I should add actually (as I just mentioned in the Discord) that it's plenty hot outside but actually I just checked the bedroom and the office and it's... NOT that bad? Like, it's warm but not killing, and part of that (I suspect) is the big old trees in this neighbourhood THANK U BIG OLD TREES

Wasn't really sure what to expect heading into reading Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social, but what I got was a tremendously written tale of psychological terror, body horror, corporate greed, and queer erasure.

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

I'm gutted about these shutdowns too, so I promise I'm not being facetious, but: In 2018 when I presented my M.A. project (wherein I recovered an 80s computer game) my thesis was (&still is): the only reason I could build the thing at all was that someone once printed out a piece of its code.

Sad to miss #StokerCon! The pictures gave me major FOMO, but I was in beautiful Argentina so it's all good. Next year, hopefully!

I didn't win the Bram Stoker Award, but that bit doesn't sadden me - the nom was such a huge honor from my horror peers.

THANK YOU HWA!!!

Most NYers have no idea that libraries in the city have no more Sunday service and that libraries will close for another day if the current budget goes through. A 60 million cut to libraries while Adams proses a 200 million police "training" campus. Please connect the dots and REFUSE this bullshit.

gotta be a german word for remembering how good the wild woods blackberries you grew up with were with a proustian clarity that actually stops you in the middle of the sidewalk, buying some driscolls from the store in desperation, and being unsurprisingly disappointed

The origins of the hanky code are lost in the mists of gay unwritten history, but I choose to believe it existed this long ago and that Melville is explicitly referencing it.

Yes! And! I also think Moby Dick is fully a supernatural creature (is said to be able to be in multiple places at once, and to respawn elsewhere if killed), and possibly the first kaiju. And also it's so delightfully gay.

I fucking love it so much. The gay stuff is so abundant and so satisfying. There's lots I don't love, and some I usually skip, but fuuuuuuuuck this book is doing the most and some of that is transcendent
