4/?- WE WERE DREAMERS by @simuliu.bsky.social @harpercollins.bsky.social

🌈📚
the ever lovely simu liu, Chinese actor, sits on a stool with his hands folded. his eyes are fixed on something beyond the upper right corner of the cover. dressed casually in gray slacks, a white top,+ a navy bomber jacket. still, he is dreamy. the title across his chest + torso, subtitle just off his right hip. his name in all caps above his head this cover did not prepare me for how much i would sob thru almost every chapter of this book. i hope he has the best wedding + marriage in the universe. bravo, simu. the man you've become

🌈📚
dr jim swire's v british mug seeming to peer into the middle distance. the iconic smashed cockpit of pan am 103 that plummeted into the ground in lockerbie, scotland. what i imagine is the bottom of flora swire's face, murdered in the tragedy. this one was a fucking doozy. shout out to Colin Firth / Peacock for introducing thus mind boggling piece of history to me. always been freaked out about plane travel. this did not temper that. not one bit

13/?: IN THE WEEDS: AROUND THE WORLD AND BEHIND THE SCENES WITH #AnthonyBourdain by #TomVitale #Hachette

🌈📚
graphic, almost vector-like versions of Tony & Tom over an island that conjures the style of a graphic tee? there's a very small black airplane flying in front of a giant sun. the sun, Tony's shirt, & the island all match the words of the main title IN THE WEEDS. Tom is wearing black aviators & holding a walkie. white button down shirt, black pants, chest hair showing. Tony's bright red-orange button down is unbuttoned down to his sternum, a cartoon version of a tattoo poking out. black pants. what i imagine is his father's Rolex on his wrist

11/? THE MEMORY POLICE by #yokoogawa 🇯🇵 @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social, translation by stephen snyder

🌈📚
a photograph of an asian woman, covered with comic dots. it has a dark blue-gray hue. layered on top are scraps of what appears to be bold red crayon on a faint rose-pink paper. messy; as if drawn by a child. over the woman’s right eye: a gold seal, presumably belonging to the memory police. inside the emblem is a geometric shape that resembles an abstract flower. in the outer ring, it reads the title + the author’s name. my edition also has a blurb in the upper left hand corner + a NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST emblem in the upper right

if you see this, post your pride flags! 🌈
genderqueer flag. personally, i feel like my presentation + personality are pretty fluid and/or layered, even tho pronouns-wise i feel most aligned with she/her. although i don’t mind or feel dysphoria when a stranger he/hims me bc of my hair. i guess the only one i don’t think i can claim is they/them. has never called to me minromantic flag! me like masc, regardless of gender identity. masc women. cis men. trans men. non-binary folks who present masc or have masc personality traits. glad this definition exists bc panromantic always felt too broad… demisexual flag

comedian + writer colin jost in a denim button down shirt over a bright red-orange background. he is sporting his signature haircut: short on the sides + long top combed back in the front. only text is the title, A VERY PUNCHABLE FACE, his name, + “A Memoir.” truly, there are more punchable faces but he does definitely look like he was part of a frat in college. indeed, he wasn’t. but still

the way @ymmayer.bsky.social deals w/ her own humanity + humanity at large always makes me feel bigger + smaller, in all the best ways
screenshot from youngmi’s wa-po op-ed. she describes her co-host brian park discussing his performance-anxiety-induced ED, next to her saying it took her 33 years to admit she’s wanted to be a comedian her whole life. “issues like deep trauma, shame and guilt are rarely discussed in asian american families, and many people who had experienced them thought they were alone.” except we’re not, is what we’ve learned. collectively.

exclusive collector’s edition version of the cover. all type is stylized to look handwritten. on the right, love interest levi leans at the end of the title (as is his way). his lanky self is wearing a red flannel with the sleeves rolled. he’s smiling. (when is he not?) on the left, cath is wearing a green cardigan—glasses on, hair up. on her laptop, vampire baz + magician simon have hearts around them. this is her happy place. the overall background is a pale pink
