@wendypalmer I will check it out, thank you!

Tbf, I’m pretty oversaturated with Things Are Hard and So Many People Are Mean these days. At another time I might love this, and I can recognize that my reaction to the book is at least partly just a factor of how I’m feeling lately. Everyone’s very standoffish and mean, which will probably make the eventual romantic storyline land even more solidly! But at the moment I just want people being sweet to each other in my books.

I’m reading Navigational Entanglements by Ailette de Bodard for the #QueerRomanceClub and I am having a hard time getting into it. It’s a lot of politics, paired with a lot of people being unkind, and it’s not really working for me. I don’t mind being dropped into a new world without a lot of exposition, and I don’t mind challenging characters, but together it’s not giving me a lot to connect with. I’ll stick with it for a bit though. #AmReading #bookstodon @queerromanceclub

The UCP are going to make Albertans pay for the COVID19 vaccine. This is the “I respect your choice but shouldn’t have to pay for it” rhetoric along with misinfo. Zero reporting on #Indigenous Peoples’ Treaty right to healthcare cuz as my previous post shows, Albertans are racist.

A friend (
@teffeau.bsky.social
!) reminded me of this graphic which is so good... www.socialchangemap.com

So much of cultural change work is done outside the headlines and the limelight, before (and after!) the flashpoints, in ways no one sees or trumpets but is critical work.

If you have a fear and think "I'll never get over this. It's just how it is" that may not be true.

Learning more about what you fear, looking at it more closely, understanding it helps. It's not instant. Since I had learned all the facts but still felt scared I thought that I'd never get over it, but my brain just needed time to adapt. To have experiences where I freaked out less when seeing one, and observed instead.

And then over years the fear vanished.

@futurebird This really resonates for me. I have a lot of really intense fears that I know are not reasonable or rational, but it’s very hard to let go of them. I don’t know why my mind seems so prone to this. Sometimes making an intentional project out of facing that fear and learning that I can be okay has been such a significant act of reclaiming dignity. (Exhausting and lengthy, like you said it takes time for the brain to catch up to new knowledge.) Thanks for this thread.

@HornyShitposts I am so excited for this book, and I preordered the audio on Libro, but I’m reading queer books for pride month (which feels a liiiiiittle silly because I read pretty queer all year, but my brain is really stuck on this idea). Will I last all month or will the anticipation get to me? We shall see.

I’m listening to The Water Outlaws by SL Huang, and although I usually really like the narrator, Emily Woo Zeller, the voice she uses for Lu Da just makes me think of a cartoon character. This might be one of the rare times that I hop from audio to ebook (but maybe not, because I am already reading an ebook and I have limited brain. 2 audio + 1 written is my limit.) I am really enjoying the story, which is a gender bent retelling of a classic Chinese novel. #AmReading #bookstodon #QueerBooks

Saying everyone is either a man or a woman is like saying everyone is either right or left handed.

For most people it’s true. But some of us are ambidextrous, or cross-dominant (like me).

A rough binary that seems right at a glance will never cover everyone. The world is just more complex than that.

There ARE books I’m really looking forward to, like Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner, The Oleander Sword by Tasha Suri, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by VE Schwab, but they all feel like I need to be able to focus on them and I don’t have that right now. And I’m saving the new Mossa and Pleiti by Malka Older for an airport listen later this month.

I have started and stopped at least five books in the last day because nothing is the right vibe. I want it to be queer and I want it to counteract the absolute horror of watching the world right now, because I need my book to be the little buffer between when I look at what’s happening in the world and when I sit down to try and do some work. Which I am trying to do. Is this when I become a rereader? Maybe. Maaaaybe. (Maybe not.)

@older @quidcumque I’m very confident I will - the series so far has just been so lovely and calming to read. I can trust that there will be interesting reflections on power and justice, some nice moments with food and tea, some very mature navigating of tricky situations, some Feelings (but in a restrained and thoughtful kind of way). So soothing to read, especially when the world is so terrifying and vicious. I recommend them often!

it *is* spiritually healing to repair and mend stuff. I think it's the little rebellion of us being put in a world where things are made to not last, and then you go and make them last anyway

@quidcumque @older I am so excited to read this one!!

@cathos It’s so tough figuring out the right path. I am sending care. I hope you’re able to rest eventually and your mind gives you a bit of a break so that you can keep figuring out what feels like the right thing to do. (Or not do.)

I just finished Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland and it was such a good time. It was *by far* the horniest book I have ever read that contained zero actual sex. There were so many sex jokes. It was so joyfully and playfully queer. Julian was delightful, Avra was incredibly annoying (complimentary), Tev was emo and dramatic and I love them. The narrator was also great. If you like pirates, slapstick humour, and ridiculous shenanigans, I recommend. #AmReading #bookstodon #QueerBooks

@salad_bar_breath Thank you. I really appreciate the care and the understanding. 🫂
