Do you want an exciting engaging book for the summer? Hollow Kingdom is a fun and sad novel where the main character is a crow in the PNW, once the land of MoFos.

In your responses to anyone anywhere, I would ask you to remember there is a difference between "I see your struggle and I want to be helpful to you" and "You're doing it wrong and I want to be the one to say that to you" and also a difference in how they will be taken in by others. If you don't know the difference between the two (or don't care), perhaps it would be best for you not to say anything at all.

In case you didn’t hear, or aren’t from #DurhamNC: last week a bizarre car crash (maybe involving a shooting, maybe not, it’s not 100% clear at the moment) resulted in a car driving fully into the middle of Rofhiwa Books, a Black+Queer-owned bookstore here in Durham. (While they were closed, thankfully.)

The place is TRASHED and even though they are insured, it’ll take a while to get things sorted. In the meantime, they have to take care of their employees.

This is a link to a GoFundMe to help with that, and all the myriad other things insurance is bound not to fully cover: https://gofund.me/316d7d49

In today’s post on @medium, “The Truth About Trans Women”, I counter several common transphobic talking points.

Shout-out to @juliaserano, whose writing I highly recommend.

Here’s a friends link to bypass the paywall:

With all of the hot air these days, I am reminded of this prescient quote by Aldo Leopold: "The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the pieces."
