As someone who grew up in a pretty rural-suburban town with no gay culture or Pride celebrations I'm really glad there are virtual events like this one, TONIGHT

Amazing that they thought they could suppress news identifying Jonathan Ross as Renee Good’s killer

Tomorrow!

Be aware that the establishment Dem centrists are going to continue to try and derail the good things happening in NYC and their tactics will be embarrassing.

our gay agenda?? the most queer books you’ve ever seen together in one place & the more $$ we raise in our annual fundraiser the faster we’re able to add to our collection (givebutter.com/qqlls-pride-...)

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Saw this on tumblr: a Black-led, trans-led nonprofit that has distributed over $1 million worth of gender-affirming resources to trans and gender non-conforming people. They have a free online "store" where folks can get all sorts of things. Based in my home state 🌴 and simply based

✨JUNETEENTH MUTUAL AID THREAD ✨ Here’s a thread with Black folks you can support in celebration of #Juneteenth. Do some good - even if you’re sending $3 to a Black person to treat themselves to a dessert or a coffee! Circulate & give to at least one person in the thread if you have the means 💜

This is the only virtual event I have scheduled for Pride, so if you haven't been able to see me live, darling, see me on that screen this is gonna be a fun one

Public libraries are magical. Writers who live in NYC or use NYC libraries please sign this letter to Mayor Mamdani, urging him to actually fulfill his campaign promise of committing 0.5% of the city’s annual budget to its public libraries. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

I went to my local wine shop, purchased a mid range bottle of champagne, put it in the fridge to chill, and will open it when it happens. And every day I open the fridge and see that bottle I will remember it might happen today, or it might not. But it will definitely happen some day.

I haven't done any pride-ish promotion this month but if you're trans, nonbinary, queer, or simply chill you could do worse than treating yourself to some funny, award-winning Regency romances

My newsletter got a bit spicy this week buttondown.com/charliejane/...

every flyer I get from the Espaillat campaign makes her sound more and more based tbh

because @julianwinters.bsky.social said it was camp I went to go see Masters of the Universe with my wife and while I can't say it's a GOOD film it was at least trying to say something amid all the nostalgia pandering which, for a summer blockbuster with like 8 giant companies attached, is pretty OK

Sir Ian McKellen.

Saturday, July 25 I'll be at the Union Square B&N's Festival of Authors. Tix for the Romance session are up now: www.eventbrite.com/e/bn-union-s...

hey I gotta cover-shaped thing to share within the next week or so. if you don't want to miss it, best subscribe to the newsletter buttondown.com/tjalexander

There's been a lot of discussion over the years of whether Livingston did or did not take advantage of the people she filmed for Paris & I think there's a conversation to be had about how best artists can support the subjects of their work. I also think you should watch this film once a year minimum

I'm at the Lost Boys intermission winning lammys

finished drafting the thing I used to really want to write so I can now work on the NEW thing I really want to write and I'm sure I won't ever feel differently about it in 3-6 months

You can tell Mamdani what you think about this here: www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

The AG is wrong. Protect libraries as the public good that they are. Licensing to libraries is already onerous for the libraries. Libraries are no enemy here.

thank you! I know histroms used to feature bathing machines quite a lot but I suspect that genre expectation fell by the wayside to make room for more heterosexually expedient moments, but as with many things, queer people can make them cool again if we exert our will

Finished it today, motherfucker

if i don't finish this manuscript by Friday I'll (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) reluctantly crouch at the starting line. engines. pumping. and thumping in time

feeling old today, knee hurts, elbow hurts, back hurts, and I have to channel the energy of two fictional 22-year-olds. but I will succeed because I am silly

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

To be fair, I'm basically mangling that excellent speech by Lana Wachowski about opening doors to worlds previously unimaginable which I should definitely credit every time I open my damn mouth
