I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀

LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF

A banner that reads OLDER LGBT SCIENCE FICTION: A DATABASE in big letters, and tinyurl.com/oldgaySF in smaller print below. The background is an orange-tinted retro-looking photo of a row of radio telescopes.

I reread A Master of Djinn by @pdjeliclark.bsky.social recently!!! Here's that one scene where Siti shows up on her motorbike. I missed them.....

#AMasterOfDjinn #art

illustration of a Black woman on a steampunk motorbike, rested and looking to the side at another woman in a grey suit and bowler, facing away as if she's walking towards her. The woman on the motorbike is in a red kaftan top, tan pants, boots, some goggles and short hair. The bike is bronze and silver. the background is green.

august books 🔥🔥🔥

mar 🛸 @remnantglow.bsky.social · Aug 29

can i come over and stare at you like this

Two illustrations from a historical astronomical text depicting a lunar and solar eclipse. The Sun and the Moon are both depicted with faces, the Moon smiling mildly and the Sun looking distinctly disgruntled. The solar eclipse is placed below the lunar, giving the impression of a comic strip in which the Moon gets uncomfortably close and presses its face into the Sun's.

the girls from The Starving Saints based on that one twelfth night photo, you know the one 🐝

#TheStarvingSaints #art

drawing of the three women from the starving saints in the pose of that anne hathaway twelfth night meme. A butch woman with light tan skin in the middle, head to the side being kissed by a blonde woman with a bleeding ear who is holding a sword. a sickly looking woman with short dark hair is resting her face on the back of the middle woman's shoulder and holding her hand around the sword, with honey dripping from it. each has a bee on them, and their heads have yellow halos behind them. the art is a sketchy style and muted red/browns and bright yellow.
