This is so scary! And could become totally possible in our countries. Homosexual love is not ‘obscene’. 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈 #pride #danmei

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO! i thought you were all maybe a little sick of hearing trans book recs from me … so i asked the bookish community! thank you SO much to the wonderful creators who helped fill this video with books to help us all prep for the 2025 @trreadathon.bsky.social! youtu.be/AJILpnexf10

Since January of this year, US government websites have been removing any reference to trans and nonbinary identities---including the website for the Stonewall National Monument. Yes, that Stonewall. But we’re still here, and we’re not going anywhere.

There is no anxiety quite like the waiting room anxiety of waiting to hear back from a job application 🫠

Aromantic spicy fantasy book rec of the day. A tired witch takes a solo holiday to a cottage and summons an agender, aromantic sex demon to help her… relax. The two have a lot of fun… relaxing. This is so great! #booksky #queerbooksky #aromanticawarenessweek

Aromatic fantasy book rec of the day. In a city ravaged by a magical plague, a non-binary aroace healer from a refugee community tries to find a cure. This was SUCH a brilliant novella. I’m usually scared of medical plots but I was hooked. #booksky #aroawarenessweek #diversebooksky

If you're a UK author, illustrator, creative, it's important to have your say by 25th February re. the government's stance on copyright protection and AI. @fossilfreebooks.org has a breakdown on their ig about what you can do. www.instagram.com/p/DGQktlEIxd...

Marsha and Sylvia and Holly and countless others won’t be erased. And fuck “LGB” I don’t want anything to do with it. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2USwPrQ/

Werecockroach is a novella about first contact and people who turn into cockroaches. The lead is aromantic, asexual, agender, disabled and non-white. Everyone's working class, except the aliens. It's a gentle story. www.polenthblake.com/words/cockro... #AroWeek #ASAW #QueerBookSky #DiverseBookSky

Aromantic fantasy book rec of the day. An aroace student gets turned into a vampire, found by a vampire punk band, and brought into the fold. He’s harbouring a secret however, a mysterious force within him, and it’s getting stronger… Loved this! #booksky #queerbooksky #aroawarenessweek

Well, they got me, I've secretly been lying to you all... I don't actually read 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My whole life is apparently a lie 😂

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Okay, pals. Time for action this month. We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities. These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

Just so we’re clear: Free Palestine Free Sudan Free the DRC Free the Rohingya Free the Uyghurs Black Lives Matter Welcome refugees Queer, trans, disabled rights are human rights Climate justice Love is love Be excellent to each other Don’t be a dick Mask up Eat the rich Punch Nazis Thank you 💜

In today’s ’taking a break from work by doomscrolling’: “Over half of UK school librarians have been asked [by parents] to remove books, many of which are LGBTQ+ titles… may be influenced by similarly intensifying book censorship trends in the US” ARGH #booksky www.euronews.com/culture/2024...

The wait for Katabasis is actually sending me more than a little bit feral guys...

When people "need" alt text to "see" images, their screen readers read aloud the descriptive text (if provided). It's not *just* for blindness but any vision-related impairments. Those w/migraines, vertigo, or chronic fatigue, say. Or garden variety "I can't read small text on mobiles anymore."

Let’s do this!

Time for Australians to show that we will not tolerate the political subjugation and removal of rights of trans people - gender affirming care is life-saving. It takes 5 mins to email the QLD Health Minister and say so.

Head over to @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social for a chance to win your very own custom bookish macarons, based on the book you choose! This is to help families in Gaza, one of which, Alaa, I have also been supporting since April (info in my bio). #booksky #foodsky 🪐📚

So I went to have a look at that new bookish platform that launched today called Tome So far it's only available internationally on browser and it's pretty damn buggy Also the main appeal for me was that it was meant to port over my tiktok following list and it fully hasn't 😅🫠 It looks pretty tho

go.bsky.app/ALbjGXE I’m adding new Indigenous authors and book reviewers and industry folks to this pack daily, so check to make sure you’re following everyone and then share!

I know my bio says "Lover of all things Speculative fiction" and I promise at some point I'll give you more specfic recs but rn I'm loving non-fiction and wanted to share 15 of my essential reading non-fiction recs 🖤📚 I do have more so lmk if you want a part 2 ✌️ #nonficbooksky #booksky #nonfiction

I've been thinking ALOT about They Called Us Enemy by George Takei in collaboration with Eisinger, Scott & Becker It's a graphic novel memoir about Takei's childhood growing up in Japanese American internment camps An absolutely essential read for right now #diversebooksky #graphicnovelsky
