The Locus poll is closing tomorrow! Anyone can vote on this worldwide. Here is the story I have on the Recommended list - it is a very short flash story, for a last minute read if you'd like to give it a try :)

Rather than using the easier-to-say and #ungendered "they", some people put in extra syllables for the ol' "he or she" and casually exclude #nonbinary folks.

Cool.

#Protip: shallow, performative #feminism sees only the #bimodal peaks on the gender #spectrum. Yawn. Boooooring. Thpbpbpbpbpbpbp. 👎.

My feminism goes deeper, gets #weirder, dissolves pretty hate machines, and lives without dead time in the spaces in between.

Let's start with a trans book!

Love Me For Who I Am vol. 1 by Kata Konayama, translated by Amber Tamosaitis.

Manga; working at a crossdressing café while nonbinary is an uneasy experience!

Impulse library borrow and it turned out quite different from what I'd expected.

Watched #episode3 of #LastOfUs last night, and yup, I cried. What a beautiful, heart-rending piece of cinema. I've heard some people were upset because "gays in muh vidya". I feel sorrow for anyone who could watch that episode and not be deeply moved. #TheLastOfUs #NaughtyDog #HBO #QUILTBAG

HOSHIT. LESLIE JORDAN WAS ACTUALLY HOT?!

NGL, the recounting of how exactly he met his political downfall gives me so, so much #schadenfreude. /smdh.

This came up just yesterday - my neopronouns in fiction pre-2010 timeline!

Goes all the way back to 1890!

- to say nothing of how, still in drag, sherlock and watson get into a fight in tight quarters, where they're literally wrestling on top of each other atop a train seat and, at one point, watson is straddled by sherlock from underneath as he literally rips sherlock's shirt off, baring RDJ's naked chest
- there's even a shot where watson's head is caught between sherlock's knees 😏

like i said, no complaints. 😄

3/3

#lgbtq #movies #quiltbag #subtext

o, homoerotic #subtext; lemme count the ways:
- sherlock's obvious jealousy that watson's getting married, literally barging into john & mary's honeymoon
- sherlock in drag and then, later, requesting that john lay with him (to avoid gunfire, sure, but come on)
- sherlock and john literally waltzing together
- sherlock asking john if adventures with him are better than honeymooning with his new wife would've been
2/2

#movies #lgbtq #quiltbag

just finished watching "sherlock holmes: a game of shadows" (the 2nd holmes movie w/ robert downey, jr.) for the first time. turns out i wasn't the only one to think it sort of leaned into the holmes-watson homoerotic subtext that's been in every version of sherlock: https://gizmodo.com/sherlock-holmes-a-game-of-shadows-is-gayer-steamier-5868673

not complaining one bit. 😉 🏳️‍🌈

I've reviewed Hugh Ryan's masterful pleasure-readable WHEN BROOKLYN WAS QUEER here: https://expendablemudge.blogspot.com/2021/01/three-quiltbag-histories-shuggie-bain.html
But his work reclaiming #QUILTBAG history hasn't stopped.
Today's #LitHub piece is very timely & beautifully said:

It's Best-of-2022 Time...I spent way too much time ogling all the pretties on NPR's list:

but there are some that *really* stand out:
BEFORE ALL THE WORLD was an excellent #QUILTBAG read! My #BookReview: https://tinyurl.com/5n7vztsz
Set in #Philadelphia in the 1930s, the #loveislove relationship(s) of three outsiders is told in a wild mix of Yiddish and English. A best-of for sure.
