Look Up London @Look_UpLondon

Hiding in plain sight in Waterloo is the terminus of the London Necropolis Station. Yep, London trains that specifically carried the dead.

The 30,000-foot book is a genre that tries to turn mansplaining into literature.

Should it exist?

This tweet and linked article—my nonfiction #MSWL is the OPPOSITE of these “30,000 foot books”

Seeing all the comments about Met Gala as villains dresses show off the only conclusion I have is that the world lacks fabulous protagonists and that's sad and should be fixed!!!

(ugh, a woman DOESN'T damn typos). Anyway. I realised it isn't really about realism at all. Not even remotely. It's not even about genre convention. It's about the dreams that support the status quo and the dreams that transgress it.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

If there’s one eternal constant to my spec fic #MSWL, it’s the dreams and imaginations that transgress the status quo

Well looks like I don’t have to watch #TheMagicians now. Someone send me a comparable book that’s queer and doesn’t bury the gays #MSWL

L i v @Livforbooks

It angers me that no one has made a historical-fiction apocalypse book. Do you understand the fookin potential? Why is the apocalypse only set in present time??

You’re telling me ZOMBIES or an epidemic wouldn’t be “”realistic”” in the past?? Open your MIND, BRO. IT’S FICTION

Alexander II of Russia assassinated #OTD 1881. Alexander III became Emperor and placed most trust in his brother Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, who stood "at the top of the homosexual pyramid" of Russia (there were at least 7 gay grand dukes at the time) #QueerVAM #YearOfQueers pic.twitter.com/4oSIGHCkdO
