Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.

As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.

If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.

No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.

As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.

If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.

I love trans voices in audio dramas. I love when trans characters are voiced by trans actors and their voice isn't 100% passing. I love that said characters are never misgendered. I love how their voices sound beautiful and authentic. I love that their voces sound like mine or my friend's.

i love that sophie canonically told eliot, hardison & parker her real name like a decade ago, but now, even when its just them four alone, they still call her sophie. on one hand, that's very sweet and significant - as she tells astrid, sophie is her "real name", sophie devereaux has become real through the important relationships she's had as sophie and the way they've shaped her as a person. on the other hand, i think it would be funny if they're not calling her by the "real name" because they forgor

something about tmagp40 i haven't seen anyone else mention yet: heinrich unheimlich addresses alice with the german proper/formal "you" (Sie; used for strangers, acquaintances, teachers/superiors/businesspeople, basically anyone you're not on a first-name-friend-basis with):

...but he explicitly uses the improper/informal "you" for dane (du; used for people you're close with, kids, and is considered uhh... INCREDIBLY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL to use for people you don't know):

(given, "Wie du moechtest" isn't the most formal of phrases ("as you wish" isn't very proper), but there is definitely a way to say it with "Sie"/more formally if you try). he was being rude to dane on purpose. deserved and also hilarious

bonus: he also addresses alice by "Fraulein" near the end of the episode, which is also generally considered outdated/weird at best and condescendingly sexist at worst because it essentially translates to "unmarried woman/'young miss'" (when the term is used in modern-day it's usually an insult, or used by parents to refer to their daughters in a "you're in trouble missy" way). he addresses her politely as a business partner but still uses dated, century-old terms to refer to her rather than just saying "Frau" ("miss"/"woman"/general german term to refer to women in modern day). fascinating guy all around honestly.
