As I Librarian, I Love The Idea Of The Queer Community Being More Like A Library Than An Exclusive Club.

Yeah, that looks like my year, too.

For yesterday’s @guardian review

Make a little birdhouse in your soul!

I think I see it

I can’t confirm that the promo code is still good (late-September 2019) because the signature box is currently out of stock.  However, the normal price is about $20 for 30 lunch/dinner servings, plus side dishes, breakfasts, and snacks.  Full Cart also has slightly larger and smaller options, which were in stock when I looked.

You can see what is included in each box at https://fullcart.org/get-started/.  Clicking through to “what’s inside” or “learn more” for each box lets you see the size of the packages included and their ingredients.

Please boost this!

I read Marine Biology when I first saw an ad for The Summage Solution.  I greatly enjoy the Parasol Protectorate series and many of its spin-off, but I wanted to try the shorter story before getting the full-length novel.  I tore through Marine Biology and eagerly went to buy The Summage Solution, only to realize that it hadn’t been released yet.[sniff]  In addition to the Delicate Sensibilities Warning, I would add that this series may be addictive.

Rejoice, Gail fans! Secret Project SAS is finally revealed!

The Sumage Solution is Miss Gail’s first self published novel and is continuation of Gail’s short story Marine Biology. It is first book in her San Andreas Shifters series and will drop July 18, 2017. Just in time for Comic Con! The Sumage Solution stands alone but if you want a taste of the Universe and understand why the pack moved to San Francisco, Marine Biology is a good way to find all that out.

Blurb:

Can a gentle werewolf heal the heart of a smart-mouthed mage? NYT bestseller Gail Carriger, writing as G. L. Carriger, presents an offbeat gay romance in which a sexy werewolf with a white knight complex meets a bad boy mage with an attitude problem. Sparks (and other things) fly. Max fails everything - magic, relationships, life. So he works for DURPS (the DMV for supernatural creatures) as a sumage, cleaning up other mages’ messes. The job sucks and he’s in no mood to cope with redneck biker werewolves. Unfortunately, there’s something oddly appealing about the huge, muscled Beta visiting his office for processing. Bryan AKA Biff (yeah, he knows) is gay but he’s not out. There’s a good chance Max might be reason enough to leave the closet, if he can only get the man to go on a date. Everyone knows werewolves hate mages, but Bryan is determined to prove everyone wrong, even the mage in question.

The Summage Solution 

is available for preorder for Kindle on Amazon, and links to preorders for pdf, mobi, epub, iBooks are available on Gail’s website.

Marine Biology

is also available RIGHT NOW for a whopping $0.99 USD on Amazon, and through a litany of other publishing ways ( pdf, mobi, epub, iBooks) through Gail’s website. Marine Biology was originally published in The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance 2, a collection of paranormal romance short stories.

DELICATE SENSIBILITIES WARNING!!!! 

This story contains M/M sexitimes and horrible puns. If you get offended easily, then you probably will. The San Andreas Shifter stories contain blue language, dirty deeds, and outright admiration for the San Francisco Bay Area. Not for the faint of heart (mouth/tongue/etc.).

This explains a lot.

Apparently by reblogging this screenshot.  I’m not *quite* this bad right now, but being social is hard for me at the best of times.

I’m so glad that the QUILTBAG+ folks I know are welcoming and friendly to all, including asexuals and aromantics!

this pride month if i see ANY of you fuckers including ace/aro identities anywhere, if you even fucking say the words asexual or aromantic in any context of pride in any day this June, you have 0% of my patience and respect. this month isn’t for ace/aro identities and never will be. shut the fuck up.

National Poetry Month continues!  I saw this recently, and it seemed like the perfect companion piece to Shel Silverstein's Invitation.  Here is a Monstrous Manifesto by Catherynne M. Valente.  Stand up!

Sad but true.
