do you have any favourite books or authors?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i just be readin shit and going "ok I'll incorporate that into my truth system". Two books that means a lot to me for different reasons are:

The Last Girl Scout by @natalieironside (Post-Apoc trans women killing nazi vampires)

Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane (Achillies is transfemme and the book is a spell)

What I've been reading lately:

Vengeance Feminism by Kali Gross (Current. Non-Fiction/History, Black women using violence to protect themselves/their honor)

All The Black Girls Are Activists by ebonyjanice (Non-Fiction - Fourth-Wave Womanism and Theology. Another poetry compilation from this will come out eventually)

All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson (Non-Fiction - A "memoir manifesto" by a Black enby)

Black Liturgies by Cole Arthur Riley (Non-Fiction. What it says on the tin. I converted some to be non-religious in an essay for Dream Johnson)

TIL J. Edgar Hoover have had hundreds of ghostreaders monitoring, stalking and reviewing African-American literature to the point that the FBI's in-house writers could simulate Black literature on their own. And this is many decades before LLM is even a thing. Very sinister.

Candor by Anne Carson

"If you are not the free person you want to be you must find a place to tell the truth about that."

I am pleased that the reviewers are correct and the hype is well deserved. Uketsu's Strange Pictures is really good. Approach the book without reading the synopsis or summary for heightened enjoyment.
