“The show seems to go out of its way to say that it’s very masculine to be gay, which is exactly why people like those classical romances, where homosexuality is a natural overflow of masculine energy. It’s a vision of a sort of non-toxic but also non-anxious masculinity – masculinity that doesn’t require women to constantly affirm it.”

Adrian Daub on girls who like boys who like boys.

Apparently all the AO3 girlies are now sufficiently grown-up and have influenced pop culture to the point that The Guardian is doing the whole “did you know girls like to watch dudes fuck???” thing. Which, like. On the one hand, 2006 called and wants its take back. But, also, on the other, the fact that this is in a big mainstream normie news outlet, about a big mainstream TV show definitely says . . . something? I guess? Maybe.

End of the #ttrpg campaign approacheth. I've been running my #quiltbag group through the 5e version of #RappanAthuk If i had to do it again I'd do some things different, but it has really scratched that #Megadungeon itch. It also reinforced that I don't care for high-level #dnd and the sweet spot for me is levels 3-10.

Regardless, they still have to destroy one more temple, fight the avatar of Orcus, then go to hell and beat him there. #GoodLuck

Pritzker announces 'first of its kind' legal hotline for LGBTQ+ Illinoisans - Chicago Sun-Times

Gov. JB Pritzker announced this week that Illinois is launching a “first of its kind” resource guide and hotline to support LGBTQ+ residents.

“For us to be able to go on offense, and not be on defense, is what I love about this state,” Pritzker said in a video posted to social media. “Together we are fighting ignorance with information. We’re fighting cruelty with compassion.”

Remember all those times I've talked about how going after ALL queers is about peeling off one letter at a time? How they're only starting with the T?

Now they're going after the B.

Bisexuals are being erased from history, too.

Lesbians will be next.

And then Gays, well, they're just "homosexuals," disordered and wrong...

...and to be eradicated, like everyone else.

Listen, I know I'm a language nerd, but why the hell we stumble all over ourselves with "LGBTQIA" instead of using

QuILTBAG

is wholly beyond me.

More shelves were put up today in our kitchen-to-be in the #vulpibus. Cable ties, hooks and drilling holes, my beloved go-to method for a quick fix while we are still getting everything sorted out and have no money.

Speaking of which, #mutualaid we are still in need of another $910 ASAP this week to get on top of several issues and be in a better position to handle upcoming bills. Let's make our situation better so we can get more done for everyone @vulpinelabs !

And no we're not some fucking bot accounts trying to cry crocodile tears to scam you out of cash. If you want to trace where your currency went, DM us and we will show you how we spend it.

Finished reading: Brainwyrms

You know you read a thing and you’re like, “Well. Can’t unread that . . .” but also you know exactly the person you’re going to give a rec to? This is that book.

You’re basically going to know if this is the book for you just by reading the blurb and the content warnings, and if they sound like a thing you want to read, you will have a good time. I will say this was more explicit and visceral and fourth-wall-breakingly surreal than I was expecting, and the satire here is not subtle, though nor is it supposed to be. You know JK Rowling when she shows up. Sympathetic characters are also thin on the ground, though the messiness and the cruelty are recognisable and understandable, and you’ve seen them before to some degree or another if you’ve spent any time in queer alt spaces. People also drink piss. It’s that sort of book.

Brainwyrms is not going to be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a messy, visceral, surreal, trans cosmic horror . . . then yes. This.
