reviews, releases and recommendations of LGBT media
Once again, we’re back after a month’s hiatus with a series of posts. Yes, it’s that time again: releases for the second half of the year! You know the drill by now: each post is separated by genre and will be updated monthly. So, enjoy browsing!

Looking for January to June?
I know the only songs on our minds these days are anything that Saint Levant releases and Hind’s Hall by Macklemore, but here I have for you almost twenty seven (27) hours of music by LGBT artists. So enjoy!
I also compiled a small playlists of LGBT Palestinian artists, if that’s something of interest for you.
I had to make a lot of choices today (we had elections in my country), so as an evening treat I made even more choices and decided which songs should be highlighted in the post itself. Do not ask me what my criteria are for this, by the way: I have no clue. Apart from featuring my favourite songs of the month? And choosing the favouritest of the favourite?

Better late than never, so here it is! The playlist (linked at the bottom of the post) I created with all the songs by LGBT artists released last month. All the songs I know about, of course. Surely, there are many many more, but at the end of the day I am just one person. That’s why I always ask people to submit their music via email! Anyway, hope you enjoy and find here some new faves.

It’s been years of this, so you already know: there are only books with major trans rep here, which is to say with main characters or love interests (or actually important side characters). I like to think that choice is self-explanatory. (And as always, if you catch any mistakes, please leave a comment!)
Also, a lot of those titles are (or will be) available on Scribd, so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)
It’s that time of the month! Today we’re bringing you a quick look at the 2024 middle grade and picture book releases we know about so far. Obviously, this will be updated as the year goes on, so it’s far from exhaustive, but! Something to look forward to nevertheless.
And, if you’re looking, you can find the releases posts for 2023, 2022, and 2021 here, here, and here!
You will notice, upon opening the playlist linked at the bottom, that I’m changing the format of it a little bit. Which is to say I decided to be including all releases from any given month, so whole albums and such. A song I choose from an album might not be the one you will fall in love with, that’s why I’m doing it this way from now on. The playlists will be a lot longer, but I don’t imagine that’s a problem.

First stab at this post brings us 390 sapphic releases for the first half of 2024, which here are split into genres like last year to make your next read easier to find! This is all I really have to say about the post itself because it feels very strange to me to be going about business as usual in the midst of a genocide (which, by the by, several Western countries are now enabling even more than they already were by withholding aid to UNRWA, based on the dubious claims by the occupying state that 12 of its members (0.04%!) were involved in the events of 7th October. Collective punishment, anyone?). So, let me get this message in before the post proper to say: keep watching Palestine and Gaza. Keep contacting your politicians, keep protesting, keep boycotting, keep talking about it all! From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
And hey, a lot of these titles are (or will be) available on Everand (previously Scribd), so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)
January means I tell you about all the LGBT YA books that we know of for this year. Well, this half of the year. So let’s do that. Have fun browsing through about 140 titles.
Enjoy and preorder! And hey, a lot of those titles are (or will be) available on Scribd (I refuse to remember the new name), so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)
Last playlist of 2023 coming to you in the first week of 2024, enjoy! It wasn’t my intention to post this on the 7th of the month, but here we are. Life goes on, unless you’re Palestinian, etc etc.
