and what if I said I had more books coming out with @peachtreeteen? TWO more books about morally-grey, bloody-mouthed autistic trans boys, coming in 2026 and 2027. I cannot WAIT for y’all to meet Morgan and Blythe 🙏🔥
A publishers weekly announcement reading: “Ashley Hearn at Peachtree Teen has bought, in a six-figure deal, two novels by Stonewall Honor author Andrew Joseph White, once again featuring transgender, autistic protagonists. In You're No Better, Morgan Slaughter must contend with his fame-hungry mother, a true crime-obsessed classmate, and his own destructive impulses to prove he is nothing like his serial killer father. In Beast//Warden, cursed boy Blythe plans to kill the other apprentice vying for the dangerous position of Beastwarden, ensuring his survival in a vilage that hates him, only to become entangled in a monstrous love story instead. Publication is planned for fall 2026 and 2027: Jennifer March Soloway at Andrea Brown Literary Agency sold world English rights.” There is also character art, which is described later in the thread.

hozier in glasgow tonight: “to see peace, safety, and security for every person on the planet will mean seeing a palestine free from occupation, a palestine free to exercise self determination. if you feel moved to contact your representatives i so strongly urge you to do so”

So. Metal from Heaven. @sapphomancer @ErewhonBooks I adored every heart break moment of it. It’s a bitter triumph with an oil-slick beauty. I’ve wanted this book all my life. Now that I’ve got it, it’s gonna stay with me for the rest of it. This one’s for the dykes.

And also needs to be said: the reason why the death toll in Gaza hovers at around 32,000 people is for the same reason the death toll from Covid during the Biden Admin stays at 800,000: because they took away any capacity to continue to count the dead.

From Bisan on IG: “I’ve spent my whole life in Gaza and I’ve never felt hope like now. Magical feelings running in my veins.” Students - the whole world is watching. And you’re inspiring us all Don’t stop. Never back down. A #FreePalestine in our lifetime.
