Stardust is a queer, semi-experimental web serial that blends space opera, gothic horror, and dystopia into a color-coded mess of neuroses, hallucinations, teen angst, fucked up family relationships, Judaism, gun kinks, political assassinations, extradimensional tentacles, and bad sex. as of May 2024, we're exactly halfway through book 1, and it's a great time to get caught up!

it updates the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month, and you can read it for free here. readers have suggested you might like it if you're a fan of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Homestuck, Battlestar Galactica (2003), The Locked Tomb, Fortiche's Arcane, Starship Troopers, and/or the music of Ada Rook. readers have also referred to it as "tired middle-aged man yaoi," "yuri shonen," and said they "want to chew on July like a squeaky toy."

I don't know who needs to hear this but yelling at people to boycott Starbucks as a first step to helping Palestine does not do nearly as much as:

Calling your Senator

Donating to a charity like PCRF, UNRWA, or MSF

Emailing your Senator

Actually looking up the companies BDS asks you to boycott (Starbucks isn't on there; you can boycott if you want, but maybe start your call to action with something a little more relevant, like McDonald's or Puma)

Calling your House Rep

Voting in your primary election

Emailing your House Rep

Donating to a pro-ceasefire candidate who's up for reelection this November like Tlaib or Sanders

Emailing the DNC

Learning about the most effective rhetoric for changing minds

Donating to get out the vote campaigns

Emailing your governor

Literally anything that isn't blogging about how boycotting Starbucks being the biggest thing you can do

But especially picking up the phone and calling your goddamn senators

Smugly telling people to stop going to Starbucks does next to nothing. Call. Your. Elected. Officials.
