Any stories any genre that feature butches? Besides gideon the ninth

This is extremely nonexhaustive (and you can always find more at The Lesbian Review, which does a great job categorizing which books have butch MCs), but: https://lgbtqreads.com/representation/gender-identity/

🔎 YA Under the Radar 7 🔍

I have been working on this list in the series all year 😂 it just took me that long to read a decent amount of underrated YA - but I got there in the end and I'm pretty happy with the recs on this list 🥰

there are rainbow flags next to LGBT+ rep, wheelchair symbols next to disability rep and koalas next to Australia YA simply because there's a lot of that on this particular list

so take a gander and maybe consider picking up a title or two (or ten) in 2024 to support lesser-known authors and books 😊

Famous Five Art Nostalgia #13 – Part 1

Introductory post

Masterpost

🐎😶‍🌫️🚂 Five Go to Mystery Moor – La locomotive du Club des Cinq

Original publication date: 1954 (UK), 1961 (France)

(Original cover art by Jeanne Hives, 1961)

In the French version, the book title focuses on the old train engine ("locomotive") that the Five discover on Mystery Moor, so you will find this visual heavily featured in the cover art!

~~~~~~

Plot summary (adapted from Wikipedia):

George and her cousin Anne are spending their holiday at Captain Johnson's Riding School [la ferme de M. et Mme Girard], where George has a rivalry with another tomboy named Henrietta [Paulette], who prefers to be called "Henry" [Paul(e)] . Anne's brothers Julian and Dick come to join the girls and initially mistake Henry for a boy, much to George's chagrin.

(Julian and Dick are waiting to be picked at the bus stop)

(George and Anne look after an injured horse named Clip [Pompon])

Amidst horse rides on the moor, the Five encounter a group of gypsies determined to visit a desolate place called Mystery Moor [la Lande du Mystère].

(Lovely horse rides on the moor)

(Lovely horse rides on the moor)

An elderly blacksmith tells the children how gypsies, in the past, sabotaged a railway run by a family of sand miners, causing most of the family to mysteriously disappear when the moor was covered by a thick mist.

(Old Ben, the blacksmith, tells his tale)

(An evening at the farm: Anne helps Mrs Johnson with the dishes while William [Pierre] (one of the kids from the riding school) struts away) [William is a good kid, really, just a little on the bragging side!]

The Five follow the gypsies to the moor, following signs left by Sniffer as well as the old railway tracks formerly used by the sand miners mentioned by the old blacksmith. They also find the old train engine formerly used by the miners, half buried in the sand and overgrown with heather and gorse.

(The old train engine mentioned by the blacksmith)

(Hiking on the moor)

(The Five call for Sniffer once they arrive on the moor)

On their first night camping on the moor, the Five hear a plane circling low over the area. Intrigued, they figure out over the next day that the gypsies had arranged a signal for the plane. The plane comes back the next night and drops several packages that the Five collect, discovering that they contain smuggled American banknotes, later revealed to be forgeries from France [England 🙃].

The Five decide to flee and hide the parcels before the travellers come to retrieve them. Unfortunately, a heavy mist falls on the moor and the kids get separated. The boys manage to hide the parcels in the old train engine while the girls lose their way and are taken prisoners and held in a cave. Thanks to Timmy, George manages to send a message to their friends Henry and William at the riding school.

(Anne and George manage to loosen their bonds)

Henry and William come to the girls' rescue with Sniffer’s assistance, while Dick and Julian, after an uncomfortable night on the foggy moor, finally find their way back to the riding school, where Mrs Johnson was just calling the police. Thankful for Sniffer’s help, George promises to reward him with a red bicycle and living in a house with a family.

(George and Henry make peace)

~~~~~~

Cover art through the ages:

(Disclaimer: This is not an exhaustive list; sometimes the dates are difficult to pinpoint; and I have purposefully not included editions that re-used similar cover art, with differences only in layout and font style.)

(Original cover by Jeanne Hives, with some nice close-ups of our intrepid investigators – Hachette, 1961)

(This… is decidedly NOT a canonical scene. It looks like the kids are in an amusement park or something... 😑 – Jean Sidobre, Hachette, 1977)

(Umberto Nonna puts the old engine back to its correct environment – Edito Service, 1981)

(Selfie mode! Jean Sidobre, Hachette, 1987)

(Some horses amidst all those train engines, for variety – Yves Beaujard, Hachette, 1991)

(Digging up the old engine – Paul Gillon, Hachette, 1996)

(An extra-rusty old engine from Munch & Prunier, Hachette, 1999)

(In line with their latest safety practices, the girls are now wearing riding helmets. Safety first, always! Frédéric Rébéna, Hachette, 2010)

