The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

Dublin Bay, by John Patrick
@johnpatrickauthor.bsky.social

Two men--one Irish, one German--explore feelings on different sides in World War II. Moments of tenderness contrast with horrors of battle and strategies for survival.

With the gods at war with the titanic creatures that created them, the only heroes left are as broken as the world they must reforge.

Lone Women by Victor LaValle

Very much a 'the true monsters are' sort of book. The multi povs work well, and the cast of characters were interesting. Some leaning into archetypes, but the ones with more time on page moved beyond that.

🪐📚💙 #specfic #sff 📚🌎⏳ 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫 1/
Book Cover for Lone Women by Victor LaValle This is a stylized, collage cover, with a slightly unreal landscape. A young black woman in 1910s dress stands in profile, holding a rifle tucked under her arm. A scarf shows in the breeze, and her dress is dark, possibly black. She's drawn in black and white as is much of the landscape, which made of disjointed sections of land and branches. The sky is black fading to red and yellow, and blood splatters across parts of the title and the lower right corner.

What a cracking conclusion to @jordanlhawk.bsky.social’s Whyborne & Griffin series! The final battle for Widdershins and the world might be the best of the 11 books.

A book. Jordan L Hawk. Deosil. A Whyborne and Griffin novel. Two men in grey 19th century style coats and waistcoats stare at the camera with serious expressions. One has both fists clenched; the other holds a book in one hand. Blue lightning fills the sky behind them.

Grim, well-researched reading
“Most Trans+ people in the UK will wait more than 1/3 of their adult life to get their 1st appointment at a gender clinic, & some will never receive care...Long waits increase distress, self-harm &suicide risk &push people towards potentially unsafe routes to treatment"

A worthy read of the exceptionally grim situation for trans people in the UK. The US gets the media spotlight, but the UK's attack on us is more subtle but also more destructive.

“As the first comprehensive international human rights instrument dedicated to the protection of persons with variations of sex characteristics, the Recommendation marks a historic and much-needed milestone.”

This is a very encouraging move in Europe to better protect intersex people.
