We're over the moon to announce we'll be publishing @michelletea.bsky.social's gutsy, joyful road-trip novel Little F in the UK! Hitting the streets near you April 2026 🚗

Black text on a brown paper background. Text reads: A gutsy and joyful road trip of a novel by cult favourite author of Black Wave and Valencia. In Spencer’s fantasies, the breezy, queer streets of Provincetown are utopia, a place where he can be free. And when a violent attack in his suburban Arizona schoolyard sends him to the hospital, he decides queer utopia can’t wait. One night, with the help of his best friend, the teenage witch Joy, he hitches a ride to find it.

What follows is a cross-country road odyssey throughout the USA, taking Spencer from new moon rituals in Arizona canyons to Texas bus stations, from the luxe drag stages of Houston’s Montrose district to the jazz-soaked streets of New Orleans and beyond. This new novel from Michelle Tea tells the story, by turns raw, romantic, and sweet, of a sheltered boy taking his first leap into queer life, among all the complicated queers who live it.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Child cooked dinner tonight. Apparently he was searching ‘old food trends’ on YouTube and discovered how to make a taco shell out of cheese.
