I read this as a judge and found it to be a wonderful science fiction fairy tale filled with Heart and whimsey. @al-distortion.bsky.social has crafted a comical, poignant, heart-breaking sci-fi fantasy. Loved it.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

This is my favorite of Darby's books so far! (I have a weakness for liminal spaces and 80s vibes and who doesn't love a choose-your-path book?) Did I mention I also did the cover painting?

Do you need a (literary) escape from your dismal country? I have an exit plan. But our time is limited. Translating Glagolitic/Old Slavonic isn't necessary, but you do need to be observant over the next week to find your way there. New messages tomorrow...
