captainawkward_feed posted: #1189: “Fox News, Immigrant Family, and the F******* Wedding Invite List”Let’s review the situation: Your uncle has hateful views that are being used to detain, harm, and imprison people and steal their children, and he acts like an aggressive jerk specifically to you, and the rest of your family is somehow surprised that you don’t want him at your wedding? And your parents are blaming you for causing an unforgivable rift in the family if one drunk bigot doesn’t get invited, but not blaming him for being a ranting bigot in the first place? Do we have that right?

( me ranting a bit )
TL;DR: You have a right to safety from abuse on your special day or any other day! If asking for that means that a family member can't be around you, it was their choice to abuse that was the cause of the problem not you!
Podcast Rec: Mabel
Mar. 13th, 2019 04:07 amI thought I would start my podcast series recommendations off with one that defies easy description: Mabel. After this any other series should be easy to fit into my template.
Mabel
Written by Becca De La Rosa and Mabel Martin
Narrated by: Becca De La Rosa
Genre: Fantasy, Gothic Mystery, F/F romance
Length: ~20 Min
Transcript/Text version: Mabel Podcast: Transcripts
My Synopsis: Did you ever wonder what would happen if Gothic horror could be done with fae and lead by Latin women in love? Probably not, but even if you did you probably wouldn't have come up with Anna Limon leaving voicemail for the estranged daughter of her elderly client who lives in the prerequisite possibly interdimensional "House On A Hill" all good Gothic horror needs.
Tags/Warnings: under the cut

If anyone has anything I could add or describe better let me know!

suncani's post Random Assorted Links #3I've talked before about how diverse adult SFF gets so much less attention than diverse YA SFF.

So here's a thread of diverse (AKA SFF by and/or about marginalized people) science fiction and fantasy novels aimed at adults!
A thread with brief descriptions and links to Goodreads pages for SFF books either by and or about marginalized people (includes POC, queer, disability, representation)
