Reading Goals for June 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

OK, I am gay and this is pride month, so I’m probably going to regret only including one gay book but I didn’t honestly want to go through my closet (ha) or my bookshelves to find additional gay books because that feels performative. So here are the books that I have on my list for this month.

Platform Decay by Martha Wells. 244 pages.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> reviews of all of this stuff as I finish them or abandon them will go below the cut here, but don’t expect anything down here for a while. Rating system: A is excellent. B is good. C is okay. D is not very good or bad but did what it tried to do. F is something that failed at what it tried to do. This is for things that I abandoned with no plans to ever resume.

Titan A.E. (2000; Film): I really liked this movie. I mean it starts off with the Earth being blown up and humanity being scattered across the galaxy, and because it was a Don Bluth movie, I had very high hopes, and it did not disappoint. There were a couple of odd character changes of heart that happened, conveniently, at points when they were needed for the plot—but overall, I think it was a good movie, and it only suffered ever so slightly from the clunky looking computer graphics that are used in certain parts of the movie. I would rate the movie a B+. The only reason it doesn’t get an A is because it’s got a little too much blood and nudity for it to be a children’s movie and it’s too much like a children’s movie for adults.

not even funny how true this is for me

[queeranarchism]

A lot of the satellite footage of Gaza and Lebanon that you see in the media looks like this

And while that is obviously horrifying to me, I think people ho are still in deep denial can sort of pretend to themselves that there must have been a very big battle there, or a massive fire, or one really big bomb. The 'oh we were fighting Hamas/Hezbollah' bullshit can somehow be wielded to stay in that deep denial.

So I think they should be showing more shit like this:

Like, this makes it pretty clear that it's every house. Systematically. Can you convince yourself that Hezbollah was in EVERY house? For real? Or is it time to start facing that the IDF is deliberately going from house to house destroying a civilization?

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

[phaeton-flier]

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

[theaudientvoid]

[centrally-unplanned]

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing

[h4nds4ndwich]

“It’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing” I’m in love

Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling

[desinteresse]

“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭

[desinteresse]

Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.

[mosssreblogs]

for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:

mom, how do i...?

and dad, how do i...?

^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments

if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions

there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look 🩷 much love

2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍

20th century photography at its finest: Between 1906 and 1914, Augustus Frederick Sherman - a senior clerk at Ellis Island who worked there from 1892 until his death in 1925 - quietly photographed more than 200 portraits of newly arrived immigrants as they stepped off ships into New York Harbor. Sherman often asked his subjects to unpack and don the traditional costumes or folk dress of their homelands so he could capture the remarkable diversity of people entering the United States. His lens caught Cossack men from Russia, Italian women, Sami women from Scandinavia, a German stowaway, a Hindu boy, a Greek-Orthodox priest, Scottish boys, Slovak mothers with children, and more, creating a vivid, human record of those hopeful arrivals.

This period was the zenith of U.S. immigration: Ellis Island processed an average of about one million immigrants per year between 1905 and 1914, with 1907 alone seeing over 1,000,000 arrivals - a daily peak of 11,747 people on April 17.
