Thursday Recs

[soc_puppet]

What's this I spy? Why, it's Thursday Recs coming in over the horizon!


Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!

Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!

I could recommend specific titles if anyone's interested but I would like to make a general recommendation to read LGBTQIA+ picture books! Checking them out from your local public library (digitally or in print) is also good for racking up circulation numbers so the librarians can show that there is community interest in queer children's literature.

Specific titles would be great! I don't know if you have the time or energy, but if you felt like naming one, three, or even five in the comments every week, I think that would feel a lot more approachable than "Here is an entire catalogue list, go nuts". You don't even have to share anything beyond the title and maybe the author, IMO.

Again, that's only if you have the energy/time/wherewithal/etc, so no worries if you don't. The world is a busy and stressful place, and even putting this idea out there is helpful.

And there are some very cute ones! Julián Is a Mermaid is a favorite of mine.
