30-ish teen librarian. She/her. Aro/ace. Random things I find hilarious, interesting, or aggravating, plus the books, shows, and art I’m currently obsessed with.

I love these so much.
This is how I feel about everything I do in my life. Sign up all excited to do it or accept an invitation from a friend, then wait in misery or terror until it is time to do the thing, and if I have not panic-cancelled, drag myself out the door only to end up enjoying the thing. What is wrong with me.
Any suggestions for LGBTQ literature?

Lots. So many. But in a desire not to overwhelm you…
Armistead Maupin is one of the finest American writers of the last fifty years, and his Tales of the City sequence is an astonishing view of life mostly in San Francisco since the 1970s. Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Bi, and straight characters, in a novel sequence of astonishing immediacy (immediate because the first half dozen books were written as weekly instalments in a daily newspaper).
Currently it’s a sequence of nine books. You can also get them in some places in three collections of three books each.
Enjoy.
stopping the movie to read the joke :D
HEY! So if you missed my talk last night, or don’t feel like watching an hour-long speech on Instagram, I’ve distilled the most important points and turned them into this infographic. These points were largely informed by the work of multicultural education expert, Robin DiAngelo, PhD, who specializes in white racial literacy. If you feel like digging deeper, her work is incredibly illuminating and in my opinion, should be required reading for every white American.

And thank you to all who did show up last night. It was a hard speech to muscle through and your presence helped so much. ❤️
ADDENDUM: We are also embarking on Pride month. If you are straight and cisgendered, you can also adapt and integrate these principles to make the world safer for members of the LGBTQIA+ community who also endure discrimination, violence, and trauma and deserve equality and justice. Pride and the fight for black lives are entwined.
