It's Friday! Your assignment this weekend: Hang out in a bookstore or library. Spend time with the books. Chat with the booksellers & librarians. Enjoy the community. This is activism. Your presence energizes these spaces & these spaces need energy. Have a great weekend!

Unsurprisingly, Gender Queer is on this list. I'm so frustrated that Canadian teachers, students, and librarians are having to deal with this same shit we're dealing with here in the US. Canadian authors you can join @authorsabb.bsky.social !

"There’s the gagging ouroboros of history... you’re beating your fists against a wall that bears the indents of countless fists, going back forever." Over in Autostraddle, I write about queer generational trauma: how it works, and how to tell stories about it. www.autostraddle.com/what-is-quee...

Library workers–have you already experienced pushback, censorship, or attacks on your plans for Pride 2025? I'm again collecting those stories for an article in mid-July. I'll share this link throughout June as well. Details in the form, w/ previous stories. tinyurl.com/pride-in-libraries-25

The four books flagged as inappropriate for school libraries are Blankets, Flamer, Fun Home, and Gender Queer. Folks in Alberta, Canada can share their opinion on book banning here before June 6: www.alberta.ca/school-libra...

Liquid by Mariam Rahmani was my favorite “clearly written by an MFA” book, because of its addressing, immediately, the uncomfortable aspects of power, class, loss, history and burnout in academia, as well as the importance of connection. It tries to push away even as it seeks to be witnessed.

My next novel is about a grumpy dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon riding academy. So here is my auction item: I'll tuckerize the winning bidder as a dragon rider in the book. I love my trans siblings. www.32auctions.com/organization...

I was really hoping SC would rethink its horrible book banning law but they did not. Today, Last Night at the Telegraph Club joins 9 more books that are banned statewide in South Carolina, making SC the #1 state in statewide bans, with 21 titles banned overall. This is a travesty and a tragedy.

I have a long enough memory about internet flame wars to remember that attempt by TERFs to claim Pratchett as their own for the absolute nonsense reasons. So I daresay I feel a certain satisfaction from the 1stEd signed Monstrous Regiment being the centrepiece of our auction.

Wow, this is my open letter that was texted to John Lithgow. I knew it was a long shot that he'd see it and an even longer shot that he'd walk away. But I'm glad I tried.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀 LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF

At the link below, you can learn about the case being argued at SCOTUS today, which will surely impact LGBTQ+ kids and families, and may also be devastating to authors of LGBTQ+ books in general. I'm not exactly optimistic, but you never know. I'm aiming to not be depressed in advance.
