I have an insatiable craving for literature that is unapologetically queer. MINIMAL Highschool/religious trauma/unrequited push-and-pull plot. Give me passion, give me found family, give me "we're just people who happen to be queer and happy about it". I read "Detransition, baby" and "Stag Dance", the former fit the bill perfectly, the latter was cool too. 1/3 into Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth right now, but it's not the confident queerness I'm looking for. I NEED MOREEE

I sympathize with why Wynn-Williams stayed on as long as she did, but her staying on and helping (even halfheartedly) with Facebook's international policy problems materially contributed to my country being run into the ground by a godsawful president. Actually not JUST my country, but many others too, including the US.

I’m about halfway through and it might be that the font in this book is tiny and I’m dyslexic, but it’s starting to feel like a slog. I won’t give up on it, I just feel this isn’t going to be one I come back to

what’s been the best book you’ve read this year, so far? i love it when a book sneaks up on you and unexpectedly - any surprises? my current top two are blood over bright haven (ml wang) and masters of death (olivie blake). when starting blood over bright haven i was pretty confident i would like it, but masters of death was a complete surprise!

just a rave post about how great libraries are! i’ve just joined one for the first time since i was a kid, and i’ve recently moved to a city so the organisation of libraries is just 1000 times better than where i was before. and i just love it. like what do you mean i can place holds on a bunnnnch of books im dying to read, and then get a cute little email when one of them is ready, for free??? amazing a book ive wanted to read for literally ever has just arrived at my local library for me and i genuinely can’t wait to go and pick it up 😅 so a post about how great libraries are, and if you have one near you, go sign up!!!

is it me or is there some romantic tension between Rika and Reiko????

I’m considering rereading this cause of the summer readalong. Also, when I last read this I was way younger so I’m kind of curious how my perspective of this book has changed over the last couple years. And ofc looking at the current political climate I feel this book is as relevant as ever.
