Books are alright, i guess. I mainly read queer, trans, BIPOC, and disabled authors. My favorite genres at the moment are: speculative fiction, romance, middle readers, and world folklore. For nonfiction, i love reading interesting history, disability justice, and evolutionary biology. Among my favorite authors are Octavia E Butler, Yosano Akiko, Zora Neale Hurston, Alyssa Cole, Zitkála-Šá, and Astrid Lindgren.
