A delicious, page turning Summer read and debut from novelist Nicola Dinan. It unpacks so many complicated nuances of being queer and in your twenties. Romantic, sexy, vulnerable. First romance centring a transfemme I’ve read and loved published on a larger scale.

Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth is a beautiful book set in the 90s in Ireland. it’s a tender portrayal of first love, growing up and living in a small town.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

It’s actually terrifying at first, but even around the block it’s clarifying and helps me reset. I’ll literally walk out of my office and walk around the block phoneless and count pigeons to get back in my body and press restart.

Erin is at the forefront of trans journalism and focuses her daily newsletter on issues that every other major/minor news outlet is significantly underreporting on or ignoring altogether. Reed’s independent reporting is succinct in ways i personally appreciate because, while it is necessary to stay informed on current policies shifts as it affects my livelihood, I also can’t ruminate in it without giving way to a manically typing “HOW TO LEAVE AMERICA” into my browser while I scarf down a Nerds Rope wishing things could be different. So, for that, I’m fucking grateful she keeps it simple and accessible. Subscribe, share, subscribe, share. Her work is imperative to trans safety and liberation.
