Gypsy Moth Summer by Julia Fierro. Her writing is absolutely delicious.

When someone says any variety of “if you fight back they’ll authoritarian crack down you” I always wonder what they think is going to happen if we don’t fight back

Yes, to libraries and book clubs that focus on amplifying these voices! And in really personalizing this, beyond the political sector and on the home front... small voices are grateful for those who stand with them.

When My Ghost Sings is part of the Many Voices Book Club at Thousand Oaks Library this year.Each author on their list is a person whose voice has been or is being silenced by bullies. A huge applause to every person who is standing up for others!

Processing compound grief is so painful, but I remind myself, that this is not forever. There is always light at the end of the tunnel of grief, and I will emerge much stronger than before. I have my Chosen Family and for this I am fortunate.

Thanks for review!
@book.noted

“What struck me most about this story was that Fraser created a new form of storytelling to tell it…I think many disabled people can relate to this second self—the self and that died when our disabled self was born.”

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers.

Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.
