We couldn't make it to our local bookstores @mainbooksin.bsky.social and @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social today for National Independent Bookstore day, so I placed an order through @bookshop.org and have two new queer books coming soon! Support indie bookstores any way you can ❤️

Every time I see a small business using AI flyers I cringe and lose a little bit of respect. It's not that hard to make a flyer, and all the AI ones kind of look the same in a weird live, laugh, love kind of way.

Over on tiktok we had a viral post about Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees with 1.5 million views that has likely brought in A LOT of sales, but want to guess how many we've sold at OUR indie shop? Just FIVE. In 2 months of it being viral, & with so many commenting about how they just bought it. 😭

Next time you have an idea that seems too crazy, just remember that John Woo once walked into an office and said "I wanna make a movie where Nick Cage plays John Travolta playing Nick Cage, and John Travolta plays Nick Cage playing John Travolta," and someone wrote him a check for 80 million dollars

One of the things I think people don't understand is that you only need 2% of people to be actively committed anti trans people to wildly outnumber, outpace and out power 1% who are trans if the other 97% are ambivalent. Ambivalence about human rights is a problem.

So I have been promoting this like crazy to friends but by coincidence this weekend I read Banned Book Club by @ryanestrada.com and it gave me some great context around the history of Korean democracy that was helpful in understanding the broader implications of what happened yesterday. 📚👀 #booksky

Book cover for Banned Book Club by Hyun Sook Kim, Ko Hyung-Ju and Ryan Estrada. The cover is illustrated and depicts Hyun Sook in the foreground and student protestors in the background with banners and masks. Around the title text there are black redaction bars.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Speaking of books with lesbians in them, Private Rites released today! If you want a very queer King Lear retelling that doubles as dystopian eco-fiction, this book is for you!

People tend to romanticize dusty bookshops filled almost entirely with old books, and yes, it's still a room full of books, but every time I go to one like that I am thinking about who is missing in all those pages. All the women and BIPOC folks and queer people. I want to hear those voices.

The Supreme Court case tomorrow is fundamentally not about gender affirming care, it's about whether or not trans people have any protections under the 14th amendment. A loss in this case would greenlight a torrent of explicitly discriminatory legislation without much, if any judicial recourse.

Way too many people think of community as "me and all of my friends helping each other." You will not always like everyone you are in community with. You will need to support them at times, and at other times you will have to rely on them. You will still not like them. Community isn't about like.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
