Happy New Queer! I hope 2023 is gentler for you and full of opportunities for relief, rest, and meaning. We've made it through the usual publication dry spell! There's tons of lovely new books to start off our first reading month of the year.

We're here, we're queer, we're full of holiday cheer! Or maybe. I dunno. Sometimes it can be tough. When I'm stuck in that difficulty, I find watching queers being joyful can help.

We're officially hitting the easiest queer-dar season ever. See someone still drinking iced coffee? Oh yeah, you've got your answer.

It's October and the updated Covid vaccine has been released, which means it's time to get your next boo-ster shot. (I'll show myself out. But also go get it.)

Oh, this old thing? It’s just The Queer Writer, a new monthly newsletter highlighting classes, opportunities, and books for queer, trans, and/or nonbinary writers.
