I don't post here. I'm @lesbrary.bsky.social

I run @Lesbrary and pretty much talk about queer women books 24/7.

Over the years I've maligned so many it's embarrassing. So I've deleted my timeline. They really are doing good work to protect children from what @ALALibrary has been doing.

@manic_femme @margotwood I truly thought the throuple was happening.😭

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@JaeFiction I really don't know why the "lesbian fiction is bad" myth persists. Especially now, when there's more sapphic fiction available than ever before in almost any genre. I can only assume these people don't know how to find good books in general.

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@sassy_librarian That's incredible! It's so easy to feel isolated going up against hate, and I can only imagine how it felt to get this thoughtful show of support.

Sapphic books by Black authors out in 2024: https://t.co/oDf5sovEv8

Let me know if I missed any or made any mistakes!

Reminder: these all have sapphic main characters, but they don't all have sapphic romances.

@exsixtwosix Thank you!! I love being cited in queer academic articles.

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

Just found out an article of mine was cited in a paper called "And They Were Roommates: An analysis of 'straightwashing' history and its impact on modern meme culture, through exploration of r/SapphoAndHerFriend". Incredible.

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@QueenOfRats There is so much pressure on social media to voice your opinion quickly and confidently about everything that happens in the world. It's taken a long time to realize it's always better for me to wait a few days until I actually understand the context before speaking (if at all).

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@benjanun_s Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt, Boys Weekend by Mattie Lubchansky, and Falling Back in Love with Being Human by Kai Cheng Thom

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@sapphicfrances So many! An Island Princess Starts a Scandal, Going Bicoastal, Bookshops and Bonedust, A Haunting On the Hill, What Stalks Among Us, Boys Weekend, The Low Low Woods, Bail & Oregano, Imogen Obviously, Forget Me Not— were there specific genres you wanted? Or just F/F romances?

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@dancingofpens It shouldn't be true, and it's so infuriatingly unfair that it is. Your covers are all gorgeous, but Friday I'm in Love in particular, I always think about how powerful that must be for so many queer Black girls to see on shelves. You shouldn't have to trailblaze, but you are.

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@dancingofpens Truly one of the best leads in a romance movie I've ever seen. I wish he was in more romances!

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@QueenOfRats I'm fine with a negative review for a book, even if it's for purely subjective reasons, but saying no queer person is like this when it's written by a queer person, and then saying it is too terrible to even give away, that it belongs in the trash... 😬

[Danika Ellis @DanikaEllis]

@manic_femme Any review that says, "No queer person is like this" when the book is written by a queer person... 🙃
