Awesome cover by Augusta Scarlett features a black woman in winter gear holding a futuristic rifle, pointed at the ground; she's looking down at a snowy landscape featuring mountains, distant spaceships, and an orbital elevator. The whole thing is in shades of blue, with purple in the title.

#Booksky Our books are not artificially scented with mayo! Or anything else, apart from that new book scent we all love! You can buy them direct from us or at your local indue on Bookshop or at any of the usual outlets. Great queer reads, no weird scents. queenofswordspress.com/shop/

For your blocking consideration, transphobe @1diane.bsky.social, who spends their time replying with the same inane question every time Newsom's transphobia and crimes against unhoused people are brought up.

My one issue is "human rights for absolutely every person".

Free penguin costume. And a sign now. I’ll buy you lunch if you wear this costume and get in the front page of the Newsminer.

A defiant penguin holds a fish while holding another flipper up into the air in a flipper fist with the words RESIST overlayed on top. Gold and black vintage graphic.
