Hiiiii, I absolutely love the work y'all are continually doing for the queer community. It is absolutely not taken for granted in the least, thank you!

Would you guys happen to be getting a copy or two of the text or (preferably) audiobook versions of "Blood from the Marrow" by J.J. Arias so they can be accessed through Libby?

Since I know funding is part of the equation, how much would that cost you guys? (If there is any way to help, I would love to contribute some more so everyone else can also have access)

Sending y'all love,

Alex

thank you!! <3

Blood from the Marrow is in our wishlist, and lots of people want to read it! so hopefully sooner rather than later.

the tricky thing is that with ebook/audiobook licensing, we want to get a copy we can keep forever but then sometimes with some books we also have an option to buy say 100 copies that can be read all at once instead of one at a time but when they’re gone they’re gone. With this title, we have both! Which is great, but also means we want to buy one of each license so the holds don’t go absolutely crazy from the first day we have it. In this case that means we’ll be spending about $150 for those two licenses for this one book.*

some books are even more expensive (alas alas), so we’ve got to walk a line every month between affordability, interest, & growing the collection

Thank you so much for offering to contribute! while any & all donations (especially reoccurring ones) are super helpful, they all go into a general pot. We only accept donations earmarked for specific titles in specific circumstances - meeting a goal in our pride fundraiser for example, or author donations.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

[seravph]

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”

— Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.

This is good information to know.

I might need to culturally appropriate the Asian greeting just to see how it goes.

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.
