Green cover with red text reading "Babel-17". Cream text reads "Samuel R. Delany" and "Think galactic--or your world is lost!". Below the text is a woman's head, she had dark hair and eyes, with planets, machinery and a humanoid figure behind her.
Title of book cover "Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others" by Sara Ahmed. The cover features a large table and chair in a field with tiny person next to it.
Rounded out January with Black #speculativefiction and #queertheory.
Babel-17, Samuel R. Delaney
(Imagery, queer themes, language as perception.)
Queer Phenomenology, Sara Ahmed
(Yet another reason why I love her work.)
These books = soothing the heart and brain in these heinous times.

Book cover: hot pink background with black text reading "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence by Adrienne Rich"
Book cover: a figure of a feminine head rendered in black ink is surfacing from green flames, two demon horns float above her head. The title reads "Herculine a novel Grace Byron"
2026 reads starting off strong and very sapphic with:
βCompulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existenceβ by Adrienne Rich #comphet #LesbianReads
and Herculine by @emotrophywife.bsky.social, a swirling #QueerHorror tale, read for demons and babes.

A laptop showing Dr. Surekha Davies (on the right side of the screen) talking about her book Humans A Monstrous History (a red cover with a mirror in the center surrounded by various monsters' black figures). In the foreground, a black sketchbook and large, clear mug of tea. The laptop is sitting on a light wooden table.
Spent last night watching @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social talk monsters, andβno Borgs involvedβassimilated some of my besties into fans.
Thank you for your sharing your work and middle of the night time with us. #ThisIsWhyIStudyMonsters

A meme showing a deer with small antlers at night reading "I'm rarely a hater but when I hate, my hate comes from a place of ethics, nuance, and critical analysis"
A good meme is worth a 1,000-word critical explanation.
<3 for sharing @sonjadedm.bsky.social, I rarely feel so seen.

Late to the chat but deleted my IG this year and usually just use social media for talking about books. How's progress toward that reading goal?
