I recently read the graphic novel I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner @hari. I enjoyed it! I felt like it was a realistic portrayal of how queer and other marginalized identities could fit in its Regency setting. I particularly liked how also it included race and class issues. A great bonus was the addendum with sources for further historical reading and preparatory sketches from the art's planning stages.

Hey everyone take a listen to another book reading from within the Elder Scrolls world, this time from Skyrim on the topic of the ever-elusive Nightingales
Unlike the first two reading videos (which were clips taken from recent live streams), today, I decided to see how recording it from scratch would feel. I went through the text of the book itself to weed out various errors, recorded it in a way that minimised recording errors, and then further added a little treatment to clean up the audio

HELP TO FUND AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR TRANS PEOPLE FROM RUSSIA
Note: I don't represent anyone from Centre T, I'm just a random person who wants to share and help
Centre T has a shelter in Armenia for trans people that left Russia due to transphobic laws and political persecution, and is currently financially struggling. Because Russian people are mostly poor and can't afford donating, I'm asking everyone on fedi to help to cover at least April.
Regular donations are a priority, but one-off are welcomed too
DONATE: https://buymeacoffee.com/centret
RAISED: €117 of €1,463
BONUS (optional): if you donate, I might offer drawings in return
For that, look at my PWYW FA page https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56045610/ and contact me with proof that you've donated to Centre T
