The “Unhinged Bisexual Woman” Novel - Lux Magazine In "Big Swiss" and its ilk, everything is a joke, love is for suckers, and gay liberation is a bore.

'Through their logic, voice, and depictions of intimacy and desire, the novels suggest that the main character is at best ambivalent about women’s bodies and at worst repulsed by it.' lux-magazine.com/article/unhi...

Gonna scrape some frost off the windowsill and make a single gross grey snowball just to Feel Something

First winter snow today but I'm SICK and stuck inside 😭😭😭 at least I have an excuse to hang out and read but like, I wanted to frolic

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.

Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

I'm only about 70 pages in so far but I feel the same! The writing style and descriptions are so satisfying, it's taking ages to get through because I'm reading all my favorite sentences multiple times. Definitely recommend!

"you okay?" No. I realized I'm far more productive writing without music but I prefer listening to music while I write

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

Hot take: Pigeons are majestic. Who agrees with me??

Making art is the closest thing I can think of to magical wish fulfillment. Because what do you mean I can just PAINT my childhood fantasies into reality?
