Still catching up on 2025 reading. Love reading LGBTQ stories from other perspectives. We’re not all the same. Great work from @mikecurato.bsky.social

Thanks Jim!

Bravo @mikecurato.bsky.social, who was nominated for a @glaad.bsky.social Media Award today for his graphic novel Gaysians! It's such a great book.

We "try" to meet once a month, but it's more like "when is everyone in town?" Good news, is that @authorgracelin.bsky.social @mikecurato.bsky.social @studiojjk.bsky.social and I got to see each other before the year ended! Grace brought lottery tickets. Only one person won something.

Had a great time. What great audience ❤️

Banned Book Author @mikecurato.bsky.social shared his life story and his work to a captivated audience as part of Arlington Public Library's Celebrate the Freedom to Read program. A powerful (and funny), heart-felt, and honest discussion and which brought some of us to tears. Thank you, Mike!

And THAT is what keeps me up at night.

#TLSkyChat A2. I feel super protective of @mikecurato.bsky.social and all queer book creators whose work, literally, save lives. Imagine being so eager to preserve your own power that you're willing to sacrifice CHILDREN who are already constantly victims of a world that says they shouldn't exist.

We believe that every person, of every age, of every race, of every gender, no matter who they love, or where they live, should have access to books that reflect and expand their worldview. #UniteAgainstBookBans #BannedBooksWeek

Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼🌈❤️

This felt to me like a modern, Asian version of Queer As Folk - the Russell T. Davies TV series is even referenced by the characters.
This book should turned into a TV series.
