similarly, if someone's getting into a band you like or watching a movie you love for the first time

your life will be better if you are not condescending and mean about it

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀

LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF
A banner that reads OLDER LGBT SCIENCE FICTION: A DATABASE in big letters, and tinyurl.com/oldgaySF in smaller print below. The background is an orange-tinted retro-looking photo of a row of radio telescopes.

Portals to Happiness
Snippet from the short story Portals to Happiness by Oakley Moran. "But the whales and the worms do not truly matter for what the girl had meant to ask was this: How are you supposed to know if you want to be anything more than what you are if you've never even once been told that what you are is enough?" The text is centered over a gray rectangle on a background of the ocean and the sky at twilight.

only the stars
Snippet from The Constellations We Leave Behind, a sci-fi horror work in progress by Oakley Moran. "Only the stars then are left behind to hear the distant, plaintive cries of the astronaut now so far beyond their reach. They weep with her, for the universe can be an awfully vast and lonely place." The text is centered over a blue rectangle on a background of the universe.

How do you come back from the end of the world?
Snippet from Angels Drowning, a pseudo-historical supernatural romance novel work in progress. She plucked two silver coins from her pouch as she stood and handed them to the barkeep. “For the food, a room, and a true meal for the boy.” He held the silver to the lamp-light for a moment, gazing at the translucent green algae coalescing around its ridges, before nodding his approval. She shuffled towards the stairs and the bed that awaited her. Fleeting dreams of long lost loved ones returned to her and her life before God-hood were all she had left for time immemorial. How do you come back from the end of the world? Well, it was really quite simple. You don’t. Text is centered in a blue rectangle over a background of a stock photo of the ocean.

an angel meets death / girlhood / is this love?
Paper bag finger painting in pink and purple depicting the vague figure of a headless angel with several blue eyes and large wings. A dripping hand reaches out towards the angels neck. Paper bag finger painting of a hand scratching through blood. Dark shadows surround the edges and the word girlhood is written in the lower left corner. Paper bag finger painting of two wolves devouring eachother in a puddle of blood and guts and gore and viscera.

a poem for myself tomorrow by oakley moran there’s an ocean within me a profoundness of prophecy indecipherably alive i feel i feel so much every cell of every being interconnected a threaded tapestry tangled fingers laced together will you hold me as i sleep don’t make me cradle your corpse sobbing, head thrown back in horror salty tears watering the earth a worm dies of dehydration you ate too well and lived too much said no one ever except the kings i want to learn it all to feel everything and nothing when it all gets to be too much i stretch into the future and pull you through with me

a hand-width apart
a hand-width apart by oakley moran afflicted by girlhood i emerged stumbling from a well covered in blood whale, whale, whale i pluck stars from the heavens and place them in my eyes orbital bones orbiting suns they’ll never see, never know – to feel and touch and be and breathe parasite lodged between the rib bones of a universe taking and taking and taking seven finger spaces down from the heart a hand-width apart, if only it were the hand of a god girl fucked up dog hurling and snarling and howling and frothing at the mouth of the river sea foam churned up from the depths of the abyss inside your soul, agitated into existence you scream and it falters

Someone asked:

"So... public domain cosmic horrors that aren't Lovecraft. What do we got?"

The tradition that gave us Lovecraft & co. is rich and deeply weird. While they aren't all cosmic horror, they all informed it.

So. 1 like = 1 public domain weird story that isn't by H. P. Lovecraft.

Imagination is necessary for collective liberation.

We can only create a better world if we imagine it first.

Create. Dream. Wish.
Do it out loud.
As loud as possible.

That’s how you find those who share your vision, who you can work with to change the world, to make the vision into reality.
