It's Bi Visibility Day, and we're celebrating as we do with books starring bi main characters! For even more recs, check out past years' posts! Young Adult Wish You Weren’t Here by Erin Baldwin All’s fair in love and Color War. Juliette doesn’t hate Priya Pendley. At least, not in the way teen movies say she should hate the hot popular girl.

It's Friday! Your assignment this weekend: Hang out in a bookstore or library. Spend time with the books. Chat with the booksellers & librarians. Enjoy the community. This is activism. Your presence energizes these spaces & these spaces need energy. Have a great weekend!

Unsurprisingly, Gender Queer is on this list. I'm so frustrated that Canadian teachers, students, and librarians are having to deal with this same shit we're dealing with here in the US. Canadian authors you can join @authorsabb.bsky.social !
Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge.

Over in Autostraddle, I write about queer generational trauma: how it works, and how to tell stories about it.

What Is Queer Generational Trauma, and How Do We Tell Stories About It?
Lately, I've been obsessing over the concept of queer generational trauma: the pain passed down to us from our ancestors, which we bequeath in turn to those who come after us.
