- Reposted by Becca PodosThe @qtlibrary.org is continuing our end-of-year campaign, “From Seed to Shelf” — any amount, large or small, will help us reach our $100,000 goal. And if you want to help in other ways, spread the word or reach out to me for ways you can volunteer!
- Reposted by Becca Podos✨Meet our beautiful new board members ✨ We are so, so honored that Jen Sarduy, Adriana Raines, and @beccapodos.bsky.social have joined our board. Their work fostering communities is exactly what the QT Library needs to continue planting the seeds for our perfect LGBTQIA+ future!

- Reposted by Becca PodosY’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).
- Today begins the annual campaign for QT Library, a Boston-based queer and trans library I’m honored to volunteer with. Spaces that support queer stories and queer communities are as vital now as they’ve ever been, and it would mean so much if you’d help us to re-resource and grow 📚🌱🏳️⚧️ surl.lt/khsjna
- Reposted by Becca PodosITS A BAT DAMN TIME! 🦇⚰️🩸 Dead & Breakfast is out today! Vampires Arthur and Sal just want to live a quiet retirement running a B&B, but when the mayor is found dead in their garden, they must solve the crime to prove their innocence!

- Reposted by Becca PodosUnless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
- Grab your hot pants and disco boots, because it’s pub day for WHAT IF…KITTY PRYDE STOLE THE PHOENIX FORCE? It’s a little weird, a lot timey-wimey, and most of all, a love letter to these characters and comics I grew up alongside 🐦🔥
- Reposted by Becca PodosOk so tomorrow y'all are getting new books by me, @jtewwrites.bsky.social, AND @beccapodos.bsky.social, PLUS a cover reveal by @elizmanderson.com!? Damn, what an amazing day to be a reader📚✨
- Reposted by Becca PodosSome good news! After all that, only O.03% of families opted out of LGBTQ+ Education in Maryland after the Supreme Court gave them the ability to do so. Not just a majority, not just most families, nearly all families want their kids to have access to this education. We are the majority
- Hey that’s me 🐦🔥

- I'm sorry to have to ask, but please don't use the DVpit query link unless I've requested your story; I'm trying to be realistic and fair in my number of requests!
- Welcome back, DVpit! While I'm closed to queries, I'm still looking for some particular stories, so please feel free to submit a query and full here if I like your pitch: querytracker.net/query/BeccaP... (and if I like a project that's already in my inbox, just message through QM to let me know 🙏)

- Reposted by Becca PodosCannot get over this art by the one and only @beccapodos.bsky.social What If Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force is such a labor of love inside & out. If this book had a thesis Id say it’s: Love is an immutable constant, but inspires the greatest change.
- Reposted by Becca PodosAnother violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.
- She’s heeeeere 🐦🔥
- Reposted by Becca PodosThe guy pushing Leucovorin for autism (Frye) works closely and repeatedly with the guy who pushed heavy metal chelation for autism (Rossignol), a practice that has actually killed children.
- Reposted by Becca PodosThe debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.
- There are 12 days ‘til Pryde Month (heh heh heh) and I’m counting down with book quotes from WHAT IF…KITTY PRYDE STOLE THE PHOENIX FORCE? Let’s start with absolute legend America Chavez, for no particular reason 🐦🔥
- Reposted by Becca PodosThis is How We Roll is OUT NOW!! I may not have my hardcover copies yet, but you can venture forth into the world and buy one for yourself! These twelve stories are all directly from the heart, and I’m so proud of all the hard work everyone put into this project. I can't wait for y'all to read it!
- THIS IS HOW WE ROLL, a YA anthology of queer stories about TTRPG, edited by the unmatchable @rosieethor.bsky.social , hits shelves tomorrow. I hope it reaches the readers who need it, like I hope that even in times like these, queer kids will find their way to the tabletop to tell stories together.
- Reposted by Becca PodosHey, did you know my queer TTRPG anthology releases in just SIX DAYS?? It's full of queer coming of age stories set around the gaming table. If that sounds up your alley, you can preorder from Always Here Bookstore to get a signed bookplate and sticker! www.alwaysherebooks.com/product/this...
- You all know how this goes! WHAT IF…KITTY PRYDE STOLE THE PHOENIX FORCE? hits shelves in a little over a month, and now through Friday, all B&N Premium and Rewards members can preorder it for 25% off. Add it to your cart today if you want…
- 🐦🔥 Classic Claremont vibes 🐦🔥 Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff 🐦🔥 Discos dresses and very practical hot pants 🐦🔥 The all-consuming existential angst of wondering whether you could have been a hero in a better world
- Oh hey that’s meeeee 🐦🔥
- Now that @beccapodos.bsky.social has shared this with the world I can scream about this STUNNING art she made for her first draft. I just love it so much & it embodies all the passion that went into making this love letter of a book What If Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force? 10.14.2025 🔥🔥🔥

- Reposted by Becca PodosSickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.
- The @dazzlingbookish.bsky.social special edition of HOMEGROWN MAGIC arrived at last, and ✨🍓oh my god🍓✨

- Reposted by Becca PodosIt's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
