At last, back to spookytime and only a medium amount of emotional devastation! #gbkhemjira ep 10 let's go

This is so gooooood

Last day to bid! I'm offering a 5-10k fic in any of the following fandoms: Be My Favorite Great Men Academy Moonlight Chicken Midnight Museum Burnout Syndrome The Next Prince Khemjira Revenged Love The Journey to Killing You More recent shows (coughOFDOcough) may also be on the table, just ask!

OFDO ep 2: never have I felt such joy in my heart at the sight of a sweater vest

When I am able to approach it as "find creative ways to show off things about my work I love and am proud of" I rather enjoy it! When I fall into the hole of "figure out what people like and do that" or, god forbid, "be normal" then it's agony.

The thing is, when anyone at work says "have a good weekend" on Friday I'm like "ah, so we are agreed the week is over and I can stop working now"

I went to bed feeling disgruntled about various things and then I had a long dream that culminated in my walking down a street singing Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" and I woke up fixed

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

It's here!! I've been working on THE CITIZEN OF EASTPORT for 5 years and it's finally time to unleash it upon the world. If you like messy queer relationships, intrigue, noir, and butch protagonists, you might want to check it out. Available in ebook and paperback: books2read.com/citizenofeas...

My book is out in two days! 2! I can't believe it's so soon. Releasing 3/3, and here's a trio of ship guides as a teaser. None of them are normal about each other. Many thanks again to @feral-philosopher.bsky.social for the wonderful character art!

I've been stalling on this for so long because this episode is a BUMMER, but if I want to get to the good stuff on the other side I must persevere, so here we go #gbkhemjira ep 9

Watching the fake marriage GL and contemplating the possibilities of a second chance romance where the couple previously had a fake marriage but didn't manage the "falling in love for real" part... then

Watched OFDO this afternoon, now trying to catch up on Yesterday, call this Toxicity Tfriday

MIX SAHAPHAP YOU BEAUTIFUL MENACE, YOU LIGHT OF MY LIFE, YOU WITCH-EYED MINX I'm going to be so normal every friday for the next 12 weeks

The X-Files, a friend printed a few fics out for me to read. I don't know what platforms she was reading fic on, but it was the mid-90s

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

I just finally watched The Ingenious One (2023) and man, what a great show that not enough people talked about! The schemingest man with the prettiest eyelashes, delightful dynamic in the main romance, lots of trust and betrayal and people making smart, grownup choices.

I'm not sure if this is the consolation prize she wanted, but Kaori Sakamoto will always be famous for fostering a period of excellence, grace, and good sportsmanship in women's figure skating, something it was severely lacking. Thank you Kaori, figure skating is better for having you. ❤️

Still haunted by something my longtime best friend observed last week in our many hours of chats: that when she first knew me I actively, continually sought to be understood. These days I'm very private, especially compared to then.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

RIP Robert Duvall, thank you for teaching me at a very young age how terrible rich people are for workers

My personal favorite thing about watching figure skating is when my wife, a proper Sports Fan, says something and then two seconds later the official commentators say the exact same thing. It happens a LOT

I have to haul myself out of this uncomfortable hotel bed so I can, after many long hours, return to my beautiful soft bed at home

this collision of worlds is doing things to my brain

It's so refreshing to read a book where characters do problematic shit without the author feeling the need to make sure we know they know how problematic it is I know why this is a thing but I'm sick to death of it

Walked around Kew Gardens for a couple hours and did y'all know about nature? It is good and being outdoors is good (even in February) Also my best friend of 25 years has become a certified naturalist since we last got together so I learned a bunch of stuff

"Can you share your screen so I can see exactly what's going on?"

I am in London and trying real hard to believe that it is 8:30 am

The strength of his arm, my lover caught me off-guard archiveofourown.org/works/78980596 🪡 beyond evil, jwds, 3k 🪡 erotic tweezeering 🪡 followed by plain old erotics 🪡 their brains are so bad

Okay I'm not sure how well I'll do at the top 5 game since I'm exceptionally susceptible to the "never seen a whosit in my life" condition, but I wish to be asked things so let's go ask me my top 5 anything and watch me flounder

Hate when the visceral memory of an Unpleasant Sensation just shows up and hangs out in my teeth and gut indefinitely

How could I ever quit costume cdramas, where I can get both a) detailed attention to the role logistics and infrastructure play in ruling a country or plotting someone's downfall and b) heroes coughing up blood

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Nabokov The Hollywood Western Love and Death in the English Novel Homeric Greek Criminology in Literature

Nice to see two cities I have called home on this list

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel. Got a cassette tape for my birthday and stood listening in my room, transfixed.

Kat edited my upcoming book and was fantastic to work with!

Contemplating my FTH signup... one of my slots will be the Thai BL umbrella, one will probably be Revenged Love, but what to do for the third... (if there's anything you'd love to have me write, feel free to offer suggestions which I may or may not take)

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

It's that time again--time for FTH 2026, our tenth (!!?!?) auction season! See this year's calendar and supported orgs list on out tumblr: fandomtrumpshate.tumblr.com/post/8055683...

genuinely stunning image

Anyway I think Namping would play a fantastic Jane Eyre

We are immensely proud of @leemandelo.bsky.social and all of our contributors behind AMPLITUDES, for making the @bsfa.bsky.social longlist! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

I need everyone to understand that this could not happen anywhere else exclusively because the people of minnesota started showing up for george floyd and then never stopped this isn't a "sudden event", this is the culmination of nearly seven fucking years of steady leadership and participation

Grim but encouraging thread

I’m usually so bad at taking my own advice, but I’m gonna hang onto this one because I still feel this way. Art by itself won’t save us by itself, but community can. And I think it will.
