I havenโ€™t read all of these, but the ones I have are all terrific. Itโ€™s a great list to be part of, in a strikingly great year for transfeminine literature.

I can't help but feel slightly responsible, having watched DESTINY TURNS ON THE RADIO entirely on purpose. Somebody saw that $3.75 rental fee on a Calgary-area Blockbuster ledger and must have assumed there was a market for watching QT act. We do imprudent things as teenagers.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

I don't know how to tell you it just sucks to struggle your whole life to communicate, find it in a style of art you have developed, and then knowing out there that there's someone scraping everything you did to steal your voice and put it on something you had no choice in speaking for.

FYI, Apple Music still does all the things iTunes did. I don't use their streaming service, I either buy songs in the iTunes store, which is on the sidebar, or upload files from my CDs or purchases from Bandcamp, etc. Still syncs to phone.

I believe this was the bestselling book at the Toronto horror bookstore Little Ghosts the year it was released, and it seems very possible it got there by title alone!

ROGERS V ROGERS is @healey.bsky.social's terrific follow-up to THE MASTER PLAN, a witty docu-fiction detailing Canada's infuriating love of monopolies, starring Tom Rooney and Tom Rooney alone as various characters, including failson Edward Rogers and a regulator who tried to stop the Shaw takeover.

hell of a time to be promoting a book about being trans, the damage done to the body/spirit in the decades spent fighting it, and how you canโ€™t fight city hall (Big Transgender) but here we are. utpress.utexas.edu/978147733148...

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

It sucks that professors will have to AI-proof their courses in order to preserve the value of education, but man, someone has to. At this point, it would be nice to see governments actually try to make protecting education easier

Louis C.K. is not a *cancelled performer.* Heโ€™s a sexual predator who blacklisted dozens of talented artists & women if they didnโ€™t submit to his sexual harassment & assaults. Heโ€™s notorious in the industry for his despicable behavior & this redemptive framing sucks @newyorker.com
