(Putting this up all as one thread instead of 3 posts so if you saw this previously…no you didn’t, shut up) I just finished #AGentlemansGentleman (aka #TheEarlMeetsHisMatch) by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social and anticipate that a full review will be on my blog by Monday at the latest.

“So much of his careful tiptoeing through life had been for nothing” when I catch you @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social 😡😭 (Also I foresee this review being ready by the end of the long weekend so blog post imminent…)

Just listening to The Earl Meets His Match by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social and got choked up at the scene of Christopher at his tailor. Is there anything lovelier than trans joy? Trans safety? Trans peace? No, no there is not.

Just stayed up to finish Vesuvius and I would like a word with @cassbeewrites.bsky.social - as would my gf who is currently gently patting me and going “oh Lauryn oh no” as I cry. Preorder this book. It’s incredible. Review coming this week on my blog.

I’m 25% of the way through this and ohhhhh boy. Also very gender affirming to read a book with a MMC with my name (even if it’s with a different spelling)

I can confirm that there is a healthy dose of [redacted] that made it from the notes into the final product

You guys do NOT want to miss this. I have a blog post going up about it later today. How good was it? Ask my 98 kindle annotations, many of which just say “AHHHH”

"I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language." By Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Joe Sacco www.theguardian.com/world/pictur...

Comic strip-style dialogue between Spiegelman and Sacco; one panel:
I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language.
