The landlord’s lawnmower was coming so I grabbed this before it could be taken out

Just for fun and your knowledge, I'm going to be running a history of queer romance course next year through the Uni of Liverpool. Online and for everyone. I *think* it's the first of it's type in the UK but I could be wrong?

This is absolutely the case. Re. my thread the other day, one thing romance haters rarely engage with is romance as a literature of hope, joy and recognition for marginalised groups. I am old and I didn't happy queer representation before I read queer romance.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

Get someone who looks at you like... like... ummm... excuse me, I'mma run for my life now.

People said such toxically positive things about resilience that I had to leave the webinar. How do people not get it's victim blaming and/or privilege? Or outright lying?

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.

Beta readers are so incredible!

I met a dog

I need some inspiration! Tell me about a fascinating paper you read lately?

I used to be a mammal until I transitioned Now I'm a ma'amal

Sometimes I daydream about having an aestheric author life. It's why I bought a teacup. The teacup was 2 bucks from a yard sale. The tea is 30 hour-old coffee donated to me out of pity. I'm living some kind of author life, anyway.

Jim Henson was a visionary. He imagined what I call a monstrofuturist utopia: a place where everyone's uniqueness was welcome.

Ru Ellis didn’t fight her way to F1 to play nice. Sleeping with her teammate is messy. Learning the legend who tried to keep her off the grid is her deadbeat dad-worse. Then one bad decision at 200 mph leaves her needing the father she swore she never would or watch her career slip away. #DVpit #A
