Tube Map of Queer Authors
Look what a UK friend pointed out to me the other day (thanks, Linda!): a Tube Map of Queer Authors put together by the Barbican & Community Libraries, London.
As usual, they’ve mischaracterised me/my work—I should be on a nexus point between the red, yellow, green, and blue lines—and if I had to be connected to only one line, it should be the red one—after all, I’ve written many more non-SFF novels than SFF. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to distance myself from SFF—I love SFF!—but it’s only part of what I do. Having said that, look at where SFF is placed—the smallest line, looped and self-contained, as though SFF has no influence on (or is influenced by) any other literature. Always relegated to the back corner of the store… Or, well, fuck it, no. Let say sui generis (if a whole genre can be singular).
But, hey, it’s a cool map. And I can’t blame the map makers, really—I mean every critic/reviewer and her mother gets confused about what I write; it’s why I hired publicists last year. Sadly, not even they could turn that liner, steaming majestically ahead on its own course 🙄 Oh, well.
As I say, though, still cool: filling the sandwich of Arthur C. Clarke and Octavia Butler. And hey, how could one possibly complain about being on the bottom line of everything, alongside Sappho??

What can I use to make this? Hopefully easily (as in, the lines all move in a group if I need to reposition), but honestly I don't care if not — I just want it to know about curves and gaps, positioning nicely by default.

#London is rebranding its #Overground lines this August. The web of orange on the #tubemap will be replaced by six colours and routes called Lioness, Mildmay, Windrush, Weaver, Suffragette and Liberty.

I know what you're thinking.
Harry Beck's #London #Underground #Map (#TubeMap) is a design classic, making route finding a doddle.
But what does the Underground actually look like?
* How big is the Hainault Loop really?
* Just how far out Is Amersham
* Is the #Overground really that extensive?
* WHOA! is #Heathrow really that big?
All your questions are answered here:
