Raise the roof

In honor of pride month, the e-book version of my lesbian knight/dragon love story is on sale for a whole dollar off! Only $3.99 for the month of June, so if you've ever been interested in checking it out now might be the time~

(especially with the second book coming out later this year)

Where to buy?

I don't know why the Barnes & Noble links aren't working from that site but it is at B&N, you can find it here.

Synopsis:

In a ruined castle deep in the wilderness, there lived a beautiful princess guarded by a ferocious dragon. Except for the fact that the maiden in the tower was no princess at all, but the dragon’s daughter. Rescued against her will, she is carried off to human lands and given the name Lady Patrice Drake. Caught between culture shock and grief, she must find a way to navigate her strange new surroundings lest she be drowned under human machinations and politics. Who among these people are enemies? Who among them are allies? And most importantly, who is she without her mother’s guidance and protection?

Age range: 16+

Type: Fantasy, medieval, F/F

this past year, I've been lucky enough to be a part of the supportive team doing some of the BG designs (art directed by @artofchira)! Also a huge, huge personal treat getting to see more of @moonsheen's writing ~

there are so many medications available for POTS that stand in-between non-pharmaceutical options and saline infusions.

some people with POTS will tell you that a POTS diagnosis is not worth pursuing because "it can't be cured and your doctors will only suggest salt, compression socks, and PT"- this is not true. a POTS diagnosis opens up a world of possibilities for medication, infusions, assistive devices like mobility aids, and accommodations.

POTS may not be curable but many people experience relief from many (or all) of their symptoms when taking one (or several) of the many medications available to treat POTS.

POTS medications also do not begin and end at beta blockers. having a bad experience with a beta blocker (or several) does not mean that no medications will work for you. there are POTS medications that come from quite a few different classifications of medication. it's worth trying more out.

the best way to get access to these treatments is to find a doctor knowledgeable about POTS. these are few and far between and tend to have long waitlists. as long as you can get the diagnosis a primary care provider is able to prescribe these medications.

While third place needs a tiebreaker, first place went to Patrice and Felisjyta from my novel Dragon's Daughter!

Which is really convenient because I can remind you that Dragon's Daughter, my knight/dragon love story, is currently on sale for the entire month of June~

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

From the OP: "If you sit at a desk or stare at your phone all day, this is for you. Here's how to undo the damage: - Banded Chin Tucks - Strengthen your neck flexors and fight forward head posture - Banded Pull-Aparts - Target your rotator cuff and improve shoulder stability - Banded Abduction - Activate the midline of your scapula for better posture - Lateral Deltoid Raises - Build shoulder stability and control - Banded Up-and-Overs – Boost scapular mobility and range of motion These simple banded drills will help you stand taller, move better, and feel stronger - even after hours at a desk."
