An excellent start to Lesbian Visibility Week.

It's Lesbian Visibility Week 🏳️‍🌈👩‍❤️‍👩

So...

Go ahead: perceive me, textually!

(I'm happy to say, there are dykes as far as the eye can see in every book I've written: horror dykes; con artist dykes; Dykes To Watch Out For, Lest They Turn Into Werefoxes...

You can't go wrong)

A pink background decorated with rainbows and dashed lines in the colors of the lesbian pride flag. The text reads, “Lesbian Visibility Week Bundle; 94 sapphic & lesbian books for $40 USD; 4/20 - 4/26; exclusively on Itch.io”

It begins! For #LesbianVisibilityWeek you can get 94(!) works of lesbianful goodness in this amazing Itch bundle for just $40! Magica Riot and Magica Riot: Full Bloom are just two of the things contained within! Books, zines, comics, RPGs, and more! So much sapphic goodness! itch.io/b/3635/lesbi...

I love this song about grief by @posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online. (I had to cut it down to under 3 minutes). Please donate to @ottawatranslibrary.bsky.social! It's not too late!

Thank you so much to everyone who performed in, watched, and donated to the AMPLIFY telethon!

We raised over $10k!!!

Everything we do is possible through donations and the support of our incredible community. Videos of the stream are still available on our YouTube: www.youtube.com/@Ottawa-Tran...

Happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek!

It's a perfect excuse to drop by and pick up a book about lesbian characters or experiences. Here are some recommendations from our collection!
