Mormonism: the B Side
The A side of Mormonism is everything you've heard: homophobia, racism, sexism, and violent colonialism. The B Side is everything you don't see: the LGBTQ+ folks who are still among us, the anti-racist voices we've had since the beginning, deep pockets of Mormon feminism that have existed since before the ERA, and true reckonings with our violent past. The voices fighting for our people to have a different future.

Sapphic Nonbinary Transmasc Books
Books with a transmasc/enby character with a love interest with a woman may be primary or minor romance part of the story. But mostly just trying to create a list to read because most of the books I read with transmasc are romantically linked with men.

The songwriter’s dead
Nightwish is one of the greatest bands in history. One of the things that make the band the greatest is their songwriter Tuomas Holopainen. In my humble opinion, he is the best songwriter/poet of our time. His songwriting is heavily inspired by literature and poetry. These are a few of the books that inspired his songs and albums.The name of the list is a reference to the lyrics of their song, The Poet and the Pendulum. One of my all-time favorites.
