"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot…But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I’ve seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them…but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it…ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love…And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man…A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget."

- Evey Hammond, from Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta"

"The strongest storms start with a single raindrop...“I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.”

- Thomas Jefferson

Your father is dying. Your incipient mother-in-law is dying. Your fiancé might be dying. Said fiancé and future mother-in-law are both willing to confide about their health conditions to you, but insist that it needs to be kept secret from the other, despite the fact that they're mother and daughter and have known each other for all of your fiancé's life, whereas they both met you probably only a couple of years ago. Every day, Arthur Holmwood wakes up.

Queer Liberation Library 2025 Pride Fundraiser

Queer Liberation Library 2025 Pride Fundraiser!

By Queer Liberation Library

For those who still don't know, Queer Liberation Library (QLL) is a free, donation-funded, digital library of LGBTQIA+ books and resources. Since it is not a tax-funded public service like public libraries (also very important services, go get a card from your local library to support them!), it is open to all U.S. mailing addresses. You can read QLL's e-books and audiobooks on the Libby app or the Overdrive website.

They are having a Pride Month fundraiser. As of 6/15/25, they are at ~$26,000 out of $50,000. They have the next two weeks of Pride Month to make it to their goal.

If it is safe for you to, and you can afford it, consider donating. You can donate any amount, you can donate once or monthly, and you can donate anonymously. If you can't donate, consider sharing the fundraiser instead!

"Queer Liberation Library fights to build a vibrant, flourishing queer future by connecting LGBTQ+ people with literature, information, and resources that celebrate the unique and empowering diversity of our community." - QLL

@thatsbelievable is generally concerned with unreality, but sometimes they post things that are so true it hurts a little.
