Look, I know not everybody loves applying tropes to traditionally published books, but I actually do because I have very specific needs and maybe you do too #booksky #queerbookworms
A graphic for the book of wild radiance lists out some book tropes, including electricity based magic system, queer normative world, flirting while arguing, class warfare, only one bed, relationship, anarchy, embracing violent rage, grump/sunshine/gremlin OT3, flirting well wound, tending, rescuing, our boyfriend, fierce, anti-capitalism, messy exes. The cover is orange and blue and red and features a young woman with short hair in silhouette.

Pulled this from the NYT article. It seems pretty cut and dry about who was the threat and who was at risk.
Geoffrey Alpert, an expert on police use of force at the University of South Carolina, reviewed a video that captured the shooting at the request of The New York Times. “The way you evaluate this is you look to see what’s the imminent threat to life, and there is none,” he said. “She’s leaving.” “Look at the wheels on the car, they are turning to the right, and all he has to do is step out of the way,” he said, referring to the federal agent. “She’s jacking the wheels all the way to the right.” “This is what we call officer-created jeopardy,” Mr. Alpert added, noting that the first agent to approach the car had escalated the situation, whereas local police officers are generally trained to de-escalate tense confrontations. Jeremy Bauer, a forensics expert in Seattle who has testified in police shooting cases, also reviewed the video. He noted that the officer who fired his gun is obscured at certain points, making it hard to tell whether the car had ever made contact with him. The officer is positioned in front of the car before it starts to turn, he said. And the street was slippery with ice, giving the officer less control of his footing. That the officer fired more than once was also significant, Dr. Bauer said. “If you’re able to keep aiming at something that is moving by you, then you have some innate knowledge that it’s moving by you and not running over you,” he said.

Queer joy is resistance
You can remake yourself
Capitalism is violence
Disabled folks belong in the resistance

It’s wild to me that today’s kids will never know what it’s like to do a yaoi cosplay photoshoot in the stairwell of a con hotel and then have to get the instant camera photos developed at a pharmacy and go no no I don’t need to look through them just ring me up

If you’ve been looking for signed copies of Summer Sons or Amplitudes, I just did a few at the Barnes & Noble on Hurstbourne Lane in Louisville—give the store a call and snag one while they’re there!
