A whole range of books -- from anthologies on gay and lesbian SF, to Diaman's The Fourth Wall, to established LGBTQ authors like Delany, Pollack, Scott, etc.

Looks like our chances at spotting the aurora in North America last night fizzled out...but there might be a chance tonight!

NOAA's G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm watch is still active, and the aurora could be visible further south than normal!

Are you going to try to catch the lights later?
