@schratze @berternste2 ART!

#InternationalWomensDay

To celebrate today, I am going to rec books authored by women, esp. LGBTQIA+ women, and because they are *so* often left out, our enby friends!

Some suggested fiction:

🔹️Sorrowland, Rivers Solomon. Imaginatively allegorical. There's nothing like this out there.

🔹️The Future of Another Timeline, Annalee Newitz. There are many time travel books, but none like this one. Also, check out both:
🔹️The Terraformers 🔹️Automatic Noodle especially if you are in need of hope for the future.

🔹️All The Birds in the Sky, Charlie Jane Anders. Paradigm-shifting SFF emphasizing connection in a time of technology.

🔹️Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story, Sarah Myer. Essential genderqueer coming of age graphic novel.

🔹️I Keep my Exoskeletons to Myself, Marisa Crane. Not just a great title. This is whip-smart satire about othering.

🔹️The Book of Love, Kelly Link. Weird fantasy magic-fueled fiction at its finest. Also check out:
🔹️White Cat, Black Dog: Stories. Is contemporary fabulism a thing? If so, Link perfected it.

🔹️In The Dream House, Carmen Maria Machado. Using every literary trope as a way to filter painful experiences? Pure genius.

Also, stories which examine how much pressure there is on women and girls to be thin:

🔹️They Don't Make Plus-sized Spacesuits, Ali Thompson

🔹️Starfish, Lisa Fipps

🔹️Milk fed, Melissa Broder

Sorry, my sex plane is grounded for repairs.

@smaurizi say it isn't so, Italy!

@jascha

. . . this one neat trick. ugh.

@masayuki60 That side expression is precious!

Fuck it. I'm having cheese ravioli for breakfast.

@stux that one guy is so smooth in his movements. Amazing.

@chris It is hard to refute this. The miltary doesn't deny it. A military veteran friend says it's a little like being on Death Row, a big meal but you understand what it means.

@MissingThePt nicely done.

@petergleick no wonder we all have hacking coughs.

@Szescstopni My previous next door neighbors moved TO Florida. I feel like if one has the opportunity, one should be moving OUT of Florida. Guess they like not being able to get house insurance in a hurricane state.

@ThePolishDispatch @wdlindsy So, you have to pay for fancy comfy detainmemt. Ugh.

@maddyteichmann @andypiper @_elena Welcome!

@tenzochris that is so great.

@futurebird It's awful to realize how many people aren't just awful, but relish it.

@marisa Oh wow. This hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you.

When I am talking about something important to me, I often am interrupted with "Can we talk about something else?!?"

@campuscodi When I was on FB, I tried reporting the scam ads, but they got their coin and didn't care. It's appalling.

@arstechnica they also want to bring back asbestos

@Thayer this is so wrong.
