Coming in VERY late for Pride Month since I haven't been on BlueSky since mid-May but I am, after all, lesbian all year round! And here's a fantastic selection of queer books in every color of the rainbow if you're planning to read queer all year.

If you're interested in postcolonial Christianity that is queer-embracing, critiques settler colonialism, and challenges patriarchal hegemony, did you know that Kwok Pui Lan has a weekly Substack? open.substack.com/pub/kwokpuil...

Three books on a green blanket, with the banner Cozy!: The keeper of magical things, can't spell treason without tea, and legends & lattes

One book on a green blanket, with the banner ...cozy?: The Seaglass Blade

One year ago today, brutal and racist Border Patrol raids began in Kern County, CA. They hunted down farm workers, violently detaining our union members and terrorizing our communities. This began a year of deadly force across the US that continues today. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Arrived in RDU from SFO last night thru roughest turbulence i've experienced 😭 if there are any airplane experts here, what is going on when it feels like the plane is being tossed around, and there is a loud roaring noise? Are the pilots gunning engines or is that the wind?

Finished the last full edit round of the sapphic epic fantasy book I'm planning to query, and good god I love my musician and mathematician who fight through every kind of betrayal to stand against the world.

Old style proofreading: the final frontier 🙃 It is really worth doing this even though I've gone over this mss so many times already. A few punctuation things, a few typos, and occasional unnecessary sentences or unclear dialogue tags add up!
