Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Wow, Feed Them Silence by Lee Mandelo was such a great emotional read for me. I immediately put on hold Summer Sons and The Woods All Black. All because I read 'Anything with a Void at the Center' on Uncanny and was like, "I need to read more from Lee, this was written in a style I love."

Re-upping this (and I am sorry geolocking media means the deal is available to USA only). But if you are in the USA, it's a great deal on a weird and quite dark book, running through 30 April.

As part of an indefinite suspension, Columbia’s administration effectively evicted a student from her housing in the middle of the night after her arrest for leading a peaceful protest on campus, affording her only 15 minutes to pack her room. Makes a mockery of their homilies about student safety.

It is worth stating plainly what happened at Columbia: the raid was l the product of collusion between a university administration and rightwing politicians to suppress politically disfavored speech.

Once again, your periodic reminder that Benjanun Sriduangkaew / Requires Hate / Winterfox is not a safe person to confide in and is targeting young and inexperienced trans writers who may not be aware of their history of extremely toxic behaviour. It is not safe to interact with this person.

"Mutual combat" is an absolutely abhorrent, disgusting, inexcusable way to describe the circumstances surrounding the loss of an indigenous trans child who was bullied to death as a direct and desired result of adults forging a hateful, nationwide crusade against literal children.
