Give a shoutout to your favorite LGBTQIAP+ book! 🌈📚

Everyone NEEDS to read I’ll Get There. It Better Be Worth the Trip. by John Donovan. First young adult novel with LGBT themes, published spring of 1969 by a gay New Yorker (the proximity to Stonewall is amazing), and it would be a beautiful, amazing book worth reading even if it weren’t historically important.

I’ve never heard of this one! Sounds like a great read for Pride Month!

not my favorite, but my first gay book was A Boy’s Own Story by Edmund White. it’s set in the 1950s, so it’s got some historical context. also, my high school english teacher gave it to me before i had come out to anyone, and that was honestly such a read

I love that I’m hearing about all of these older LGBTQ+ books that we don’t often hear about anymore! Thank you for sharing!

If we’re going older books, I think more people need to know about Peter McGehee and Doug Wilson’s trilogy of autobiographical novels. They’re devastating, beautiful, and burn bright with life and humour in the midst of dying, at the height of the AIDS crisis. They do have sexual content and difficult subject matter, so they’d be for mature readers who are ready for that, but I think they’re important, and most people don’t know they exist. I read them first in my very early twenties, and they will never leave me or my bookshelf.

I agree john mulaney is probably an immortal akin to beings such as keanu reeves and jeff goldblum but he’s like a new born baby immortal who is looking at the long long expanse of a lifetime he has in front of him and is already tired

jeff golblum is thousands of years old and loving it. john mulaney was born in 1901 and ever since 1924 it’s gone downhill for him

So to be clear, the immortal timeline seems to be:

John Mulaney – early 20th century

Eric Andre – Probably 17th century or so.

Taika Waititi – Elizabethan age, probably hung out with Shakespeare

Keanu Reeves – We think sometime around Alexander the Great, but he seems to have just sprung up fully formed.

Jeff Goldblum – 100% Biblical times, may or may not be King Solomon.

Tommy Wiseau – Indeterminate, may be the first Homo Sapiens.

Florence Welch – 100 BCE celtic queen, probably told Julius Caesar to fuck off at some point

A conversation on the fluidity of terms, and how to understand and have a productive conversation with a shifting generational gap in trans terminology.

Thiiiiiiiis

Also goes for encounters with trans people regardless of their age. We come from different places, different cultures, different sub-cultures. We don’t all have the same framework for what language best describes who we are.

The enforcement of appropriate terminology is agist, racist, colonialist, classist, ableist, US-centrust and Eurocentrist and all together undermines community solidarity.

This is really cool

(Content warning for nudity, sorta – like the people are made of silver or of sand or whatever and they’re not super distinct but they’re naked)

WATCH THIS. Easily the best video I’ve seen in years. It’s not just the effects, but also the exuberance and the weird tension between the canny and uncanny. I LOVE IT.

(Track is Light It Up by Major Lazer featuring Nyla and Fuse ODG)

This is stunning in so many ways! I can literally feel the textures with my eyes

okay but that song bumps eh

I was pleasantly surprised with this video and could only think, “More eyes need this… More ears need this… Must share this…”

This was dope af

I think the Surrealists have wandered back through and done a music vid. Wow. @samjohnssonvt @copperbadge @killabeezish I think you guys may want to see this!

Some of them really creep me out, but it’s well worth a watch!
