This is where NOT YOUR SIDEKICK and its sequel come from, along with SIDESHOW, the 1950’s carnival lesbians book!

There are like ten things I want from here! But I just bought a heap of books, so. Everyone else go buy stuff. Unfortunately, they only ship print copies to the US and Canada, so if you live in the rest of the world, see if you can find a buddy who you can get them shipped to who’ll send them on for you if you cover the shipping cost. (That’s what I tend to do.)

Announcing the re-release of Eitan’s Chord”, my erotic f/f/f short about Chanukah fairies gathering together to grant a poor queer Jewish human couple’s wishes while they sleep! Meet “cute butch Latke, enthusiastic party girl Dreidl, and their elegant leader Menorah”, seen above in art by @agaricals. (The beautiful new cover is by Jane Dominguez.)

The new version has a couple of minor improvements, such as Latke being on the fairy roller derby team now. Oh, and now it’s only 99¢! 🕎

BTW the human portions of the story are trans m/cis f romance and completely G-rated; the fairy portions are “heat level all nine candles.” 😏😏😏

“When I danced with the Lord of the Dead for the first time, he said it was beautiful, and he ran his fingers through it. All the hair turned white around them, out of jealousy. That’s why I only have five black streaks left. Those are the parts he touched.”

just a sketch. i really enjoyed the premise of this book, and thought this image was particularly striking. 

yidquotes:

Do You believe,” the disciple asked the rabbi, “that God created everything for a purpose?

“I do,” replied the rabbi.

“Well,” asked the disciple, “why did God create atheists?”

The rabbi paused before giving an answer, and when he spoke his voice was soft and intense. “Sometimes we who believe, believe too much. We see the cruelty, the suffering, the injustice in the world and we say: ‘This is the will of God.’ We accept what we should not accept. That is when God sends us atheists to remind us that what passes for religion is not always religion. Sometimes what we accept in the name of God is what we should be fighting against in the name of God.“

Chief Rabbi Emeritus [of the United Synagogues of the British Commonwealth] Jonathan Sacks
