Since January of this year, US government websites have been removing any reference to trans and nonbinary identities---including the website for the Stonewall National Monument. Yes, that Stonewall. But we’re still here, and we’re not going anywhere.
An announcement graphic for the 2025 Trans Rights Readathon: #TRR25... Mark Your Calendars! Save the Date! 11 Days of Reading & Calls to Action. March 21-31, 2025. More info on how to sign up and participate coming soon!

New books! 📚

I’ve really slowed my book buying lately & I’m trying to use my public libraries and @queerliblib.bsky.social more.

When I do buy, I #SupportIndieBookshops. This latest spree supported @theloreok.bsky.social and Fulton Street Books (via Bookshop.org).

Have you read any of these?
Four books on black granite background. The Groundings with My Brothers by Walter Rodney. The Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. King: A Life by Jonathan Eig. Become Ungovernable: An Abolition Feminist Ethic for Democratic Living by HLT Quan.
