Hellraiser (1987) and Evil Dead 2 (1987) are on TV so instead of going to bed I’ll stay up, but instead of watching one I’m going to swtich back and forth between them and watch both. We can have it all, people.

So soulful, so queer, SO BISEXUAL 🩷💜💙

Mulan's Reflection: Who Am I Inside?

Alt: Mulan singing Reflection. We watch her reflection in shiny stone with the names of her ancestors written in Chinese characters on it, and are amazed as she uses her sleeve to remove precisely half the bridal make up from her face. Subtitles read: When will my reflection show who I am inside?

Today at the thrift store a younger volunteer was introducing an older volunteer to ALF, which he played on one of the TVs for her. OV: Is that him? YV: Yes! OV:…is he a puppet? YV: Y-yes?

they always show their asses eventually because the thing is that you cannot truly, sincerely care about women if you don’t care about trans women. the minute you carve off any one subcategory of women you claim are “lesser” in some way, you’ve declared women’s rights to be conditional by definition

It’s notable how many anti-trans activists who claim their actions are motivated by a desire to “protect women,” are currently attacking Jane Doe and defending the men who she says assaulted her. It’s almost like “protecting women” never had anything to do with it.

The genocide continues, and our situation is extremely bad. We lost our source of income and everything we own. 3 years without income in Gaza is unbearable. Even $5 makes a difference for food, clothing, treatment, and education. Please help my family 🫂🧡 Vetted by Molly Shah ✅ tinyurl.com/2etna36k

Having trouble deciding which books to buy from Amazon during Prime Days? Try this: None, then go support an independent bookstore instead. 😌

Also, if you're interested in knowing where all the re-tellings came from—some, like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer are obvious enough, but some are definitely not more commonly known tales—I wrote a blog post about it.

All the Origins in “Upon the Midnight Queer”

Yesterday, I went into the story of how “Not the Marrying Kind” came to be, and then a kismet thing happened, and someone wrote a lovely review of the collection as a whole, which included: The one…

If anyone would like to contribute to the "Husky had to go to the emergency vet" and whatever the "get the furnace to provide heat" will require... Early present for yourself or a dozen people in your life? Linked queer retellings of holiday classics, including a Little Village novella. #BookSky

Some people get all the luck, and I mean that, because BEHOLD MR. BINGLEY in all his glory!! 😭🥹 Perfect name, perfect dog, perfect poodle. I’d meet him over ANY celebrity ANY DAY 🤩 (sorry Taylor sorry not sorry) Thanks for sharing @thatkeira.bsky.social! Truly made my day 😄

Keira Perkins@thatkeira.bsky.social · yesterday

Cindy. Guess what. I got to pet the BEST dog today. He’s a standard poodle named Mr. Bingley, and yes, he’s painted like “A Starry Night”

A standard poodle painted like Van Gogh’s “A Starry Night” He’s obviously feeling quite dapper

This a very timely reminder that in 2019 during Trump Administration 1.0, I presented a paper at Ithaca College about why queer historical romance is so important. I have the whole paper/presentation on my website if you'd like some more reasons as to why queer romance is so important now and always

On Accuracy in Historical Romance

Back in April, I presented a paper at Ithaca College’s feminist pop culture conference From Pippi to Ripley on the issues surrounding the perceived “inaccuracies” in historical ro…

Queer romance IS resistance. It is radical to imagine happiness, and community, and joy, when people are trying to kill you, erase you, oppress you, or deny you the right to live a full life in so many ways.

I have a new poem out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social today! It’s my first new poem of the year. “Butterfly Effect” is inspired by all the unfinished stories and all the things I wish we could take back. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/butt...

I always liked this idea: how we’d walk to the end of the subway tunnel and there’d be a door where everyone was waiting on the other side with all the things we’d ever lost.   I always liked how to d...
