Speaking of Trans authors, I recently read a pretty interesting article about Cipher, the indie publishing company publishes exclusively queer and trans literature to amplify work from underserved authors that is consistently overlooked by bigger publishers. lithub.com/life-giving-...

Real leaders used to "lean in" when entertainers went too far. Under no circumstances would "Pharrell" be allowed to double down on his stance if this were a different era.

it's a crime they never released this soundtrack
Brandy’s label didn't want to release it because they wanted to image her as a rnb urban artist, not a pop artist.

I purchased “Firstborn of the Sun”, by Marvellous Michael Anson a few weeks ago. I stayed up until almost 3:00 am reading this book. 185 pages later, I’m hooked! The world building, magical systems, and character development are chef's Kiss👌🏾.
