One of the best things about working in a space with a press from the 1800’s is sometimes I get to just…make signage with a press from the 1800’s.

A close up of hand quilted squares, irregular and of three different colors (red white and blue) in a mass array of shades. This detail shot shows how across a field of white, the hand quilting is a stair step effect,

A close up of a corner detail showing a tie element out of the edge of an old sheet.

A detail shot of a letter I in a close up of red, white and blue squares, each of the squares is of a different material including text, patterns and denim

Details:

On a table, a red white and blue quilt tapestry that reads “fuck ice”

Quilt as flag

made of recycled fabric

The consistent psychic damage of working for people who neither like or respect you.

“I really appreciate schlockvalue’s opinion on queer media and I have no idea where I met them - or if I met them” is kind of my vibe

Come to my house at 6 pm tonight for making stuff party - where we make buttons and junk journaling kits for my show tomorrow and where I pay you in pizza and we watch idk, cold case files or physical 100 or something.

Realizing I recognize that skirt

It’s time for #LetterboxdFriday and #LastFourWatched

I’m just in it for the love of the game.

Just remembering the time I watched so many movies in a year that a journalist reached out to ask me about my feelings about some film festival and I had to tell her that I had never attended a film festival.

Book 6

The House of my Mother: A Daughters Quest for Freedom

Shari Franke, the eldest daughter of the now defunct 8 Passengers YouTube channel, talks about the years of abuse she experienced growing up with a narcissistic mommy blogger as a parent. Audiobook.

She has one! She just is only interested in me holding her.

I moved a full recliner into the workshop, she still won’t sit on it and just wants me to hold her.

In a beige hallway, a cat sits on a set of concrete grey stairs.

My cat has strong, negative opinions about my workshop. Likely because I am unwilling to only hold her and I have evicted her when she tried to eat thread (the thread is no longer accessible).

lol I realize now that you meant The Terror whoops.

Re: heated rivalry - I have not read the books or watched the show. Everything I know is through cultural osmosis but every fandom person I know seems to be into it, so it’s a lot of secondhand exposure.

Actual answer to your question: if what they wanted out of the series was sports (for some reason) Together With Me. It's about college sports stars who need to figure out if they want to risk their lifelong friendship by dating It was my entry into Thai BL, has a pairing that has excellent chemistry. If they can't do subtitles, unfortunately the west is pretty bad at gay shit. The only real options are heartstopper - which I don't like reccing because the original author said some weird stuff about East Asian bl - and Red, White and Royal Blue

I really love recommending stuff (shout out @unwinnable.com Exploits) so I understand this is a me specific thing.

Here’s my suggestions to a friend of a friend for Heated Rivalry - disclosure that I have not yet seen the gay hockey show.

Like. Do you want the other person to get into queer media? Cause this isn’t how you do it.

All the people on social going “they said they liked Heated Rivalry so I recommended Interview With a Vampire.”

Do you want this person, looking for a rec, to actually enjoy the experience?

Zoomed in crop of a TikTok of a femme presenting person with text that says “when I convince my friends to watch the Terror because I tell them it’s like heated rivalry but British sailors and I lowkey forget to tell them it’s actually a paranormal survivalist horror and no one lives”

Not a critique of this specific user, but this is a massive pet peeve of mine.

LETS GOOOOO

Honestly some of these are straight fire and I'll probably buy some extras for the rest of the year.

Also if we get a bunch more subs I can hire a bunch more writers.

Some people who have seen my workshop in person believe that there is something unsettling about the space. But it’s just where a pipe organ used to be. In a sub basement. With 12 foot pink orange walls.

For better or worse, because my workshop is underground, it is always about 60 degrees.

Not even touching the death eater stuff, but marauders community is wild to me and just like, its scale? I remember seeing some of them on like, top AO3 stats and thinking “wat”

HP ends with the main character becoming a cop and marrying his high school girlfriend. Liberalism is not the vibe I get from the text, lol.

So much stuff!

Someone asked me for recommendations for more stuff like heated rivalry (which I haven’t seen) and it’s like oh man there’s a whole world if you’ll read subtitles.

If not…uh? Red White and Royal Blue?
