This is so scary! And could become totally possible in our countries. Homosexual love is not ‘obscene’.

Since January of this year, US government websites have been removing any reference to trans and nonbinary identities---including the website for the Stonewall National Monument. Yes, that Stonewall. But we’re still here, and we’re not going anywhere.

I finished it yesterday!! Even better than book 1

There is no anxiety quite like the waiting room anxiety of waiting to hear back from a job application 🫠

Yes, he's in the process of working out that he's allo aro 🖤💚🤍

In the Care of Magic by Robin Jo Margaret. A white curvy woman standing in front of a kneeling agender demon with grey skin, in the woods

Aromantic spicy fantasy book rec of the day.

A tired witch takes a solo holiday to a cottage and summons an agender, aromantic sex demon to help her… relax. The two have a lot of fun… relaxing.

This is so great! #booksky #queerbooksky #aromanticawarenessweek

AHHHHHH, it's so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD and then watching The Ravening War afterwards is like 🤯

The Bruising of Qilwa by Naseem Jamnia. Illustration of a White City surrounded by red patterns, a large hand dripping blood from above.

Aromatic fantasy book rec of the day.

In a city ravaged by a magical plague, a non-binary aroace healer from a refugee community tries to find a cure.

This was SUCH a brilliant novella. I’m usually scared of medical plots but I was hooked.

Marsha and Sylvia and Holly and countless others won’t be erased. And fuck “LGB” I don’t want anything to do with it.

Werecockroach is a novella about first contact and people who turn into cockroaches. The lead is aromantic, asexual, agender, disabled and non-white. Everyone's working class, except the aliens. It's a gentle story.

Aromantic fantasy book rec of the day.

An aroace student gets turned into a vampire, found by a vampire punk band, and brought into the fold. He’s harbouring a secret however, a mysterious force within him, and it’s getting stronger…

Well, they got me, I've secretly been lying to you all... I don't actually read 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My whole life is apparently a lie 😂

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

I feel that, working out which micro-label fits can be so hard 🫠 I'm similar in that I generally use aromantic but it doesn't quite describe the nuance of my experience

It's not just aroaces, it's for anyone on the aromantic spectrum including alloaros, greyromantics, demiromantics, etc.

As long as they're aro spec, they're included 💚🤍🖤

Oh you KNOW I'll be posting recs all week 💚🥰🤍🥰🖤

I need to keep going with the series as well as picking up Claudie's other books!!
