QSFer David Gerrold has a new queer sci-fi book out (Bi, Demi, Gay): Here There Be Lawyers.

Dar is a well-connected arbiter and Turtledome is comfortable enough. But the colony on Praxis requires his expertise in crafting a constitution—and he doesn’t really have a choice in the matter. Their objective is a bold one, and if they succeed ...

Lia Connor has a new queer paranormal/dark fantasy collection out (bi, non-binary, transgender, poly): Gatos.

Catkind — they’re rough, they’re tough and they don’t take no for an answer. But who’d want to say no? Not Gabriella, a barmaid in a tiny roadhouse named Gatos near the Mexican border. Nor her sister ...

Mid-week vibes 😴😆
Hi, I’m Erik. ✊🚫 Fascist scums aren’t welcome here.

Self-discovery update 🌈🚻
Lately, seeing myself with a beard and presenting as male brings mixed feelings, and I’m exploring my gender identity more deeply. It’s a journey, but that’s the beauty of being gender-fluid and autistic I guess 🌛🌜.

Instance musings 📸✨
Debating whether to migrate instance after building a following on pixelfed.social. It’s a much nicer space than Instagram’s algorithmic chaos tbh, but I’ll take my time deciding, no rush.

Meanwhile, enjoy these mindless selfie. 💀

Hi, #Pixelfed!

I am migrating over to @midtsveen@pix.anduin.net from @midtsveen@pixelfed.social. You can look that up on the fediverse to understand why many are not happy with pixelfed.social and its admin.

I will not get into that here; I will just post an introduction to my new Pixelfed and say that I'm an ❤️🖤 Anarcho-syndicalist, 🏳️‍🌈 Bisexual, 🌈 Ambiamorous, 🏳️‍⚧️ Gender-fluid, 🧠 Neurodivergent, and 🧩 Autistic individual!

Yes, I share LGBTQIA+ content from time to time-after all, I’m Bisexual, Gender-Fluid, and Ambiamorous!

I wholeheartedly support everyone’s right to be who they truly are and to identify however they wish.

However, I have zero tolerance for fascists and far-right extremists, they threaten the values of love and acceptance we all deserve.

Love, acceptance, and respect for all! 🌈✨

From the article: "Companies that were once loud and proud in supporting LGBTQ+ community celebrations are pulling back.

"LGBTQ+ Pride festivals across the country have faced significant sponsorship challenges this year, with some losing corporate partners that collectively provided six-figure donations. As a result, organizations say they've had to modify their programming, pivot to other funding sources and reconsider their dependencies on corporate dollars.

"Many companies have cited economic concerns as their impetus to delay or exit partnerships with Pride groups. But LGBTQ+ group leaders also noted an increasingly hostile climate for diversity, equity and inclusion efforts that has prompted some businesses to rethink their support. In turn, Pride organizations are seeking clarity on how much their values still align with those of their corporate contributors.

"For this many companies to be dropping off, I think, points to that we're in a different political environment than we have been maybe in a long, long time," San Francisco Pride executive director Suzanne Ford told CNBC."

NBC 10 Philadelphia · Corporate sponsors are backing away from LGBTQ+ Pride organizationsBy Russell Leung, CNBC

I’m an anarcho-syndicalist, unapologetically queer 🏳️‍🌈, bi to the core 💜💙💖, gender wild and uncontained ⚧️-your boxes can’t hold me, your hate can’t touch me Ⓐ🏴✊.

I’m living loud 📢, loving who I want ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜, being every gender and none 🏳️‍⚧️, and I’m not here to make you comfortable 🚫.

Radical inclusion is my existence ✨🌈, and I’m not shrinking for anyone 💥.

Deal with it, or get out of the way 🛑👊.

The LGBTQ community is resourceful enough for Pride to continue regardless of the changes in corporate sponsorhips.

From the article: "Nearly two-fifths of corporations plan on scaling back engagement for LGBTQ Pride Month this June, an uptick from the same survey last year, while another two-fifths said their support would remain unchanged, according to a survey of corporate executives by Gravity Research, as some LGBTQ Pride organizations nationwide report fewer corporate sponsorships than past years."
