Person of the day is RF Kuang.
A bisexual woman, she is the creator of the Poppy War series, a brutal fantasy trilogy with inspired by Second Sino Japanese War. It is not for the faint of heart.

In the news, there’s a proposed anti-trans rule that would let homeless shelters judge who’s a woman in the US.

In project of the week, Vagabon’s self titled album. Her second album, she produced herself, it might heal you. Or hurt you. Possibly both

Optional Topic: What are some specific LGBTQ+ businesses you want to see more of?
