I know I'm spamming a lot with this EU initiative to BAN conversion practices but the signature collection stops on MAY 17!!!
⚠️ Not all countries in EU have laws to ban conversion therapy, so many LGBTQ+ people are still at risk.
You can vote as a EU citizen even if you don't live in EU anymore!!

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀

I need people to understand that Barthes meant "Death Of The Author" to mean that authorial intent should not be the primary lens by which to criticize and understand a text; it has nothing to do with "is buying a book by a bigot acceptable" it is about LITERARY CRITICISM

To all my booksta buddies wondering where the hell I've disappeared off to - my phone stopped working so it's in repairs, and I lost my login 🥲 hoping I manage to get back in soon, but in the meantime I'm fully enjoying the social media break. Quitting cold turkey has been amazing, truly 🌞

I've started posting my booksta rec lists onto a blog on Medium. There's a limit for how much I can post in a day on there, but I'm hoping to have everything on there in a few days! In the meantime, here's my list of anti colonial sci-fi:

I sat and dug through all the settings on Facebook yesterday, and also discovered this. You have to deactivate this on Instagram too even if your accounts are connected!
I recommend just clearing all the data they have on you, like personal information on your account. Leave them with nothing!

UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]
