Day 23 of the #RiotGrams challenge: book you've owned longest! I don't own a lot of old books, and the ones I do have are packed away. But I do have a second copy of one of of them, which I acquired online (and used to belong to someone named Sarah, I'm guessing.) It's from 1977. The whole series is amazing and it's really due for a reprint. ❤️📚❤️

saguarosally Someone actually owns this book! 😂 #qgp #qgp1 #queergoespostal 7y

rubyslippersreads Love this cover! 🌹 7y

WarpedSweetness That food looks so good I didn't notice the pretty book cover! Lol I'm so sad I didn't get to be part of this exchange, although I know I actually couldn't. 7y

Bibliogeekery Which #QGP package did you send? I thought I was supposed to be sending to you now and I have yet to receive a book to send you 🤔 7y

BookishMarginalia @bibliogeekery I just sent out Luna. I have no book right now either. 7y

Bibliogeekery Did you send Luna to me or Jenna? 7y

BookishMarginalia @Bibliogeekery I sent it to Jenna 7y

BookishMarginalia @Bibliogeekery It came to me from Sarah 7y

Bibliogeekery Alright. So that one will have skipped me then. I've already read it so maybe I can send some notes along somehow. Sarah is to be sending to me from now on and I'm to be sending to you. 🙂 7y

BookishMarginalia @Bibliogeekery ☺️ 7y

Chrissyreadit @BookishMarginalia where do I find more info about your SummerSolstice/Santa exchange? Will there be another one? Completely bummed I did not know about it 😭. 7y

A cup of tea and a long-overdue read for #QGP group 2. I haven't read this before, though I did see the movie, which I loved.

Bibliogeekery Yay!! Hope you enjoy it! 🎉 8y

Hey #QGP2 folks, @Emory picked what is practically a unicorn in my world, so let me tell ya, you're in for a treat. 💜 @BooksForEmpathy this will be in the mail to you Monday, I'm flying out stupid early but will have it packaged up and ready for my brother to bring it to the PO! #QGP #weneeddiversebooks

kgriffith (Of note: I bought the audiobook because I could listen while doing all the things this weekend and still mail the book. Audio is not bad, but if I could read and cook/do laundry/pack my bags/drive at the same time, I'd have preferred that) 8y

Bibliogeekery Yay!! 🎉🎉🎉 8y

These just arrived in a box of books donated to the Equality Community Center by a lesbian elder. This is one of my favorite parts of volunteering here! #QGP #weneeddiversebooks #lesbian #pulp

I'm rather fond of flamingos! #qgp #qgp1 #queergoespostal (Anyone else wince at using the word queer? Is it acceptable now?) @Yellowpigeon @Joybishoptx @Bibliogeekery

Bibliogeekery It's interesting about the word queer. I identify as queer and in my queer community it is viewed as a term that is more inclusive than LGBTQ - no matter how many letters are added it seems to exclude someone! I quite love the reclamation of the term but also understand that not everyone feels that way and I completely support people using whatever terms feel most comfortable for them! ❤️🏳️‍🌈 8y

saguarosally @Bibliogeekery I've seen some of the reclamation of the word, but I guess I'm still old school enough where I still think of it as a slur. When I was recommending a group name of alphabet soup I was being cheeky but hey, it's inclusive. 😜 8y

bookishkai It took me a long time to embrace queer. I used to hate lesbian so I always referred to myself as gay. But the more the community discusses the nuances and degrees of sexuality and gender, the more queer appealed to me. It encompasses more of my identity without my having to explain the things I don't necessarily have words for: I could be grey-ace homo-romantic gender-meh, or I can be queer. And, I feel kind of radical reclaiming queer. (edited) 8y

Redjewel_7734 I think it's a lot in how it's used, of course. But if I had someone tell me they were uncomfortable with it, I wouldn't hesitate to ask what they prefer & use that around them. Ultimately, it's about respect. 8y

saguarosally @bookishkris I do see the need for a more inclusive word. I just don't know how much I personally like reclaiming words, and I'm pretty much the antithesis of radical. 8y

saguarosally @Redjewel_7734 Absolutely. Maybe I'll get used to it down the road also. 8y

You know, my old #botm boxes will work quite well for #QueersGoPostal . #qgp

BookishMarginalia Yes! I would enjoy getting it, because as a resident of PR I can't sign up for #BOMC (boo!) 8y

saguarosally @BookishMarginalia Why can't you join? PR is part of the US after all. 8y
