need more queer books in your life? mad at all the book bans? wish you could read books about people actually like you?

the Queer Books Database is a free, online searchable database that lists queer rep in over 2,500 fiction and 500 non-fiction books! you can filter by age, genre, year, and specific identity–including race, disability, mental illness, and neurodivergence

here’s some ideas of what you can search for:

• a legal thriller featuring a bisexual transgender woman or a sci-fi with a disabled black gay man
  
• Young Adult, Middle Grade, and Children’s books in both fiction and non-fiction titles
  
• classic queer lit from 1872 to 1956 (Carmilla to Giovanni’s Room)
• biographies of famous historical and modern activists, musicians, athletes, immigrants, and writers
• supportive spiritual texts and guidance from community leaders (filter by fifteen different religions!)
  
• representation for LGBT identities under the “plus,” characters of color, fat rep, neurodivergence, older characters, questioning and closeted characters, religious identity, disabled characters–and more!

check with your local library to find these titles or ask about Inter-Library Loans to grab one from a library nearby! this really helps support libraries, authors, and me, an autistic transgender librarian :)

FINALLY something better than google when I need to buff up our collection!

New chess piece:

THE TROLLEY

A trolley is headed towards all 8 of your pawns. You can pull the lever to change the track and divert the trolley towards the opposing side’s pawns, but is it truly ethical to selectively save only those whose ideologies align with yours the most? Is it truly ok for you to decide who should live or die in this situation? Furthermore, would it really be fair to put the opponent at such a disadvantage just because you went first?

Where did the extra white pawn come from

Well you see, when a mommy pawn and a mommy pawn love each other verrrry much, they perform “Mom Passant” and the excess energy gets converted into a new pawn

40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

no one butchered tongue posting? no one crying about the preservation of native languages or lack thereof? no one emotional about what it means to lose your language to colonial violence and have it only preserved through place names you can’t translate any more? I’m going to kill someone
