It’s the last day of 2024, so we're looking back at our favourite recommendations of this year. These books and films moved us in a way that's lasting, whether for the message they provided or the comfort they brought. Of course, Tara and Kris also squeeze in some Cracker Barrel discourse (What age is their target audience? What’s the deal with the sodium content?) and chat about gambling and fantasy football. Happy New Years, everyone! Official Recommendations Kris’s top three recommendations for

Hands off our books (QR Bonus 012)

2024/10/01

Project 2025's introduction makes it clear that the very existence of LGBTQ people is under threat, and that includes cutting off access to fiction that represents us. Because most queer fiction is published in the US, that means access could be dramatically restricted for everyone worldwide. And even if Project 2025 isn't rolled out, state-level challenges are unlikely to slow down anytime soon.
