A guy wrote "war is war" on my tweet about children in Gaza so I spent 368 hours sourcing historical death tolls from the deadliest conflict zones so we're all clear that Israel is massacring kids at a rate that surpasses the genocidal campaigns of the world's most evil dictators

One of the things I’m learning as I read more of these is that we do a disservice by calling them “gay pulps” or “lesbian pulps.” There are far more trans narratives than have been acknowledged. This is seldom reflected on the cover (this is a rare exception). #DailyPaperback
