Transcript below the cut.

There are currently THREE FEDERAL BOOK BAN BILLS aiming to ban all TRANS BOOKS from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661
June 2026 / Maia Kobabe (a trans author, for three years in a row the most challenged author in the U.S.)

HR 2616 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools if they āteach or advance concepts related to gender ideology,ā as defined by an Executive Order signed by Trump in Jan 2025. It would also cut funding from schools unless they require āparental consent before changing a minor's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form.ā HR 2616 HAS ALREADY PASSED IN THE HOUSE! Please call your Senators to say NO ON HR 2616!Ā
Page 3:Ā
HR 8705 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which teach ādiscriminatory equity ideology or gender ideology,ā as defined by two Executive Orders aimed at suppressing ācritical race theoryā and trans representation. This bill is named after the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, āThe Charlie Act.ā HR 8705 has passed out of committee, but has not yet been introduced in the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 8705!
Page 4:Ā
HR 7661 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which offer material deemed āsexually oriented," treating any LGBTQIA+ identity as sexual content. It specifically forbids āgender dysphoria or transgenderism,ā and ālascivious dancingā (drag). This bill, titled āStop the Sexualization of Children Act,ā has 22 co-sponsors and has passed out of committee but has not yet been introduced to the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 7661!Ā

CALL SCRIPTS
āMy name is [name] and Iām calling from [city, state, zip code]. Iām asking [Senator] to vote no on HR 2616. I oppose HR 2616 because it would restrict studentās access to books and it would specifically harm trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and protect queer students!ā
āMy name is [name] and Iām calling from [city, state, zip code]. Iām asking [Rep] to vote no on HR 8705 and HR 7661. I oppose these bills because they would restrict studentās access to books and accurate history, and would especially harm BIPOC, trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and support public education funding!ā
Page 6:Ā
Author Maia Kobabe: If HR 2616, HR 8705, or HR 7661 pass, it would be almost impossible for any public school in the U.S. to offer or teach my books, unless theyāre willing to risk their federal funding. Students would be even less likely to learn about trans stories or accurate U.S. history.Ā

Youāve finished your favourite hit audio drama. Now youād like to try another one ā but which one? If you loved The Magnus Archives, you don
These are the fiction podcasts that are perfect for fans of Sherlock and Co., WtNV, The Black Tapes, The Magnus Archives, Old Gods of Appalachia and more. Whether they have similar settings, romances, characters or vibes, they might be your next favourite listen.
yknow its interesting how something can impact one demographic in a completely different way than everyone else. in the exorcist when the demon starts speaking in greek, to most people its creepy. but if youre greek and you suddenly start hearing the demon speak perfect fucking greek its genuinely the biggest scare of the movie. you just do not expect to ever hear your language in american movies so it catches you so badly off guard, it feels like the movie is talking directly to you
the first time my dad saw it, it was with his american friends. and when she started speaking greek he turned to one of them and was like "re malaka did you hear that in english?"
āIt just means you have to work double as hard as most people!ā
Well maybe I donāt WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe Iāve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and itās led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I donāt have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DONāT have to work double as hard!! Maybe if thereās the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because Iām already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!
Why do you think disabled people deserve less rest than mentally & physically abled people?

I love these two so much <33 I'm really enjoying how they're not rushing the romance. Their moment in this episode was particularly sweet because of how simple, but impactful it was.

Translation notes below.
ReFa is a Japanese brand that specializes in beauty products. They even have a collection that focuses on heart-shaped products. However, in the drama, they pronounce it as refa (ć¬ćć”), not the usual rifa (ćŖćć”) which is used for the brand (to not be associated with the brand).
For example, this one goes for 3,000 yen.
About Mui no Souen (ē”ēŗć®č¼ē): This could be translated as "Blue Flames of Idleness", but I have no context for it, so I kept it romanized.
In entertainment industry, producer is usually refered to as "P".
Not sure where the info about Marv's age came from, so I just kept it more vague since I can't find any mention of him being 35 in the movie.
"Friday Movie Night programme" - I wasn't sure how to translate this well, but Kinyou Road Show (Friday Road Show - "road show" is used for premieres) is an NTV programme slot which broadcasts foreign and also domestic movies. This is an extremely popular slot which has been around since 1985. "Home Alone" is often rebroadcast on this slot as well.
i just tried to report an obvious scam tumblr account because its impersonating someone else asking for verification, but tumblr doesnāt allow reports of fraudulent activity like that unless theyāre coming from the person being impersonated
but its tumblr being (VERY POORLY) impersonated??
so fuck me i guess. theyāre not gonna do anything of their own volition so whatever. @staff
In honor of us working toward our next stretch goal, an original FLY theme song, I wanted to share the playlist that helped shape the story while I was developing it.
A lot of these songs became part of FLYās DNA. They helped me find the story and the feeling of freedom at the heart of Eliās journey.
Any theories about which songs inspired certain moments?

