Ghost Flock by Alasdair Wallace (b. 1967)

The post with the free PDF of Stone Butch Blues is circulating again, and I’ve failed to see anyone mention this, so: Yes, Leslie Feinberg is an LGBT+ icon and hir novel is an indispensable piece of history that has helped so many lesbians and transmascs understand the cultural context of their identities. I am not arguing against that. However, it contains at least seven or eight, more if I recall correctly, rape scenes and references to rape and sexual assault within the first like 100 pages alone, so if you’re someone who’s sensitive to that, this may not be a piece of media you can safely engage with.

The copy of Stone Butch Blues given to me by an elder ten or so years ago had all of the sexual assault scenes highlighted so that anyone reading it could either choose to skip it or at least have warning, so maybe we could do something like that for a PDF?

A follower of mine was able to go through and create a highlighted version!

Here are the links:

UFile

I haven’t been able to personally verify that every little thing is highlighted, so if something is missing, e-mail me at roswell.newton.vargas@gmail.com and I can see about having it edited in!

Oh! Worth noting that instances of police brutality have also been highlighted, if that was a concern for you.

I'm like a girl who wants to read more books but doesn't

little collage about travel & loving forever & things feeling "real" (ft. the greyscale version for fun and sizing)

someone correcting me on something i said to be silly on purpose and now theyre treating me like im stupid

IM PLAYING! IM PLAYING!!!! WHY ARENT YOU PLAYING WITH ME WHY ARE YOU PUTTING AWAY OUR TOYS

me and a girl locking eyes across the dance floor bc we're both wearing earplugs in the club

Ppl who had time for romance in high school we are so different. i was busy fighting for my life in my head

actually i don't want to see pride slander. yes the corporations suck but have you considered that it rules to get high and watch drag shows and dance to local acts in the park? or if that's not your thing, have you checked out pride month programming? gone to Q&As with old-school activists who built LGBT healthcare centers from the ground-up in the 80s or outdoor screenings of the birdcage? don't let the corporations convince you pride belongs to them.
