From Gay Shame to Queer Cringecore π¬
A very short history of queer emotions.
What do you do with shame when it doesnβt go away? Sometimes itβs not just a private feeling, itβs historical weather. Queer shame specifically can be both damage and a strange kind of social knowledge. The essayβs here. #LGBTQ #Queer #WritingCommunity

Koenig #2: Orphan
A life begins, accidental and lucky.
Serializing a historical novel set in 19C Moscowβs German colony. I canβt stop thinking about how body-sized everything feels in that world: time, distance, work, relations. Writing it felt therapeutic - so I wonder if itβs a projection. Do others feel this when reading/writing historical fiction?
