I've had some good news but I can't quite share just yet because organizations like to make announcements on their socials first. It's not a book or anything like that but it is literature ๐ and #farmworker ๐ฉโ๐พ related.

"In your temporary failure there is no evidence that you may not yet be a better scholar, and a more successful man in the great struggle of life, than many others, who have entered college more easily." - Abraham Lincoln, Letter to George Latham, 1860
An illustration of two blue-green outstretched hands on a light blue background, cradling a fuschia book with lavender headphones. The letters โQLLโ are on the book cover. A wispy purple ribbon curls around the hands, framing them. Black handwritten text surrounds the hands, top and bottom: โ100k CHECKOUTS IN 2025! PUTTING QUEER BOOKS WITHIN REACHโ
yโall really love queer books, huh? weโve reached 100k checkouts so far in 2025, and weโre not even halfway through the year! ๐๐
which of your QLL reads this year have resonated with you? what titles are you itching to read next?

It's a disability, often a debilitating one, and it can be dangerous to live with a brain that doesn't necessarily hold onto relevant information like when that candle or stove was lit.

when the time comes & this bill has a number or is rolled into a rules package, we absolutely need cis folks to call reps about this. even GOP reps.
if 1 democrat lets this go without a fight, a national bill wonโt be far behind. and if the GOP isnโt unanimous, thereโs a chance they wonโt even try.
