I’m very excited to announce that @evernightpub.bsky.social is planning to publish my gay Jewish WWI romance novel!

Anyway, free fic idea for anyone who wants to write the world’s most depressing Hollanov AU

I had never heard of these two gentlemen before but it’s remarkable how much the artwork looks like Hollanov fanart (or maybe it’s just that everything looks like Hollanov to me)

I went to check out ours and I cannot deny my interest in controlling insects… also I feel subtly judged by the note on “gradually expanded LEGO collection”

It’s like the six-year-old version of “do not create the torment nexus”

My kid has watched “Jumanji” about twelve times and begged for the board game Jumanji as a birthday present, which we got for her, even though I feel like the whole point of the movie is that you should not play this board game

I remember seeing a joke about Heated Rivalry where they said the hockey scenes were fade to black, not the sex scenes. the audience wants sexy men who yearn for each other due to circumstances that make it challenging for them to be together

This is like a fucking SNL skit where studios keep making hockey shows instead of gay shows

This current stack of books next to my bed feels like a pretty good summary of what it’s like to be inside my brain

Picture of a stack of books that include “Heated Rivalry,” “Charity & Sylvia” (the graphic novel), “No Ordinary Men: The Battle of Kohima Reassessed,” “Defeat into Victory: Battling Japan in Burma and India, 1942-1945,” and “The OSS in Burma”

Is there a single show on here that’s not from the U.S. or UK? Kind of wild that they don’t even caveat it as the “best English-language TV shows” - like, the rest of the world makes TV shows too, some of them outstanding

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

The Canadians are beating us in the yaoi TV arms race, we need to close the gap

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

And cast Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, preferably

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I support this only if they make it yaoi

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

like many antisemitic conspiracy theories, this actually makes us sound pretty awesome

So the video is just the narrator intoning “the scenes of sexual violence were so grotesque that the film still cannot legally be screened in Britain” over, like, a scene of people in cocktail dresses milling around a garden

My husband is watching a YouTube video about the most shockingly taboo movies ever made but it’s YouTube so they can’t actually show anything shockingly taboo

And am I the only person who was bothered that they’re going to have to re-kasher that kitchen, or at least I assume having vampire body parts and human blood all over your kosher butcher shop makes it not kosher anymore

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I finally finished watching The Vampire Lestat and kind of… did not love it? Lestat and Louis and Armand are all amazing and perfectly cast but I wish there had been like 90% less incest and a lot more Louis and Armand

I just saw the phrase “vintage 2000s” used to describe an outfit and immediately crumbled into dust

I finally started reading Billy Budd and am pleased to find that it is in fact extremely gay from literally the opening paragraph onwards

I appreciate that the New Yorker keeps publishing thoughtful, admiring pieces about Heated Rivalry even though Ilya said they were boring

I thought this was a Heated Rivalry meme at first

Yeah, I’ve been struggling with “this is not Heated Rivalry and I would rather be watching Heated Rivalry” syndrome when I watch other shows now

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I regret to inform you that the “A Noun of Nouns and Nouns” titling trend has breached containment and reached the WWII popular history books

Cover of a “Game of Birds and Wolves: The Ingenious Young Women Whose Secret Board Game Helped Win World War II” by Simon Parkin, which is actually a fascinating book even though I am gently making fun of its title

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

It just seems so bleak from what I’ve seen of it so far. Pretty much the opposite of what I’m looking for when I’m re-watching Heated Rivalry for the nth time.

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

At this rate I’m going to end up watching all of Pillion in five-minute chunks over a period of like three years

010

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Also HBO Max is DETERMINED to have me watch Pillion after Heated Rivalry - every time I re-watch Heated Rivalry it jumps straight from Shane and Ilya driving down the road into wherever I most recently noped out of Pillion

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

But yes! Generally a terrible idea to do that, would not want my kid to do it

Masha Hayim @mashahayim.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I was going to ask… was this to get on the same orders? Because I also got engaged after four months and married at six months of dating so that my husband could get on my PCS orders (he’s a civilian) and we’re still happily married 17 years later

Episode 5 of Heated Rivalry is the best single episode of television ever made and I will die on this hill
