Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Finally finished it! I’m always slow with short story collections, but it wasn’t helped by the fact that I was enjoying Nuns so much that I read both Pirates and Burglars and Tyrant Fate in parallel with it. Absolutely adored, some of the most fun I’ve had reading all year. 111
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You’re not interested in the raw thrill of Vegas Mode? 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I hope it’s temporary. You just know that feeling it kick in is half the fun, it’d be a shame to only get that once. 000
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think the thread got broken, could you repost the rest of the recipe please? 🙏 🙏🙏 So excited to make this!! 030
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That’s so fucked up. Gave what I can (also recently terminated), hope surgery and recovery all go well, and you’re back on your feet soon! Give em hell in court 041
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It has 7 chapters on ROM, first three published within a couple days, then progressively longer gaps and simpler language. Author notes all apologize for the wait, referencing a need to plug their laptop into something on the desk in order to upload. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Idk, it’s not your usual style, but I think you nailed it with “The Most Cohesive Album of My Life (With Claire’s Help, Shout Out Claire, Couldn’t Have Done it Without Her)” 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I hate how relevant On the Wrong Side continues to be 1140
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Knew it was coming but not when and it still got me. 000
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Finally caught back up on waitress the other day so now I can be even more excited about this 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I don’t have an inner monologue, so the experience is different, but the impulse sounds the same. Still working on the stupid/annoying part, but one thing that helps me with the first bit is remembering that I’ve done plenty of things I wasn’t allowed to, and by and large those were great decisions 011
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Oh, rad! I hadn’t come across kinksheet either, probably because I was mainly looking at Y/N/M formats. Honestly, no suggestions jump out, it’s a nice list. The stuff I did differently was more because I was making it with me/my partner in mind, so I knew certain areas could get more granular. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Oh, damn, this is great! I was putting together a yes/no/maybe template a few months ago because I couldn’t find one I liked, but I 100% would have just used this. It’s exactly the format I went with and a very similar list. 110
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Oh, hell yeah , I had the downstairs almost exactly right! 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That’s actually where most of his money comes from, believe it or not. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Love the high standard for NYC queer bar bathroom graffiti. Big fan of the bar in Brooklyn with one of those “a trans woman peed here” stickers, with “bitch who else do you think is peeing here??” written under it. 001
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 11/09/2026As you should be!! And love Submechanophobia, btw. My favorite of the very special singles so far. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I was denied care there for gumbo seeking behavior 020
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yeah, this was my thought also. I feel like that’s why Thor is portrayed as a chill, goofy guy, just very much not the kind of person Kris wants to hang out with. Plus it allows Kris to have a partner and a relationship with Billy without cheating 040
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Glad to hear about the clean bill of health, even if it comes with an asterisk. I know you’ve got some tough follow-up ahead of you, but at least this hospital trip is done. Sounds like you’ve more than earned that burger, and I hope it’s delicious. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 10/09/2026A DC music festival just added 3 rad new artists and half the comments are “awesome, yeah, but why is Stella Lefty still playing?” and every time it makes me laugh 030
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Newborns, however, can get fucked. Haven’t earned a goddamn thing. They can love themselves tomorrow. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Yeah, I feel this deeply. I just cannot imagine what it would feel like to love my body. fwiw: I know you don’t feel like you do, but you do deserve it. We all deserve self love. We don’t always get it, but we deserve to try. Every day you survive, which is fucking hard, you earn that for tomorrow. 110
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Checks out, that’s consistent with my experience 000
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Oh, okay, rad. Then yeah, all the time. It’s good shit. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Honestly not often, which I have mixed feelings about. I can choose whether or not to show or act on those emotions (obviously with exceptions in extreme cases), or take steps to stop myself from stewing on it, but I can’t really turn the feeling off once it’s there without managing the stimuli 100
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Totally. You can feel it so much in the ways that mechsplo is so often about warping and corruption and patience, rather than acting directly. That scene in TMIW that's split between the two characters on facing pages feels like it'd be right at home in a Kallidora Rho story. 020
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Black Flame is also spectacular and short, if you want to just start with a taste! 110
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 01/09/2026True, but it was popular. Not that that makes it less influential, just in a different way than I’m trying to get at. I feel like Manhunt is The Clash to TMIW’s Velvet Underground. Also, selfishly, it’s my least favorite GFM. I’m a Cuckoo girlie, lol. 120
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Tell Me I’m Worthless was life changing. I genuinely think it might be a secret ur text of modern trans horror. Not everyone read it, but everyone who did wrote a book. 110
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 01/09/2026At this point, I wouldn’t even be surprised if my insurance said they were going to stop covering antibiotics if you’re trans. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Two posts in a row? Do you not know it is important to take turns in a conversation? Though, I do not know what else I would expect from someone with writing skills so underdeveloped that he would say “about whom I said is textbook.” 030
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 23/08/2026“What if Bring It On were gay and trans?? So silly! I won’t even give it a title!” 040
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Honestly, I’m glad I’m hearing about it like this instead of when the email eventually makes it to me… 000
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 21/08/2026It’s so gooooooooooood I’m so excited to see everyone’s reactions coming innn 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 15/08/2026My showing last night was probably 50% dolls, 30% MISC Doing Gender, 19% cis lesbians, and a single cis straight guy explaining Schoenbrun to his gf and totally missing the point entirely. It was perfect. 120
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 14/08/2026It’s wild that Jane Schoenbrun keeps making movies for me specifically, and coincidentally a bunch of other cool people like them too 100
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It's, like, a very specific thing, and depends a lot on texture preferences, but I tried the bamboo rib ones from tomboyx on a whim and was really surprised by how much I like them. Still figuring out how long a pair lasts to get a sense of cost/wear, but promising so far.tomboyx.combamboo ribA new core essential built to wear in or out. Smooth, soft rib fabric supports like underwear and layers with ease. Your upgraded, versatile go-to. 010
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It'll probably feel like forever, but you'll be out sooner than you think. You can do this. 020
Adelaide James @ivebeenaddielight.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The only stupid way to make a mistake is to double down on it, and that's not what I'm seeing. Everything I've seen these last couple days says you're already doing the right things. We all make bad calls sometimes, and the work to take care of yourself now matters more than Past Sherry's misstep. 220
