Right, now I remember that one of the reasons I never got around to using bsky properly was because I wanted to set up all my resources...and then never did. Sigh

I've opened up my document to do some editing. That is, I've opened up the 'what to fix' document. And then I saw the point that made me rage quit the last time. Ugghg

We love a good shout out early in the morning 😎 💖 Check out Thomas' amazing work! 👇🏼 This new one is Open Access (free to read!)

quote: Further, as recent work by Samantha Aburime (2024) has established, a focus on discourses of authenticity is symptomatic of a regressive, Western-centric approach to BL that aligns with the kinds of conservative politics that queer theory and activism is designed to deconstruct and denaturalise.

Watching Our Youth, and oh, Hirukawa and his circumstances remind me of Aki. I miss MaAki so much, and if I could just get back to editing for the re-release that would NOT be a problem

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

One of the things I dislike about this site is having to go to settings to swap between accounts. I miss the little icons telling me there are notifs on the other 4 accs I manage

I am STILL on chapter 3 btw. Not entirely out of my own fault, but... I think that speaks volumes of how I feel about certain early parts of this book, and why it's getting redone

"Be obsessed with your own stories, be your #1 Fan." is some of the best advice I've seen. I never set out to create something that will be popular either. I set out to make what the Teen me would have enjoyed when I was younger. Also, I hyperfocus on a story and can't stop no matter what.
