pickThis is a really interesting, thought-provoking primer on gender non conformity. You may not agree with Alok's critique of the gender binary, but their counter arguments to common criticisms of gender nonconforming people are well put.
Sunday morning coffee, a book , & apple cider cake.
This is in my TBR from ages ago. I resurrected it because my family is visiting The Morgan Library & Museum in NYC the Sunday after Christmas to view a Renoir exhibit.

pickAfro-Latine joy shines in this gorgeous story of a father and daughter riding through the city at dawn. It‘s about bonding, heritage, and seeing yourself in a new light.

pickMarlene's mom says she has bad hair and has it straightened at the salon every Sunday, but Marlene hates the salon and just wants to wear her hair natural. This was a lovely book exploring self-confidence, hair care, family, identity, and Black Dominican joy. The illustrations are lovely and do such a good job of conveying emotion. The author also takes care in handling mom's hesitance toward natural hair. #BIPOC #Comics
pickI started this the morning before Alice Wong passed, so it took me a bit longer to get through, it was sad and inspiring to hear her mentioned so often throughout LLPS's book. This is hard to rate. It isn't really about the future, it is mostly about 2020-2022 and how GD hard it was. I think this is a good read for people who want to understand the community and life more, but overall it is a bit meandering
"It turns out the end of the world is easier to read about in a book, then to know how to respond in real life "
I baked Biscuits With the Boss, among other things, while I started the tagged book. It‘s interesting, but Snorton does NOT care about clarity. Brace yourself for the very most academical academic language that ever academed.
