Such devastating news. My condolences to you, Wendy.
5 women authors by whom I’ve read at least 5 books:
- Octavia E. Butler
- Toni Morrison
- N. K. Jemisin
- Margaret Mahy
- Q Hayashida
Photograph of bookshelf at the Boston Public Library in the fiction section. The plaque on the shelf reads: “FA - FO, Organized by Author’s Last Name. FICTION,” indicating where in the alphabetized part of the fiction section we’re in.
Not the Boston Public Library telling me to fuck around and find out in the fiction stacks. 🤭 Don’t mind if I do
Ugh. This is awful news. The Bezos Gazette is making a huge mistake giving you the ax, Michael.
Stubborn ASS? Well, at least I’m consistent
Aww, she’s adorable. Let’s hear it for the cat daddies out there
You did the damn thang, @blaqueword.bsky.social! So glad you’re here to document the new Black digital arts movement, because it takes us to keep the history about us. Like they say: Pics or it didn’t happen. You wrote an entire book. We are the culture. High five to you on publication day! 👋🏽💥👋🏽
FINALLY! US history from a Black queer perspective. I’ve been waiting on this installment for a minute. @crileysnorton.bsky.social and Darius Bost really came through and did us a solid by writing it. Happy publication day, you two! Y’all werked it and slayed! 🙌🏽🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I sat through season 1 of SEVERANCE and decided not to continue with season 2 after growing impatient with the world building and mystery box format. When Honest Trailers said it was like J. J. Abrams wrote THE OFFICE—looking at you, LOST—I felt vindicated in not getting strung along.
So did I. I’m not a mature person, either 🤭
One panel comic with one person saying to another: Philip K Dick, Ray Bradbury. Like so many others in tech, I draw inspiration from completely misunderstanding those authors

Yes! Library of America posted the video on YouTube.
And thanks to @libraryofamerica.bsky.social for hosting their talk and for recognizing Butler’s important place in the US literary tradition! 🙏🏽 3/3
Will hit differently. As post-apocalyptic adventure stories, the books bring up a sobering point of what options we limit ourselves to when we’ve brought ourselves to the brink of self-destruction. (Do we really want extraterrestrials to save us?) Thanks for the insight, Profs. Perry and Due! 🙏🏽 2/3
A black laptop whose monitor shows the live feed of Prof. Tananarive Due, left, and Prof. Imani Perry, right, sharing the screen as they discuss Octavia E. Butler’s Xenogenesis trilogy.
Watching @imaniperry.bsky.social and @tananarivedue.bsky.social talk about Octavia E. Butler—master of the gray area, master of discomfort, aka my matron saint 👑—was my jam last night. 🙏🏽They reminded me that I’m long overdue for another reread of her Xenogenesis trilogy. Reading it now 1/3
The 🍉. It’s a texture thing
Absolutely adored the TV series, so when word got out that the original play it’s based on was at @huntingtontheatre.bsky.social, of course I had to go. So wonderful to see the OG vision. 🤌🏽
A story in the parts
A story in three parts
That makes sense, especially the part about versness being queerness within queerness. Existing outside that binary. Like, isn’t that the point of being queer? To be unbothered by the binary? I always thought it was lol.
Apart from internalized homophobia, do you think the slander comes from envy? Envy that vers men don’t have the hetero hangups and are unbothered? That vers men choose joy rather than violence?
You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state
My mood around all the open-mouth coughers. Also why I’ll keep my mask on in public 😷
In Alien Earth, a guy is typing "crew dead" on a computer and the words are reflected on his face, but they aren't reversed like they should be. For readabilty I guess. They should've used a palindrome instead, so we can still read it backwards. "Ya won, evil aliens. Is neil alive? no way"
There is too much yay in this pic! Love seeing you both in it 🤩
A friend and I were saying the other day that there’s no such thing as a total top, only a gay man who’s closed off to joy. I still stand by that 💪🏽
Hadn’t realized that someone had posted this here but this really was one of my finer bangers from the old place
I legit laughed out loud at this 🤣🤣🤣
TIL Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense in a Chipotle
