could I ask for sci-fi book reccs with/featuring gay characters? all the project hail mary attention has reminded me to 1) finish the murderbot books and 2) how don't care much for andy weir

HELLO I have so many queer sci-fi recs... I tried to focus on gay characters here but a lot of these are also going to be trans/ gender queer gay. anyway:

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee - Kel our protagonist is a lesbian (she might be more broadly queer but I remember it that way) and Jedao was for sure bisexual. this is battle type space opera with wildly complex world building

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon - this is a modern classic !!! in the generation ship space sci-fi genre and for sure lesbian protagonist. also very dark and intense

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer - this is maybe the closest to andy weir type sci-fi on this list (guys sent in to space to save humanity) and I am also obsessed with the gay romance in it!! should mention it is YA

The Iron Garden Sutra by A.D. Sui - gay death monk investigating a creeeppyy space ship. also has gay romance

Redsight by Meredith Mooring - blind author writing about blind lesbian space priestessss lesbian romance also

Floating Hotel by Grace Curtis - very fun spaceship hotel book with lots of POVs I believe two of which were lesbians

Landlocked in a Foreign Skin by Drew Huff - important addition to the lesbian alien creature in space genre

Toward Eternity by Anton Hur - more literary far future multiple POV style sci-fi that I really liked and some of the POVs were gay

The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz - this is a real engineers hope punk style sci-fi, more of a thought experiment about the future than it is narrative fiction, but ! I remember there was gay sex

Empire of the Feast by Bendi Barrett - you can read this novella in a sitting and It is real out there sexy funky space opera. its more queer than gay cause peoples genders keep changing but I would still sell it as gay

The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis - more lesbian space opera now with more of a handmaid's tale situation

These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs - this was a big deal for the evil lesbian cat and mouse space opera community

The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling - lesbian cave diving in space!

Countess by Suzan Palumbo - lesbian space opera retelling of the count of monte cristo, though much much shorter than actual count

This World Is Not Yours by Kemi Ashing-Giwa - very messy polyamory stuff on a space colony primarily focused on one lesbian couple

Local Heavens by K.M. Fajardo - not set in space but gay retelling of the great gatsby with sci-fi future setting and I ate it UP

ok sorry to double reblog BUT I just looked him up and he does these fantastic videos where he breaks down HOW he actually mimics the other artists’ styles. Like for ed Sheeran, he explains how he brings his voice forward in the mouth, while Adam Levine sings in the back of the mouth, stuff like that. It’s SO COOL, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone actually break down how to do this sort of thing, as a skill, instead of just treating it like a neat trick they just happen to be good at. https://www.tiktok.com/@justinjmooremusic

Check him out he’s so cool

[yomikoreadsbooks]

How fascinating! Definitely someone to check out!!

My work for the @very-sincerely-yours-zine !

What an incredible honor to be surrounded by such talented creatives in a celebration of queer life, love, and perseverance 🩵🩵🩵

I settled on a triptych design with the left and right panels depicting each man’s ’death’ (Afghanistan and Reichenbach Falls respectively) and a sort of ‘revival’ in the center as they finally come together. Of course the retirement cottage and plenty of Victorian flower language is included as well.

I hope y’all got your copies and enjoy! Thank you again for the chance to contribute to this fantastic project 🩵🏳️‍🌈🏡

So this past weekend my friend and I went to TCAF, we saw a ton of cool stuff but I also convinced them to go to the Arthur Conan Doyle Room with me at the Toronto Reference Library with me as I had been meaning to make the trip.

For any one who doesn't know the Arthur Conan Doyle Room is a massive collection of ACD, Sherlock Holmes, and related books (there are 25000+ books) located on the 5th floor of the library and completely open to the public. You can take items right off the shelf and read them. The library was pretty quiet that day so we had the whole collection to ourselves.

Part of the collection is in this wonderful little room. Themed after Holmes' study.

There's even a piece of the Reichenbach Falls.

Of course we have the "Watson going through it" Sidney Paget print.

When I was first told about the collection I was told to be on the look out for the copy of The Sexual Adventures of Sherlock Holmes they have, which we found on the shelf to the left of the fireplace. My friend was delighted to read a section of it out loud in that very echoey room for our amusement.

I found this Japanese language novel featuring what I can only describe as "Shonen Protagonist Sherlock Holmes" that I just needed to share with everyone.

We spent a good couple of hours looking through things, they have a lot of various editions of the canon in a number of different languages, as well as a ton of parodies, pastiches, and Holmes adjacent items. My friend and I are planning another visit later this summer as we barely scratched the surface of what the collection has.

So if you do find yourself downtown Toronto, I highly recommend stopping by.

I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.

reblog if you remember having to ration your text messages and accidentally opening the internet on your phone was the end of the world
