Bought a copy of Rubem Alves' I Believe in the Resurrection of the Body from @wipfandstock (it says inside it was originally published by @Fortresspress) and the translator isn't credited! Was wondering if you could tell me who the translator is?
@jlzdrok I have to brush the doggo off before she comes in! Her white snout is green! The cats were grey, now they are some variation of puce on their sides and tails. What a mess, I can't wait for it to be over!!

@Ximiryn @velithya Its actually called a V in Poly for that exact reason. A triad when all parties are involved. Which only further illustrates the need for more honest depictions of poly in fiction.
Okay, I have a slightly morbid, but I fine quite funny, story about a bra, my grandmother, and a funeral. When my grandmother died, they gave my mother a list of things she would need to be buried in. Bra, panties, hosiery, shoes, and clothes. 1/

@smorganspells I still have garbage days & I do this for a living. Diet can help, increase carbs before and protein after to help recovery. Lots of water. Hot baths. Sports therapy massage if you can, if not one from your partner. Keep going, overcoming those aches may kick that serotonin up!
Yesterday in Charlotte, protestors were assaulted and arrested by Mecklenberg County Sherrifs deputies while doing jail support. They lost a LOT of their supplies. The ACLU is suing Charlotte for the attack. RT or donate for bail support
tw: Black death
Y’all were LOUD last week for George Floyd but I hear and see almost nothing about Dominique Fells and Riah Minton, two Black trans women that were murdered this week. Your anti-racism is performative if it doesn’t include trans folks. Petitions/gfm below
While I’m ripping off bandaids:
Also, your white author (JK Rowling) disappointed you (yes, valid) so NOW you recommend us black fantasy writers like some sort of consolation prize/replacement??? Do better.
Recommend us because our proud, yes, black work is fantastic.
It is.
TW: There are screenshots of the essay in this thread that Trans folks don't need to see. Please don't subject yourselves to it.
This is a well thought out, point by point rebuttal of the essay and an explanation of the manipulation used.
