The incredible Huascar Medina featured my poem "The Gods Created Humans from Maize and Some Other Things I Know About Corn" on Poets on the Plains. His thoughtful reading elevates the poem in a way I did not and could not imagine. www.hppr.org/2026-09-17/p...

y’all really love queer books, huh? we’ve reached 100k checkouts so far in 2025, and we’re not even halfway through the year! 🌈📚 which of your QLL reads this year have resonated with you? what titles are you itching to read next? (big thanks to QLL volunteer @junkyjo.bsky.social for their art!)

An illustration of two blue-green outstretched hands on a light blue background, cradling a fuschia book with lavender headphones. The letters “QLL” are on the book cover. A wispy purple ribbon curls around the hands, framing them. Black handwritten text surrounds the hands, top and bottom: “100k CHECKOUTS IN 2025! PUTTING QUEER BOOKS WITHIN REACH”

ADHD is more than just quirky memes about your goblin friends. It's a disability, often a debilitating one, and it can be dangerous to live with a brain that doesn't necessarily hold onto relevant information like when that candle or stove was lit.
