours of pre-orders going up. No one was more surprised than me.

It features Nathan, a deaf, disabled werewolf newly returned from war, and Vlad, a neurodivergent mad scientist vampire trying to unionize the workforce of the island in between tripping over all his various ongoing projects. (free healthcare, free schooling, y’know, small hobbies)

The other main character is Ursula, an all-powerful [REDACTED] working to save the world from imminent ecological disaster. The main romance arc of book one focuses on Vlad x Nathan, with Ursula forming her own relationships with them alluded to in the next book.

No love triangles here. Just three highly competent bisexuals sharing the same brain cell the closer they are to each other.

The world is set in a pseudo-regency meets fake Victorian Gaslamp Fantasy world, complete with gothic castles, enchanted forests, and just a smidge of industrial coal dust.

One of my favorite reviews ever described it as "the queer, goth love child of Terry Pratchett meets Jane Austen," so if that sounds interesting to you, you can check out my links below.

Buy the (high heat) Flirting With Fangs Edition Here.

Buy the (medium heat) Fluff and Fangs Edition Here.

Why are there two versions, and what's the difference between them? Glad you asked! You can also find content tags on my website at www.joydemorra.com if you want to find out more.

I'd put them on the book itself, but Amazon would pitch a fit.

So, yeah. I wrote a book. I'm writing several more. I'm just recovering from almost dying in the same year I published the book. Because that was also a thing. Anyway. ✨Book✨

[thebibliosphere]

#OP should write a book — good news!

[thebibliosphere]

Like clockwork, lmao.

[thebibliosphere]

Twice in one month! New record!

[frizzycrls]

Okay, this sounds like a book worth checking out! Out of curiosity, are there any plans for releasing a hardcover version or would that be a 'down the line when the full series is released' sort of thing?

[thebibliosphere]

Thanks for asking! At the time when I first released these, my options as a self-pub author were limited in terms of getting it distributed, and then after the market options expanded it just became a task I never got around to.

I am *hoping* by the time the second book comes around, I will have hardback options available for all my stuff that are affordable and widely available.

At the moment I just have the limited edition hardbacks that were supported by my patrons over on Patreon. I do have a few boxes of those left--and I will be putting those up for sale on my Payhip hopefully soon.

So the answer is, yes! Eventually, hopefully. I'm just working on a lot of things and trying to get it all lined up :)

I know this is the evil capitalist site, but this just made me laugh

Sex is cheap - fluff though? Now that will cost you! 😂

[thebibliosphere]

Oh, so the fluff version isn’t listing the Amazon price listing. That’s Ingram’s pricing. It’s just autogenerating. If you go onto my actual Amazon author page, you’ll find the proper listings.

Also lol, the ai summary. I hadn’t seen that yet. Good to know what’s happening while I’m putting all my effort into other platforms.

WELCOME BACK SOTHIS

[fadell-aldany]

I don't know what to say. I've run out of words, and the war in G@za hasn't ended. The b0mbing continues every day, and d@ath stalks us every moment.

[fadell-aldany]

I'm writing to you amidst this siege, with pain gnawing at my body. Since our house was bombed, shrapnel has been lodged in my body, tearing me apart and causing unbearable pain. I haven't been able to have surgery to remove it because the entire healthcare system here has been destroyed, and I need to raise the m0ney for travel to have my operation in another country. I need your stand by me.

[fadell-aldany]

On top of this suffering, I'm suffering from severe anemia, which causes me to faint frequently. I urgently need your h@lp now to buy anemia medication and painkillers to alleviate this agony, and to cover the costs of my treatment, I hope you will all stand by my side.
