I need to read Fritz Eichenberg’s pre-1940 correspondence related to his illustrations of Gulliver’s Travels. Yale has his papers but the correspondence is later. Columbia holds Eichenberg’s publisher’s papers but not the period I need. Turns out what I’m looking for is at the Harry Ransom Center.

An illustration of Gulliver’s Travels by Fritz Eichenberg. It depicts Gulliver bound by the Lilliputians, some of whom are standing on top of him.

We’ve had a great few days. Lucius on Thursday and Nina West on Saturday. Both were amazing, moving performances.

I’m starting to think that #OnlyFriendsDreamOn is an acting showcase for #Mixx and I’m here for it! I’m glad he’s finally getting the chance to show the full range of his talent like this! #ThaiBL #BLSeries

2025 in review: favorite BL series I had two favs this year: Khemjira and Shine. I like it when shows move the genre into new territory. Khemjira takes #ThaiBL folklore & horror to a new level. And Shine moves us squarely into M/M drama and ups the politics of #NotMe Both are great! #BLSeries

I bet when the Yakuza threaten Peach, we’re going to see scary Thee real quick!

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

I was pleased that Thee didn’t immediately throw money at the orphanage though I hope he secretly starts supporting it and that he and Peach adopt the boy who’s sister has already been adopted! I love that we’re seeing his growth as a character.

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Of course I’m going to keep watching, but I have to admit it’s not good so far. The flirtatiousness is cringe, and what I think is supposed to be comedy is questionable at best. Maybe it will get better?

Perhaps my favorite #ThaiBL moment of all time is Tian’s mother asking her husband in the airport who that man hugging their son is and him telling not to worry about it! #Taleofa1000Stars

One of the marvelous things about rewatching #UntilWeMeetAgain is that #StudioWabiSabi isn’t afraid to let its actors sweat. All through Ep 12 Ohm is sweating like he actually lives in Thailand!

Still from Until We Meet Agin in which Dean is looking at Pharm. A droplet of sweat is just visible on his temple.

One of my favorite #ThaiBL moments of all time is Plan’s character messing with Dean by having Pharm feed him a dessert in Ep 6 of #UntilWeMeetAgain

I’m rewatching #Taleofa1000Stars. I had forgotten how flirty Phupha and Tian are in episode 3! So sweet. ❤️ #ThaiBL #BLSeries #EarthMix

Phupha is spending the night with Tian. The two men lie in bed together talking, getting to know each other. Each knows the other is flirting.

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I’m rewatching #UntilWeMeetAgain and am on ep 3. I feel we’re all Pharm when “P’Dean” suddenly says he’s single. It’s crazy how well the car scene works narratively. #ThaiBL #BLSeries

I won’t spoil it either, but this episode wrecked me!

I've been hesitant to say I'm writing a book (anxiety, don't want to jinx anything, not sure, etc.). But I've made an important decision. No more hedging. I'm writing a book! I can finally see its shape & contours. Now to get it done! #MSbooks #LateStuartEngland #BookHistory #QueerBibliography

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

I’m behind on Shine and finally watched ep 5 tonight. When people started calling it a masterpiece after ep 1, I rolled my eyes. I take it back. This is an f-ing masterpiece! Cinematography. Acting. Script. Politics. Versatility. Love triangle. No #ThaiBL cliches. Just art. Amazing. #BLSeries

Dorothy L. Sayers’ “Have His Carcase” has this lovely description of Peter’s age: “the halcyon period between the self-tormenting exuberance of youth and the fretful carpe diem of approaching senility.” Like Peter, I intend to “extract an Epicurean enjoyment” from this phase of life.

My favorite thing about the opening scene of #LoveintheAir is the tiny little barrier the guards have up to prevent trucks from entering the illegal race. My cat could knock it over! 😂😂😂 #ThaiBL #BLSeries #BossNoeul #FortPeat

A couple of weeks ago I felt the urge to reread “Nemesis” by #AgathaChristie. Then I reread “Unnatural Death” by #DorothyLSayers. Then I reread Christie’s “At Bertram’s Hotel.” Next up: “Have His Carcass.” I’m relishing the contrasts in styles and strengths! #books

I’ve been trying to get into Reset but didn’t find the first few eps compelling, but ep 4 has me hooked! Romance. Intrigue. Hissy fits. Complicated pasts. It’s got it all. And #PanPond are great! #ThaiBL #ResettheSeries

Ep. 6 of KinnPorsche may be my favorite single ep of any Thai BL. Getting away from all the chaos, we see them truly get to know one another. This is where they start to fall in love. The cinematography and music are truly chef’s kiss. It’s a beautiful episode.

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

#TheNextPrince has promise but I’m finding it just a little too slow. So, I’m back watching my favorite show: #KinnPorsche. (Maybe I’ll follow it with my other fav: #MoonlightChicken. ❤️)

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I want to start #Reset, and I’m liking #BoysinLove as a light, fluffy show. #SweetToothGoodDentist was just that: sweet. I thought #OssansLoveTH showed Earth’s acting range and talent. I’m watching #MyStubborn, but it gets more problematic every week. 2/

Jem Webster @jemwebster.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I’m nearly halfway through rewatching #KinnPorsche again. Clearly it’s my favorite #ThaiBL. But it’s also that we’re clearly not in a great Thai BL moment right now. #Gelboys and #ThamePo were great, but I’m not really feeling any of the current shows. 1/

This was the best #FrenchOpen since 2013, when both Serena and Rafa won. I’m so happy for Coco and @carlosalcaraz.bsky.social

My time in the UK was productive: 32 #manuscript miscellanies, commonplace books, & unbound collections at the #BritishLibrary, the V&A, the U of Nottingham, the U of Leeds, & #HolkhamHall. I hope to be back in a year to see 2 I couldn’t see and 2 I want to spend more time with.
