"You are right that this woman needs a summer, but telling her that is not giving her that. It is not an accomplishment to tell someone they need help. You realize that you can tell her that she needs a summer - and - it isn't fair to ask her to go find one."

- Brennan Lee Mulligan, Gladlands Episode 2

In honor of pride month 🏳️‍🌈 here are some queer recs (only books I’ve read and actually enjoyed)

Sci-fi:

the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells - great aspec rep (aro, ace, agender) and lots of background queer characters (being queer is considered normal) and just a great book in general (Murderbot is the most character and it’s anti-capitalism)

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao - features a lot of female rage and a poly relationship (also the main character is an utter badass)

the Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin - casually queer (trans background characters and poly relationship) but that’s not the focus of the book (still the story itself is sooo good)

Vicious by V.E. Schwab - ace (confirmed) & gay (idk whether confirmed or not) main character

(Projekt Hail Mary by Andy Weir - not necessarily queer but there’s no romance and one of the main characters is considered queer for humans (I’m kind of cheating, sorry))

Fantasy:

the Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - great wlw romance and more queer characters, also the worldbuilding is top notch (and there are dragons!)

Carry On (Simon Snow Series) by Rainbow Rowell - kinda like gay Harry Potter fanfiction but in better (also failed chosen one) (it’s silly and cute and just a perfect read for when you’re feeling down)

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune - mlm romance, the character development is great and it’s a perfect mix of emotional and funny (everyone loves the house in the cerulean sea but I honestly think this one’s better)

She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan - this one‘s about a genderqueer, totally badass main character who ends up in a lesbian (kinda) relationship

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - i think we‘ve all heard of it, it’s fantastic!

the Atlas Six by Olivie Blake - everyone’s some form of queer and it really shows, it’s also a critique on capitalism/elitism (really fun and chaotic)

the Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Horror - wlw romance, feminism, sisterhood and witches (if that doesn’t catch you idk what does but trust me it’s just so good)

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas - nice story about a trans teen with a cute mlm romance and ghosts

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron - it’s a sapphic retelling of Cinderella with feminism and rebellion

[no-resolution]

BTVS is a silly show with happy, well-adjusted characters

[shencomix]

We go forward.

Oh look it’s that short comic that’s haunted me for a decade.

Just learned this absolutely delightful bit of etymology:

During the 15th century, the English had an endearing practice of granting common human names to the birds that lived among them. Virtually every bird in that era had a name, and most of them, like Will Wagtail and Philip Sparrow have been long forgotten. Polly Parrot has stuck around, and Tom Tit and Jenny Wren, personable companions of the English countryside, are names still sometimes found in children’s rhymes. Other human names, however, have been incorporated so durably into the common names that still grace birds as to almost entirely obscure their origin. The Magpie, a loquacious black and white bird with a penchant for snatching shiny objects, once bore the simple name “pie,” probably coming from its Roman name, “pica.” The English named these birds Margaret, which was then abbreviated to Maggie, and finally left at Mag Pie. The vocal, crow-like bird called Jackdaw was also once just a “daw” named “Jack.”  The English also gave their ubiquitous and beloved orange-bellied, orb-shaped, wren-sized bird a human name. The first recorded Anglo-Saxon name for the Eurasian Robin was ruddoc, meaning “little red one.” By the medieval period, its name evolved to redbreast (the more accurate term orange only entered the English language when the fruit of the same name reached Great Britain in the 16th century). The English chose the satisfyingly alliterative name Robert for the redbreast, which they then changed to the popular Tudor nickname Robin. Soon enough, the name Robin Redbreast became so identified with the bird that Redbreast was dropped because it seemed so redundant.
