Queer Love in Color<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Jamal Jordan<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cJune is Pride Month and I love reading stories that celebrate the love and relationships of queer people of color. This collection offers an intimate look at what it means to live at the intersections of queer and POC identities today, and honors an inclusive version of love, affection, and family across the spectrum of gender, race, and age.\u201d <\/span>

Joe vs. Elan School<\/span><\/i><\/b> by \u201cJoe Nobody\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cThis is a <\/span>webcomic<\/span><\/a> and soon-to-be-published graphic novel by and about a person who was sent to the now-shuttered Elan School. The comic highlights the lasting impacts of the profit-driven \u2018troubled teen\u2019 industry on kids and how hard it is to bring down powerful institutions. It’s a visceral reminder for me of the fact that reproductive justice includes the dissolution of all oppressive systems and how much work is left to be done.\u201d<\/span>

Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Miss Major Griffin-Gracy and Toshio Meronek\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cMiss Major Griffin-Gracy is an important activist and queer, black elder and she co-wrote this volume with Toshio Meronek. I am looking forward to this because I think history is more real, relevant, and impactful when we hear it in the voices of the people who lived it, and movement elders’ voices remain relevant, especially right now.\u201d<\/span>

Wrath Goddess Sing<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Maya Dean<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cIt’s a really inventive retelling\/remix of <\/span>The Iliad<\/span><\/i> centering on Achilles, who’s been reimagined as a trans woman. There’s lots of classic Greek mythological figures reimagined as queer and\/or trans folks, there’s romance, there’s sword fighting, there’s revenge and affirmation, and Achilles is a total badass. As someone who was a total Greek mythology kid, its just been a really fun read so far!\u201d<\/span>

Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Tricia Hersey<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI am on a lifelong journey to unlearn capitalism and the way I\u2019ve been taught to value ~productivity~ above all else. <\/span>Rest Is Resistance <\/span><\/i>rejects hustle and grind culture by advocating for \u2018naps, sleep, slowing down, and leisure in a capitalist, white supremacist, patriarchal world.\u2019 I am currently on the waiting list at my local library, and I can\u2019t wait to get into it!\u201d<\/span>
