July is disability pride month. Right now in the US, along with many other things, disability services and health care are under attack. Please take the month of July to educate yourself on what it is like for people who live with disability and uplift disabled stories.
Finished my reread of The Long Walk and numbered every death like a normal well adjusted person…

it is written in a very visceral yet innocent way. the characters are what i love more than anything else. the entire novel also takes place in a very short period of time with a set number of characters in a specific setting which differs a lot from many of king's other books.
🏳️‍⚧️ Books with trans rep 🏳️‍⚧️
- The Final Strife is a fantasy with a trans and disabled main character.
- Stag Dance is a recent purchase I am looking forward to reading.
- Docile — trans rep and an anti capitalism. What more could you want?
- Nevada is a classic book about the trans experience.
The trailer for The Long Walk came out, and I am so f*cking excited. It looks like it has been made with love and care for the original material. Hopefully my favorite book is done justice. What did you think?

Yes I read Tender is the Flesh when it first came out and loved it
4.25/5
The religious aspect of The Unworthy was both horrifying and intriguing. Bazterrica did an excellent job of mixing Catholic and new-age spiritual ideals into something incredibly sinister. There is an overwhelming feeling of rot and decay with interspersed moments of light and beauty.
The Long Walk remains my favorite book of all time for many reasons but Garraty and McVries’ relationship is a huge one. I am looking forward to the movie release, but am concerned about how their relationship will be portrayed. Still, I’m holding out hope.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...

But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?
1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Absolutely still not happy about the lack of hate crimes, but we have been calling for the addition of First Degree murder.

We continue to follow the case along with all of the transgender community.

Sam will be remembered.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.
