i love supporting indie authors i wish i had more money to rain on yall

A great way to support indie authors when you can't buy their books is spreading work about them. Tell friends, family, people on social media. Be the next bigolas dickolas for an indie author

*wink wink nudge nudge* My books

OO yes and another thing i forgot is that you can ask your local libraries to carry your fave indie's books ‼️

i was gonna see if someone tagged me in anything recently to have an excuse to post this bit bc i like it but i don't feel like scrolling through my activity so im just gonna post it anyway

“i am the black death that eradicates filth.” the wolf’s voice is much deeper than sjaak’s; a cavernous rasp that shudders the foundations even of the house that still dares to stand amidst their trial. “i need not a reason to ferry your soul to The Devil.”

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.