(Hey, here's a night scenery for a change! Auren, Hachette, 2020)

~~~~~~

Thanks for putting up with these very many train engines – choo-choo! 🚂 – and see you next time! 😊

[xx-obliviousfantasy-xx]

Thank you Hayley Kiyoko, Girl I'm Red, Studio Killers, Steven Universe by the Crewniverse, Undertale by Toby Fox, and Life Is Strange By Dontnod for helping me learn that I am gay.

Also thank you Undertale by Toby Fox, Double Trouble from She-Ra, Lake from Infinity Train, and Steven Universe by The Crewniverse (and Rebecca Sugar) for helping me learn and accept that I am non-binary

And thank you, Saiki K, Todd Chavez and that girl from Sex Education for helping me learn I'm Asexual, Amen 🙌🏽

Also shout-out to my nonbinary English teacher in 9th grade for realizing I was nonbinary before I did but not pushing me! 🙌🏽

Which also, THANK YOU Ellen Wittlinger for writing Parrotfish. I needed that on my Journey to realizing I was trans in 9th grade. Rest in Peace.

Thank you to the authors of Girl Mans Up and Simon vs The Homosapiens agenda, the first queer books I ever read and owned (Becky Albertalli & M-E Girard)

Almost all of the lesbian Tik Tokers I followed in 2019-2021 who then came out as Trans Men 🫡

Thank you to (almost) all the queer YouTubers I watched either while not knowing I was also queer, or just as I figured out I was queer. #respect Joey Graceffa, English Simmer, MacDoes it, Kat Blaque, The Queer Kiwi, Jammi Dodge, Rowan Ellis, Philosophy Tube, Anna Akana, Strange Æons, Ty Turner, A good chunk of Ladylike as well as Eugene Lee Yang, Sam Collins, The multiple Lukes/Lucases, AND ESPECIALLY THOMAS FUCKING SANDERS, Jaiden Animations ( we Stan an ace queen ) GinjaNinja and Szin...I think. I'm pretty sure Szin is queer but idk if I made up GinjaNinja being queer but ykw honorary bc I had a crush on her anyways-

And so many more bruh. (Idk if any of these guys are problematic today)

AND FUCK KALVIN GARRAH ALL THE WAY TO HELL, BITCH. FUCK YOU, FUCK THE DAMAGE YOU COSTED ME ON MY JOURNEY, AND FUCK BLAIR WHITE TOO.

36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You (Vicki Grant)

Max (Gay)

[lgbtqreads]

hi do you know of any queer fiction by canadian authors(i know a dark and hollow star and witchmark are)preferably fantasy but any genre would be fine thanks

Sure - try The Afterward by EK Johnston and Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor by Xiran Jay Zhao. (They also both have queer sci-fi works, as does Amal El-Mohtar - That Inevitable Victorian Thing, Iron Widow, and This is How You Lose the Time War, respectively.) Some other Canadian authors who write primarily/entirely queer fiction are Tom Ryan, Robin Stevenson, 'Nathan Burgoine, Jen Ferguson, Billy-Ray Belcourt, and M-E Girard.

-DIAM_CIRCLE_IMAGE | DIAM_CIRCLE_IMAGE | MORPHOLOGY_EJECTA_1 | MORPHOLOGY_EJECTA_2 | MORPHOLOGY_EJECTA_3 | NUMBER_LAYERS

Heavily cratered terrain on Mars was created between 4.2 to 3.8 billion years ago during the period of "heavy bombardment" (i.e. impacts of asteroids, proto-planets, and comets). Since then the surface of Mars has not been extensively modified. Surfaces on airless bodies such as Mars that have not been subsequently modified by volcanism are "saturated" in craters. Craters appear across the entire surface of Mars, and they are vital to understanding its crustal properties as well as surface ages and modification events. They allow inferences into the ancient climate and hydrologic history, and they add a key data point for the understanding of impact physics. This study, created by Stuart Robbins, presents a new global database for Mars that contains 378,540 craters statistically complete for diameters D ≥ 1 km

World Mosquito Day 2023 par Cell Press

Welcome to the annual observance of World Mosquito Day on August 20th – a day of both reflection and action. This significant date marks the anniversary of Sir Ronald Ross’ groundbreaking discovery in 1897 that forever altered our understanding of disease transmission and the role of these tiny, buzzing insects. As we commemorate this occasion, we invite you to explore this curated collection of Reviews and Opinions recently published in Cell Press Trends journals. We hope these articles will help us unite in knowledge and purpose to illuminate the path toward a future free from the burdens of mosquito-borne diseases.
