Originally released in 1993, Kathe Koja's queer, body horror / weird fiction novel "Skin" is less a story and more a performance. Or so she explains in this exclusive interview about the new version of it from Meerkat Press.

“It was a future they couldn’t quite see, where the richness of all they had brought to the great land of promise would one day be zapped into nothing, the glorious tapestry of their history boiled down to a series of ten-second TV commercials, empty holidays, and sports games filled with the patriotic fluff of red, white, and blue, the celebrants cheering the accompanying dazzle without any idea of the horrible struggles and proud pasts of their forebears who had made their lives so easy.”

Over on TikTok I watched one video where some BookTok ladies were drooling about super-overprotective kinky spanking cowboys in a BDSM romance and then *swipe* I'm watching all those Idaho Republicans let that lady get kidnapped without lifting a finger and then *swipe* back on BookTok cowboys and then it hit me.

There wasn't ONE damn real cowboy in that whole ROOMFUL of Idaho Republicans.

I only just started this book but I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.

osupress.oregonstate.edu/book/

but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.

You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.

osupress.oregonstate.eduIndigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge | OSU PressWith more than fifty contributors, Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems—relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility—that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges. Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge is an essential resource for students, academics, members of Tribal, state, and federal governments, Indigenous communities, and non-Indigenous allies as well as a valuable addition to environmental and Indigenous studies collections.   Contributors include: Melinda M.
