Let's yap about... monsters, speculative fiction/horror/afrofuturism, open/commons, critical philosophies, everything LGBTQ+, #endo, disabilities, intersectional feminism, the non-human world, culture, books, pluriversal futures, and anything nerdy…
You start: what’s the last thing you read?
A good meme is worth a 1,000-word critical explanation.
<3 for sharing @sonjadedm.bsky.social, I rarely feel so seen.

Spent last night watching @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social talk monsters, and—no Borgs involved—assimilated some of my besties into fans.
Thank you for your sharing your work and middle of the night time with us. #ThisIsWhyIStudyMonsters

2026 reads starting off strong and very sapphic with:
“Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence” by Adrienne Rich #comphet #LesbianReads
and Herculine by @emotrophywife.bsky.social, a swirling #QueerHorror tale, read for demons and babes.
#WhatAreYouReading?
Rounded out January with Black #speculativefiction and #queertheory.
Babel-17, Samuel R. Delaney
(Imagery, queer themes, language as perception.)
Queer Phenomenology, Sara Ahmed
(Yet another reason why I love her work.)
These books = soothing the heart and brain in these heinous times.
Two viruses and many migraines later, catching up on my spring reads pt. 1
Neuroqueer Heresies, by @dr-nicky.bsky.social. A delight. Read it.
What Feasts at Night, by @tkingfisher.com. Yay, more #gothicqueerhorror!
#neuroqueer #actuallyautistic
As wars rage on, and our rights grow ever wobbly... reading fiction helps, a little.
You Weren't Meant to Be Human, by
@ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social
(trans,
#Autistic, Midwestern, #bodyhorror: I was sat 🪰🪱).
The Rose Field, by Philip Pullman (too much info, not enough time type finale, oh well).
My first reads of February:
What Moves the Dead, by T. Kingfisher (#queer House of Usher retelling yes please).
Out There Screaming, ed. Jordan Peele (#blackhorror short stories and favorite fiction read so far).
Anyone else sleep better when you read #horror before bed? Just me?
Felt particularly dyke-y today, guess it must be #PrideMonth
Kicked the month off by reading @jackhalberstam.bsky.social's The Art of Queer Failure and listening to TJ Klune's Somewhere Beyond The Sea.
