Welcome to Litsy!

This continues to be a charming manga exploring LGBTQIA+ and new ally experiences alongside in-panel baking and dessert recipes. Toshi continues to grapple with the concept of coming out, and his staffer continues to delve into what it means to support the queer community. #LGBTQIA #Manga #Baking

Gibson is not a favorite of mine lyrically or formally but there is so much feeling baked into these poems that I understand why they resonate with folks as they do. Lovely work if not always my thing.

Wanted to read a banned book, & I can see why this would be challenged by some horrified parent afraid their teen might get ideas. 🙄 Mostly memoir/part guidebook for teenagers about growing up & finding their identity & belonging as a LGBTQIA+ person. A couple of sex scenes from the author‘s first experiences. An interesting book, Johnson has good stories to tell.

This books epigraph: “For those who are born different and feel they don‘t belong in this world, it is because you were brought here to help create a new one.” ❤️

Oh my goodness, I got the cutest package from @OutsmartYourShelf!

Now I can relive #HauntedShelf for weeks to come. 😁 Thank you Gayle!

I 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 "

As @jploves2read says, "This book was EVERYTHING." Billy Porter shares personal challenges, struggles with society's expectations, importance of #music & arts in public education, and ultimately the enduring message: #lovewins. A #memoir everyone needs to hear for all the feels. #audio #audiobook #Broadway

Chika's idea of dating is different from her friends or the guys she dates. She chases the idea of being normal as she enters college and soon discovers a word that changes everything: asexual. I really enjoyed this manga. I definitely felt similarly to Chika before learning about asexuality and fell on researching it as soon as I discovered it. I like how the side characters help her expand beyond definition into deeper understanding. #LGBTQIA
