Here is a list of noteworthy books that are directed towards the #LGBTQ+ community. I tried to not go overboard so I kept it down to the ones I have actually read or been introduced to. I did not intentionally leave anyone off of this list. Feel free to add more to the comments section!

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there
for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

Got to work this morning, and professor brought their class to work in #ReferenceDesk area. Great, except no prior warning. So minute I walk in I am hustling and answering questions.
Today's topic: Bible interpretations and commentary. They get a passage and answer questions.

We'll take this a day at a time rest of the week.

February 24th - A Journey with Goddess.
Olwen - Welsh goddess of the sun.
In The Mabinogion (a collection of Welsh folk tales & mythology), Olwen is described as possessing radiant beauty, with skin that shines like the sun. The sun finally shone here in London, and so we welcome Olwen.
