Oh, do you?

What do I want for my 30th birthday? Just a cold email from every creative I admire praising my worth, skill, and virtue??

the gay urge to simply lie down on a chaise longue and turn into moss

I think we need to be prepared to fight in the streets. If we see this happening, yell like there's a baby trapped in a burning building.

They're operating like the SS, so we have to get loud. We're socialized not to make a scene, not to argue.

We need to recall how to scream.

(This is a positive statement)

Not so much "reading" Hymn to Dionysus by @natashapulley.bsky.social as I am adjusting to life now that my heart has been ripped out and stomped on and replaced and my whole chest feels like a bruise. 🙏🙏🙏

Have you seen Late Night with the Devil? I heard they used AI in it to make THE TITLE CARDS. Just make a canva account guys...

please i want to read this!!

I only just saw that TJ Klune published a new book last year and low key almost started crying just looking at the cover. I'M READY

LOL Asra looks like they're smiling through the pain

nothing is more disappointing than the RSC Hamlet with naval vibes and advertisements featuring a CLUMP OF ENTANGLED MEN finishing the week before I get to the UK. my inability to witness this clump in person is literally a grave insult to me and my research :(

I really feel we don't sufficiently account for how many people in the past were absolutely shitfaced, all the time.

I sobbed watching Nimona (I'd read the comic a LONG time ago, but probably would cry reading it now) because I was literally struck down with the mighty desire to be a sad off duty knight.

Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞

There is but one answer

I don’t really know how I want to interact with this platform yet or if I will much. However as a placeholder here is me with my first book published 2022. It is very good. My second is coming out in July this year and I guess I will post about it here.

Just a casual night roasting my nemesis (Ben Johnson) with the queen of queer historical spec fic herself @natashapulley.bsky.social?? I'm living the dream.

I LOOOOVED this!!!

3 years until Noel Coward's "Design for Living" is in public domain. 3 years to acquire the skills, fame, and thespian renown to spearhead the production of my dreams. this is the representation chaotic bisexual artists DESERVE.

Thank you!!
