A v kind (and v hot) human named Mandy gave me this book at a gay bar in Denver when I was but a smol 23-year-old baby queer trying to find my way. While it took me a few tries to finish due to how gut-wrenching it is, I absolutely inhaled it once I decided to commit.
Leslie Feinberg writes with piercing clarity, humanity, and ferocity. Zie/She makes me so proud to be queer, and so, so, so immensely grateful to those in the community who came before me. Whether or not you identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, this is truly a must-read.Ā

which is something i never like to do but itās easier in this case bc one is a poetry/lyric book. iām reading If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin (my first from him since iām only recently getting back into reading a lot) and itās been pretty good. 90 pages in but definitely not far enough to give any concrete opinions. for sure very engaged by it though, and i would recommend since i like Baldwinās writing style. iām also not done with but still lovinggg the Leonard Cohen Everymanās Library Pocket Poets edition. been so obsessed with Cohenās writing/music recently. itās a very good compilation and i plan on buying it in the future!

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERāS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. š„³
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donāt have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOās page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereās always more power in a union!! āš„š¹
