A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

What a delightful human and writer. And nobody’s done more for caves and cats in literature.
I make a little cameo on this, a great look behind the scenes at the whistle goblins
This entire clan gives Leni vibes—and of course we’ve got an Olympics coming up!
@michaelluongo.bsky.social I miss you!! Thanks for sharing this.
Playbill for Liberation on the left, Prince Faggot on the right.
As a #novelist I treasure the marriage of idiosyncratic dialogue and unspeakable thought. Plays that break the fourth wall get this sensibility. Liberation and Prince Faggot are two to learn from. And they’re both poignant & hilarious too! #writingcommunity #theatre #dramaticwriting
Yes! They weave magic into the daily. Well said.
I barely listened to #audiobooks until I made one, and now I’m hooked. I agree with the NYPL’s head librarian: it’s different than reading a book but a charm in itself. I think of it as an additive, why increased accessibility benefits us all. #booksky

Nightwood is not a feel-good book but it saved my life. Thanks to the folks at @thisqueerbook.com for talking #queer cult classics old and new. #books #queerbooks #booksky #lesbiannovel #sapphicbooks

Hello #booksky
I’m celebrating the 25th anniversary reissue of my queer cult classic novel with a conversation about a favorite queer cult classic, Nightwood. So much gratitude to This Queer Book Saved My Life for the Opportunity! #queerbooks #litfic #sapphicbooks #booktalk #books #literature
Beautiful! That rabbit!! And nodded off…wow.
Ouch.
I love color. Yours is intricate. How long did that take?
White woman, curly hair, forearm tattoos.
OMG, that’s gorgeous! Love us elder tattoo folk. Right arm is 48; left 50. Planning something now for 60 next year.
Totally agree. Great list this year. Admittedly, I haven’t a lot of it yet, but for the year overall Orbital and Martyr! are sticking with me long after reading.
I can get crabby about the big awards but Orbital is an odd little gem of a novel. Gorgeous and hypnotic. The cure for SpaceX overload. #BookerPrize #writing
