Seeing the hate for Gal Gadot and her acting is deeply disappointing…we can do better. We can be meaner…I know it. #boycottsnowwhhite2025

Trans Rights Readathon @trreadathon.bsky.social · 20/03/2025
Hi, friends! A few days ago, we shared an IG📸 post from an author who was unwillingly outed by readers in 2023. We have a few notes we want to share for how to keep the readathon safe and successful for everyone. 💕 #trr25 #transrightsreadathon
Slide 1: Trans Rights Readathon Social Etiquette.Slide 2: What and Who is This Post For? This post is a reminder for us all on how to respectfully participate in the Trans Rights Readathon, whether this is your first time on bookish social media, you are an ally, or you simply have any hesitation on the “right” way to participate respectfully.Slide 3: DON’T OUT AUTHORS. First and foremost, the Trans Rights Readathon supports trans folks and wants to minimize harm to real people. In years past, authors have felt pressured and obligated to out themselves to readers in order to be included in the Readathon.
Because we never want to forcibly out an author, we promote books that are written by trans+ authors OR feature trans+ main characters. Do not ask or pressure authors to disclose details of their identity that are not already public.Slide 4: Think Before You Review (especially if you are cisgender!) Before you rate a book negatively, ask yourself:
• Is there a reason I “don’t relate” to this story?
• What is my intention in posting a negative review right now? Can it wait a few weeks?
• What are my trans peers saying about this same book?
Especially ask yourself these questions for intersectional trans stories, such as books by BIPOC authors if you are a white reader.

Heartbroken this morning tbh. The #womensprize is such a big part of my reading year and I am devastated to see Adichie nominated. If your prize is celebrating the stories of women everywhere and a nominee doesn't believe trans women are women, what does that say about your view of women? #booksky

2 Spirit and Trans people are sacred. And it was Indigenous pedagogy that taught me that. 2 Spirit/ trans and queer people held positions of authority in their communities on Turtle Island prior to and during contact with Europeans. They were healers, educators and spiritual leaders.

My autistic daughter has made many a strange and odd gestures while stimming or jumping and playing…oddly, none of which look like a Yahtzee salute. She’s five. I’m confident in the future, she can continue to not fucking do that. Also, stop using the name Asburgers, it makes you look dumb.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Ableism teaches us to abandon each other. Racism will disable you. Transphobia will disable you. Long COVID will disable you. Genocide will disable you. Climate change will disable you. Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable. Resistance & communities must be rooted in disability justice.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges. Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition. Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

A reminder that 37 towns & villages have been completely erased by Israel in Lebanon. Ethnic cleansing in action Most of this destruction is in south Lebanon. No wonder then that there are those who call for reoccupation and resettlement. Intentions clear www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...
