My first piece for the newly launched queer health magazine @scripthealth.bsky.social takes a look at post-nonmonogamy. So happy to have been invited to contribute. More to come!

“Pendant un temps, vous avez fréquenté plusieurs personnes. [...] Quoi qu’il en soit, vous avez arrêté. Pas parce que c’était mal, mais parce que la non-monogamie ne vous correspondait plus.” @andreazanin.bsky.social nous explique la vie ‘Après la non-monogamie’ sur Script —

“You used to date multiple people. [...] But somewhere along the line, you stopped. Not because you decided it was wrong or bad to be nonmonogamous. But because nonmonogamy stopped working for you the way it once did.” @andreazanin.bsky.social breaks down ‘What is post non-monogamy?’ on Script:

Hello beautiful! 😍

Today is International Men’s Day. So here’s to refugee men fleeing abuse, trans men denied healthcare, queer men bullied for being different, Black men racially profiled, disabled men excluded from work, and all the other men who fail at being “real men.” May we continue to cultivate our humanity.

It's true. This is what fully broken trust looks like. It's never putting so many eggs in that basket ever again. The world will never go back to the way it was before the orange menace took power, not in a dozen more administrations. Not in my lifetime.

Much respect. #cycling 🏳️‍⚧️💚🚲

I mean, there hasn't been a lawful justification for most of the bombings but targeting refugees in a whole other country is reeeaalllly high up on the No This Is Neither Legal Nor Moral list

It's remarkable how straightforward and solvable most societal problems seem as long as you don't know shit about them

That's why you WHAT NOW? *headdesk*

The witch made him hot chocolate. "They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am." He took a sip. "They say I can overcome any hardship." "Mm," said the witch. "And I can. I do." The witch said nothing. "But I shouldn't have to!" "No." The witch held the hero as he wept. "No, you shouldn't."

LOL yep. I still remember when some 20-year-old queer told me with great confidence that protest doesn't work and all our victories have happened through legislative change. The level of ignorance was frankly astonishing. Like ummm HAVE YOU HEARD OF A THING CALLED STONEWALL, YOUNG MAN.

Tried a new oolong this weekend, called Bai Hao (or Oriental Beauty). It's a rare Taiwanese oolong harvested only once a year, and it has a few unusual features. For starters, it's what's known as "bug-bitten"—meaning literally chewed on by insects (the tea jassid leafhopper, specifically).

As a freelancer sometimes I just catch a wave of energy and ride it til I check off all the deadlines and then I feel very virtuous and good. I don't exactly regret doing this tonight. But also holy mother of gawd am I gonna be short on sleep on this lovely Monday, I have a meeting in three hours.

I'm selling some shoes and a couple of buyers are in the States, so I'm having to navigate the new shipping process. You have to download an app that uses AI to calculate the duty to prepay, get a code once you've paid, and give that code to the post office to actually ship. OMFG it's SUCH a pain.

Current bouquet! I don't usually gravitate toward roses, but the light orange colour of these really appealed. My space has a lot of green so orange is always a contrasting pop of colour, and these reminded me of Fanta or fresh-squeezed juice.

Book recommendation for 2026: WHEN TREES TESTIFY by Beronda Montgomery coming January 20th 2026. “Trees hold the transformed breath of decades of human life... and testify to history and those of their past” I quick thread 🧵 reviewing this book! #booksky #womeninscience #botany🌱 #BlackHistory

#manicure #extremityfetish This week, I branched out. Instead of a Mooncat polish, I chose one from Holo Taco, another indie brand. They make lovely stuff, but most of it is just doing one thing at a time, whereas Mooncat almost always has more going on in a given formula.

Inspired by a recent @cheesesexdeath.bsky.social post, I put together a little cheese snack for a small gathering today: a soft and scoopable Château de Bourgogne, mixed root vegetable chips and maple-onion jam. It was rich and delicious! Very autumnal.

I have become aware that a point arrives every autumn that I can only call Hibernation Time. Body just wants to sleep and be cozy. No exercise. No work. No nothing but sleeping, with occasional foods. Realistically I have to push back on it, as shit must get done, but it is SO HARD.

fucking botchery

This is wild. I don't remember the mechanics of how I was taught to read. But it definitely wasn't three-cueing. This method seems totally absurd to me. Do teachers expect that kids will just read picture books their whole lives? (The whole thread is worth a read.)

Oof. Just had a bit of a gut punch, in a sort of amorphous way. When I was 25 or so, at a conference, I met a gorgeous, gallant, gentle butch who was then in her mid-50s. We struck up a strangely intense romantic connection and sustained it in a very old-fashioned way via actual letters. ...

Well clearly this is now a thing I need classycards.ca/products/bag...

Stunning photos in this thread of comments, wow. Can't see a thing from here in Toronto, the sky is too cloudy, but it's amazing to see what's happening above the clouds.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Always a good day to reshare this incredible cover. Give it a listen, you won't regret it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkWb...

"Risk irrelevance" OMFG. Do they mean the "transformative potential" for AI to make it really easy for students to not learn anything and turn in garbage papers? That kind of transformation? It's gonna be WILD when people who never actually learned anything in school try to run the world...

"Behind the photo ops and talking points is a party cracking under the weight of its own toxicity. ... You don’t build a government by crushing dissent. You build it by commanding respect." The only thing shocking here is how long it's taken for the implosion to start. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

A little more good news out of the States! This and Mamdani in a single week... I love it. thehill.com/regulation/c...

#manicure #extremityfetish I didn't know, when I chose a thermal polish for this week (Twilight Sonata by Mooncat), that I'd have such a convenient opportunity to show off its warm/cold colour-changing properties. 😑 Anyway, here it is: deep royal blue when cold, purple when warm, & a fun transition.

Oh wow, what a gorgeous piece of writing. And so exactly it.

I bought some pumpkin donuts at Downey's Pumpkin Farm a week and a half ago. Went stale. I decided to try a thing: I sliced one, toasted it, crumbled it over vanilla Hagen Dasz, and added crumbled pecans and pumpkin seeds. Not bad at all! Next time I'll add a shake of cinnamon and nutmeg. 😋

Say what you will about the guy, but he's very sensible.

I was doing touch-ups yesterday and decided to see what it would look like if I added one coat each of Mooncat's Nirvana Pro X and Foxfire toppers. With the huge flakies of NPX I'm not sure you can tell Forbidden Cove is under there. But I'm still into it! Rainbow flakes on black FTW! 😃

no one hates women like transphobes hate women. you wouldn’t go through life treating trans femmes like they’re using cheat codes if you believed cis women could actually just be better at stuff than a man

1. WOW WTF 2. Trust is earned, and generative AI has done exactly everything exactly the opposite of what would be required for that. It wouldn't need weird-ass culty propaganda if it just were... not evil. 3. This fucking timeline, ugh

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

This is such a great breakdown of what happened in New York. Also gleeful, which honestly is exactly the right tone tonight.

Oh my gawd, he did it. Mamdani took New York. I'm totally cheering from up here, this is such a huge win! And it gives me so much hope about Americans' ability to push back against fascism. (The man will 100% have a target on his back, of course. I hope he stays safe.) www.cbc.ca/news/world/n...

Cannot stop staring at the moon right now, she's so beautiful 😍

Flu and COVID shots, check! Smooth and easy. Yay vaccines 😁💉🩹💉🩹💚

I just want to know what "soy-faced" means 🤔 Also, what's it like to feel this much contempt for this many people because of their fashion choices? Sounds exhausting. Perhaps he's jealous. It's tough to be stuck with ill-fitting khakis, polo shirts and cheap red baseball caps as your aesthetic.
