Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

This Banned Books Week is an excellent time to find queer creators whose work has been deplatformed due to payment processor nonsense, and buy from them direct. Folks, has your work been booted off Itch.io and other platforms? Post it below and share and let's buy some dang books, yeah?

HWA friends! I notice that that a few of the recommended reading list categories are a bit short so far. The Novel category looks healthy, but First Novel, Nonfiction, and Long Fiction are looking a smidge short. Have you suggested/nominated your favorite reads from this year?

CSP being pressed to take even just /kissing/ off their asset store and FA being told that plus sized characters are considered adult should be a giant waving red flag to folks. Sex workers have /always/ been right to say these policies never stop with 1 type of content. They always wanna ban more.
