"I have no sense of myself anymore besides the fact that I am not what I once was. I'm too tired to see my body from the eyes of others, in the terrible way trans-ness demands—always existing both inside and outside of myself, judging as an observer." Andrew Joseph White.
Please read Hell Followed with Us!!! It's a new favorite of mine.

HELLO
Do you like GAY JEWISH THINGS? Are you a BIG LEFTIST who likes WORKER STRUGGLES and also JEWISH THINGS? Do you want the self-revelations of a gender-indifferent angel to make you fucking sob in your kitchen?
If so, you need to read this book like FUCKING IMMEDIATELY.
Spoilers behind the cut, because I literally just sat and transcribed the part from the audiobook that made me sit down at my kitchen table and ugly cry for like five solid minutes. It was like being punched directly in the solar plexus in the best of all ways. FUCK! It's SO FUCKING GOOD.
One of the main characters is an angel who leaves, in the company of its partner, a demon called Little Ash, the shtetl in which it has been sitting in a room, studying Talmud so intently with its companion, a demon, that the two of them literally did not notice when a synagogue was built around where they sat and studied. It ends up becoming more and more human over the course of the book due to Events, and at one point finds himself in a union meeting to decide on whether the garment workers should protest over their working conditions. The angel is being called Uriel at this point because this is what is on its falsified immigration papers. A young woman is reading a list of people who have been injured, gotten sick, or been killed because of the working conditions. And then this:
The girl's voice rose and fell like a cantor's, and Uriel listened as to a voice from heaven, drinking in every word of the Yiddish that was starting to feel as familiar to it as a mother tongue. The words filled it up, and soaked into its heart, and it thought to itself, all of this time, I had been missing something, and I had no idea. Its heart was heavier with the weight of the young worker's words, but should a heart not be heavy in a world full of injustice? It looked down at its lap, twisting its tzitzis in its fingers. This was the world Essie lived in, and her family, and all of the people back in Shtetl, and it had never noticed. How many times had it said "Listen, Israel!" and not been listening? Oh, it thought, I have been terrible. Terrible. Uriel Fetterman needs to be someone who sees what is happening in the world around it. I must stay this way, this person, so that I won't forget. This is why Torah was not for angels. Angels forget what humans can remember. Angels skip lightly over ground that needs plowing with rough hands and sharp blades. Uriel had thought that it could not be doing wrong because it had no inclination for evil. But what had it been doing for hundreds of years? Studying, and forgetting that studying should lead to action. It would never have left Shtetl without Little Ash, would never have known it was missing anything. But it had missed the most important purpose it could ever have, something bigger than an angel could ever be.

pssssst..... if you're wondering where I've been for the last month...... you should all read Wolfsong by TJ Klune.
It's gorgeous. It's heart-wrenching. It's a coming of age LGBTQA+ story with werewolves. The series has Ace rep, which you never get. You need to read it.

Maybe it's just because I literally finished reading Harrow the Ninth by @tazmuir at 12:00 am last night, but I'm listening to "Farewell Wanderlust" by The Amazing Devil right now, and it's so Harrowhark/Gideon-core.

The sixty-eighth free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click here to read from the beginning).
Valerie's office is foreboding at night. Shadows creep down the walls, cast by the vines of plants. Tons of them — nestled in pots — dangle from the ceiling by chains. At the slightest shift of air, they sway and their chains rattle, filling the room with a haunting melody. The melody of a a gaol-bound lich; of armored skeletons marching.
It sends goosebumps crawling over Avery's skin and resonates with the pain of her dislocated shoulder. She sinks further into the sofa — unable to do more than exist. I'm safe here. I'm safe.
Her usual internal contrarian fails to prod her: maybe it's too exhausted to carry on torturing her. Still, her thoughts aren't silent. They wax and wane, just like the moonlight outside shimmering through shifting clouds. Hazy, ethereal, unstable. Teasing the outskirts of sleep.
With a few more seconds, she's gone. Falling through her mind. She jolts up, out from the depths of the cushion's warmth and onto the edge of the sofa. No! I can't sleep. Not yet. Not until the police get here.
[...]
This week, how about we repost this bisexual disaster’s character concept sheet?

Now’s a great time to share some art of Snowblooded’s main characters that I commissioned from the brilliant Ewa Zajdel ( https://araneapeixes.tumblr.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/zajdart ). Let’s go in alphabetical order and start with Petrichor! Here’s our broken, misunderstood, grave assassin with a secret dream to be… [redacted due to spoilers]. Ewa captured him perfectly, right? Watch this space for Valour to make an appearance next! Oh and why not check out Snowblooded in your fave bookshop: http://bit.ly/4aaLGNl
