STACKEDIARIES | may 12th | "as i lay dying"

[Caption: gifs from The Vampire Diaries. Caroline and Liz are alone at the Grill, face to face, both aware that Caroline is a vampire and Liz already knows about it. Caroline talks, while Liz looks overwhelmed, near tears. Caroline tells her she "explained [the supernatural] to [Liz] once", but she had to compel her to forget because she was scared of what Liz might do about it. Caroline starts walking towards Liz, who stays in place but leans her body away. Caroline tells her she doesn't want to lie, and states that she's not going to be afraid of Liz anymore. Caroline grabs Liz's closed fist and holds it in her hands, saying she doesn't want Liz to be afraid of her either. Liz shakes her head imperceptibly, holding back tears and a sob; Caroine tells her, her voice cracking, "I'm still your little girl. It's me.", hugging Liz. She repeats "It's me. Mom?", and Liz finally hugs back, crying on Caroline's shoulder, who smiles with relief and hugs her tight.]

 If I had a remembrance book, I would mark down how it was when we left our little house in the big woods to go west to Indian Territory. We had to go, Pa said, because so many people had come to live in the big woods, there wasn't enough game anymore for him to hunt and he feared we might go hungry. Ma said we might never again see Grandma and Grandpa, or Aunt Docia and Aunt Ruby and Uncle George. Though it made me sad, I still thought it a fine thing to go where there had never been a road before. We'd go where the land was more bountiful, he said, and he sold our house and land and cow, and packed whatever would fit in the wagon. I was glad Pa took his fiddle, for it makes a joysome sound. Mary was afraid to go, but I knew nothing bad could happen as long as we had Pa and Jack. Jack is my best and truest friend and Pa says there has never been a better watchdog. I knew there would be rivers to cross and hills to climb, and I was glad, for this is a fair land and I rejoiced that I would see it.

the beautiful and talented melissa barrera as laura franco in “your monster” - which premieres in 2024.

Me: Is this Farmer Boy sequel written in 2012 really going to be able to feel like a legitimate follow-up to the style and atmosphere of the original, or is it just another modern cash-grab?

Heather Williams, on page 2: Best of all, he knew that fall meant crispy spareribs and sweet cider and hot roasted potatoes with melting butter and all the pumpkin pie he could eat.

Me: ....it looks like I can trust you. Carry on.

International Trans Day of Visibility

Today we are spotlighting a few of the books from our LGBTQ+ Collection that highlight trans lives and issues. Check out the photo captions to find out what books the images came from. 

International Transgender Day of Visibility was created in 2009 by therapist and transgender activist Rachel Crandall Crocker, partially as counterweight to Trans Day of Remembrance, a day of memoriam for all those lost to transgender violence. Crocker wanted "a day that we can just celebrate being ourselves.” More recently, Crocker spoke about the double-edge sword of visibility for trans folks, and called on allies of trans people to make themselves more visible. So for all the cis people reading this, think hard about how you are going to show up for the trans community today, and every day.
