this is bad
Aaah! Thank you! thatβs very kind!
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!
This is truth tho
I freaking love this book!
Oh thanks for this! Iβm forever preaching the gospel of libraries soβ¦ xo
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 Petersβ new book Stag Dance? I donβt believe in great American novelists but I do believe in Torrey Peters!
I really dislike how these contests pit us against each other, but Iβm wildly flattered to be thought of by you, one of my all-time favorite writers! Also, thatβs a great interview! π₯°
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."

Hi! Yes! I really struggled with where to submit Paul & ended up with Bisexual Fiction because it felt like the queerest category and still does even though it does not describe my own experience particularly well.

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 β 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)
Oh that sucks! Yes, I reported & blocked.
Every state could do this.
