The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

Text: From the peerless master of contemporary fantasy comes a tale of three cousins and the world of creatures, ghosts, and murderers that surrounds their trailer park. Illustrated throughout with comics pages!
Maisie: hasn't gotten her life back on track since her best friend died and she saw Owl, harbinger of ill tidings and doom.
Joel: Streaming prodigy with questionable decision-making who's been exiled to a summer of kitten fostering.
Verona: will do anything to leave their trailer park behind, even watch a house she knows is haunted.
Owl: son of Big Owl, who can't help who he is, or how much he cares about these aforementioned humans.
Their four stories intertwine with a ghost bent on justice, an adorable feline Animal Person, and a vengeful monster headed straight for them in this singular YA fantasy novel from Newbery Honor-winning Darcie Little Badger.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of powerβ€”to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformityβ€”is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Something I wanted to say when I started this but that got lost in the writing of the thread is that...

Burson is from 1972. A right to keep a driver's license once issued isn't new.

Very much not the point but listing sex at birth on a document meant to identify you right now is utterly useless from a security standpoint. but of course this is about cruelty and forced outing of queer private lives.

Beloved is a gothic horror book
YouTube video by Cherree Beloved is a gothic horror book

I've long thought of Beloved as a work of gothic horror, so it was heartening to have this video pop up in my suggestions recently. I may as well ride out the rest of this Black History Month with horror. There's a folder on a hard drive around here...

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!

Due to the sudden closure of the small press publishing our anthology, we're looking for a new home!

"Silk and Foxglove" is a BIPOC anthology of 13 stories of erotic-eco-horror! It's weird, gorgeous, evocative, & unnerving as hell!

Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!

I know this will probably have asshats in my mentions again, but periodic reminder that everything happening now has a precedent. And that precedent is closer than slavery, internment, boarding schools, Jim Crow...it is the very modern school to prison pipeline. It is the last 40 years of policy.
