  • On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden. It is a very fantastic graphic novel / webcomic about found family and queerness, I read it as a teenager and it has heavily affected me.

    The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Also a sci-fi found family story with queer themes but in the form of a novel. The worldbuilding and stories told in the Wayfarer’s series has moved me to tears multiple times <3






  • I also recently got into Buddhism and I would say a good place to start is What The Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula, once you’ve finished that you can check out The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering by Bhikku Bodhi as well! Both of these books will give you a very good foundation.

    I would also advise against fixating on choosing a school or sect, it can lead to decision paralysis and you may just get fixated with a school that isn’t even practiced anywhere near you. Absolutely look into Sanghas near you and base your choices around that! I hope you enjoy your time with Buddhism!
