I've invented a new system of government where before you pass any bill it has to be read by a philosopher, community leader, and a historian who are all entitled to reject the bill and/or beat the shit out of you for anything they feel is blatantly evil

All of these books are queer, but they all have back blurbs that don’t say they’re queer. While this can be a pain if I’m scouting for queer SFF, it can come in handy for people in a situation where they don’t want to be reading queer books openly. 

Please do note that I don’t have hard copies of the books on hand so it’s possible that an author quote or something mentions one being queer (I feel like this isn’t super likely, but I don’t want to rule it out). Some might also have author biographies mentioning that the author is queer. Also, some may be shelved as LGBT on Goodreads or categorized as queer on Amazon. So if you’re planning on asking for any of these as holiday gifts, I would suggest going to the Amazon page or where ever your relative is likely to buy it from and double check that it’s something you’d be comfortable with sharing openly. 

I wish I had more pansexual books, but the ones I know of tend to mention queerness in the back description. 

With the exception of The Spy with the Red Balloon, these are all books I have read or are currently reading. If you want to recommend others, feel free to do so in the replies!

You can find my other queer book recommendations here.

Links to the queer books database (or Goodreads if the book hasn’t been added yet) are available below the cut. You can find information on content warnings there.

I feel like if I went back in time and kissed Frank Sinatra he’d be fine with it. He wouldn’t initiate anything but if I did it he wouldn’t send his mob connections after me he’d just be like “huh.”

Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play a significant role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer viable. While some individuals could produce, the limited number of koalas makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely and highly susceptible to disease.

I mean.

I knew that Australia was on fire, but I didn’t take the next step in logic to realize that the species that lived in some of the trees of the continental brushfire would take such a severe hit from it.

At least some polar bears have wandered south and crossed with grizzlies as an alternative to starving and drowning in the increasingly iceless Arctic. Koalas have no such luck. Their survival needs are too specific. They’re done for.

i find it interesting how quickly we forgot about the political and specifically anti-war the emo movement actually was. 50% of emo bands first albums are explicitly about 9/11. they go on to address military service, ptsd, school shootings...

like it really wasnt so much “im sad bc sad” as “you have soiled our childhoods with violence and we will not allow you to ignore or forget it”

One detail you could always expect to see in Queen albums was the “no synthesizers” thing but in Roger’s Fun in Space album you can find “157 synthesizers” in the notes
