Hey, I’m jumping in a day late on the #TransRightsReadathon, so you can too! Join me! Here are some of my current & fav reads. ✨ Aurora Mattia’s The Fifth Wound is GORGEOUS. The lovechild of Anaïs Nin & Proust. Yes, I cried. https://t.co/vF65xMMamO

Do you love Kate Bush? Of course you do. You’re cool. You’ll love John-Francis Quiñonez’s poetry collection KEEP YOUR LITTLE LIGHTS ALIVE. I adore their collection: it’s so intimate & funny & sweet & queer. ✨ https://t.co/faTeHsNWcv

Just bought a used copy of de Beauvoir’s letters to Sartre and my favorite bookseller pointed out that his nickname for her was the Beaver (because of her last name) and I’m completely delighted. Day realigned.

rereading all about love & my heart is pulp & still bell hooks makes me chuckle: “A friend of mine who lies a lot tells me she loves fooling people and making them act on knowledge that only she knows is untrue; she is ten years old.”

“Though I’d been unsettled by my afternoon with X, I did not yet believe I was in love with her. I only felt that I had been changed — though being changed by a person is far more dangerous than simply loving them.” Biography of X, Catherine Lacey

My last (formal) book of the #TransRightsReadathon is Luke Dani Blue’s weird & vibrant collection PRETEND IT’S MY BODY. Tornadoes & magically multiplying boulders & young covens of witches. These stories are so queer & embodied, absolutely one of my new favs. https://t.co/j2ES9wsskS

808s & Otherworlds is Sean Avery Medlin’s poetic phenomenon, an urgent album that I keep replaying over & over. “I am not a butterfly un-cocooning. I am a boy who is now a man who was neither all along and more” ☄️🎶 @Chronic_Poetic #TransRightsReadathon https://t.co/EQzA4m7vbB

@aureleos Mona Awad’s book 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl was amazing, having been many shapes & sizes too.
