    Hi-just as a heads up, I have an older phone with a smaller screen (iphone SE 2nd gen) and it cuts off the screen in a funky way where I can’t see the first row of words. It’s not a huge deal but wanted to bring it to attention if you didn’t know

    Great news re: Stone Butch Blues- it was recently reprinted! The link to buy copies is on Leslie’s website.

    & the link itself

    https://www.lulu.com/shop/leslie-feinberg/stone-butch-blues-20th-anniversary-author-edition/paperback/product-kjqzjj.html?page=1&pageSize=4

    I emailed my library a few weeks ago to suggest they get a copy and I guess they put it on hold for me because got an automated text this week that it arrived :’)
