THEY KEPT A LIST. VOTERS KEPT RECEIPTS.

Help this guy out! We can think of lots of queer & trans books that did not get attention in the NYT from 2013-2022, I bet!

NEW: As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows and streamers, our analysis found that this expanding media ecosystem is overwhelmingly right-leaning.

Taking a moment from this stupid coup to be ridiculously flattered & also to say how great is Torrey Peters’ new book Stag Dance? I don’t believe in great American novelists but I do believe in Torrey Peters!

Fun!

This looks enormously useful and also it would be amazing if it could be connected to a posting system on bsky so that whenever it updates, bsky has a repostable post about it

But that's not all! @choosedemocracy.bsky.social also highlighted some other inspiring stories getting overlooked right now...

The White House backing away from its freeze on federal grants is a flat out win. As @choosedemocracy.bsky.social wrote in its email blast today: "It doesn't mean we will win every fight. But it does mean that anyone who is telling you it's hopeless is wrong."

Seriously

This does feel like excellent writing advice

mutual aid los angeles network (MALAN) has a megalist of resources across the southland: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... and they’re collecting donations in chatsworth: www.instagram.com/p/DElevTEyzVD/

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

I might get "not everyone understands or engages with political questions the same way, the diffs aren't random, & we get pols wrong if we forget that." on a t-shirt, actually. It's not a very GOOD t-shirt but it is important and the source of a lot of political mistakes & mistakes about politics.

alright lets do this — I'm the book content editor for Reactor and I'm looking for 2025 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and genre-bending speculative books! If you're a writer or a publicist with a YA or adult SFFH book out next year, please share the link/info here! (or email me)

Every state could do this.

Where do you get your intel about online QT literary events? I know about @ourweather.bsky.social's MEET ME THERE series, and also Sinister Wisdom's events, but I'd love to know if there's a list somewhere.... or if you know of anything great coming up, will you post it here or DM me?

Dudes this was extremely cool to wake up to!!!

This is fantastic!

Come watch Sally Potter's ORLANDO (1992) with me tonight at Amherst Cinema! 7pm amherstcinema.org/films-and-ev... & you can buy copies of a beautiful new edition of Woolf's ORLANDO & Tisa Bryant's UNEXPLAINED PRESENCE thanks to Amherst Books!
