Been doing a lot of my writing at the library recently, and I'm reminded of how truly remarkable these places are, and Jesus Christ do I ever miss Shelved.

Chris got a Crunchyroll subscription, and he's been watching explosive action and shonen shows, while I've mostly been watching BL. We are challenging traditional notions of seme and uke.

Everyone's talking about the Rizzler, whom I assume is Risley from E.M. Forster's MAURICE, that deliciously chatty fop!!!!!

Just watched The Lion King and saw how Scar was struggling. I wanted to yell at the stage, "Baby, you don't need to pretend you need a queen - be your OWN queen! You live in a gay steam bath with hyena go-go dancers, and that is your truth! Smash the heteronorms of the dynasty! You are seen, bb!"

Have we talked about Sex Education season 4? Because that was a bad season, yeah? Am I alone in thinking this?

I don’t mean to brag or toot my own horn – because most of the time I feel like I "don’t got 'it'” – but today I forced myself to list my accomplishments, creative and professional, over the last couple years, and, for the briefest moment, I felt… really proud of myself.

In my grade 6 history textbook, the artwork in the chapter on the Olympics included old paintings depicting nude men flexing and competing, only edited so they were wearing thin black briefs, but I figured it out, and anyway 26 years later I have a B.A. in Classics.

Another one of my favourite - I will be delicate here - Adult Film Performers has come to Toronto and he has just been spending all his time eating in Scarborough restaurants and that is a bigger turn-on than the p*rn he has done?

Hate when the crossword clue is something smug and vague like, "Hmmm, they daren't, dare they? 😏"

Baldur's Gate 3 is kinda genius because the only way you can get laid is if you learn Dungeons and Dragons first.

I find myself stuck writing an idea I've lost all confidence in, but have to complete. I can't wrap my head around what it's trying to say, and it's become this albatross around my neck. It's sapped my confidence. Any writers dealt with this before? More just looking for assurance.

Hit snooze not because I was sleepy but because I was dreaming about an argument and didn't want him to have the last word.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but it feels like the whole Republican strategy to ruin Joe Biden's reputation via association with Hunter is to expose the President as someone who... loves his son

Not quite sure what to post on here yet, as I'm still too new to post my brand of tragicomic self-effacement, so I'll start with something simple and corny: [To the tune of Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"] MAN COVERED IN CHERRY JELLY: ... 🎶And a doughnut's a messy thiiiiing🎶