one of the most frustrating subgroups here is people who have made no attempt to curate a sense of taste and get threatened by and lash out at people who have. like its not enough for them to enjoy wildly successful mainstream media, they need to be able to enjoy it without ever feeling self conscious for this. and you can make them self conscious about it just by straightforwardly talking about your own subjective preferences for less broadly appealing works. i feel bad for them because if you can only like stuff as long as majority consensus said its good youre just hardlocking yourself out of 90% of media on the planet. must suck to feel like any complete stranger with a blog has the capacity to prevent you from enjoying the kind of art you like.
Y'all wanna know a trick? A trick as to how you can better understand the mentality of someone who is antiblack (particularly white, but tbh it works on anyone who really buys into antiblackness), if not make them do an Ace Attorney Blow Up? š
I was being facetious with the trick part lol but you know the joke "I might be racist, but you're mean and that's worse?" It's the root of that. We discussed it back when we read White Fragility. You can see it in Trump, Elon Musk, and your average Tumblr racist:
They really, REALLY want to be liked. Not just liked, no that's not the right word, but validated.
Think about it this way. Racism is the status quo; the default, right? Part of maintaining that default is through normalization, and that includes the solidarity necessary to reinforce that (DiAngelo called it white solidarity).
So, if being covertly racist is the status quo, then that means you will be socially rewarded for being so. When you get rewarded, people are nice, friendly, relatable, they keke and haha right alongside you. But when you confront someone's racism, you're not socially rewarding them anymore- the spigot of validation has been paused! Instead of taking it as a valid critique, you are seen as socially punishing a person. You're being MEAN, because the validation I got from everyone else's also-racism was NICE!
That's why when you confront racism, you HAVE to stand firm on it. You cannot feed into the desire for the validation of their behavior. That's what makes a lot of people snap. The blowup is meant to stop you, to force you back into compliance! The only one being punished really is you for bringing it up.
And hell, if not socially validating a bigot is punishment... š Why would that be... A bad thing? We're not hitting you with rocks, we're just saying we don't fuck with you and your behavior. (But that's also a part of really all of the books we've read in #cbc book club so far; that antiracism is seen as violence.)
Personally, I wanna live in the world where it's normal to boo racists, not coddle them. But that starts with being willing to push back against the normal we're in.
Writers should start getting their first completed polls around now- I hope that this series has been going well for you!
Also, a reminder that book club starts back up on the 14th- we start reading Medical Apartheid. I'll update with the chapter schedule when we get closer to šš¾
š CBC Book Club resumes on Sunday, June 14th š
(I.e., tomorrow)
Book: Medical Apartheid- Harriet A. Washington
Lock in, because there are 15 chapters in this book! We are reading two chapters a week, starting with the Introduction and Chapter 1.
In order to save myself time and stress, I will only be posting up to six quotes per chapter. I say this because if I had to quote everything important in this book, I'd quote the whole thing š¤£ so if you have questions about further context, I'll be honest with you- reading the book will almost always be my first response for best understanding.
If you are someone who wants to understand and/or write antiblackness in medicine and disability, this is going to be the book for you! It is focused on antiblackness in medicine in America, with connections to Africa as well. So it's not going to ever be a complete resource. But it's enough to get a grasp of what sorts of systemic worries we may face being ill while Black.
Long before colonialism, when gender was policed and queerness was punished, Trans+ communities in the Philippines were sacred
Long before gender was policed and queerness was punished, they were sacred.
In the Philippines, trans and gender-diverse people once stood at the centre of spiritual life. Precolonial Filipino societies recognised figures known as babaylan, ritual leaders primarily in the Visayan region who served as healers, spirit mediums, historians, and political authorities.Ā
Many babaylan were women, while others were asogor bayog, who were described by Western accounts as effeminate men or transgender individuals. Their gender variance was not only accepted but revered. Their authority did not exist despite their gender expression ā it existed because of it.

I think one of the things especially well done in The Goblin Emperor is that itās an in-depth depiction of extremely rigid etiquette around a monarch that isnāt intended to signal that the monarch is an asshole.
Like, ok, a lot of SFF includes characters getting suddenly elevated to a position of power they werenāt socialized for, and every time it happens I want to see how it changes their relationships and how they deal with it when the way people treat them shifts.
And I donāt mean in like a hackneyed kidās-cartoon āthe family got rich suddenly and now the kidās an assholeā way, I meanā¦ well, youāre now Everyoneās Boss, or youāre the guy who just became vitally important to the rebellion because you can blow up planets with your mind. Maybe your closest friends would still be casual with you but a lot of other people wonāt be, and while you can encourage people to not get overly bootlicky to you, the one thing you canāt do is demand they be casual since that is just as much an abuse of power as demanding groveling.
Which is why itās so annoying when a story chickens out and goes with either āthis character is an asshole so they demand formality and therefore grovelingā or āthis character is nice so they donāt demand anything and everyone treats them the same. Donāt worry about it.ā
Like, formality around people in positions of power didnāt develop solely because in ye olden days we had the divine right of kings. Thatās part of it sure, but formality is also protective, and I donāt mean for the monarch. If there are rules about how you interact with someone below you in a hierarchy, those rules protect both of you. It makes it easier to not accidentally fuck up an interaction in a way that gets someone stabbed by a bodyguard, or referred to HR.
Having formal etiquette established doesnāt necessarily make the people involved assholes, and continuing with a casual atmosphere doesnāt necessarily make the protagonist cool and nice. All of which means people in this situation should struggle with it. Being a cool chill person isnāt a get-out-of-hierarchy-based-social-complications free card.
