BlueSky is a challenge for longer thoughts and book reviews.
I’m trying Substack, though I’m not sure how to really build a following there. It’s a free blog, not monetising it so give me a follow!

I Want That Twink Obliterated!, edited by Trip Galey, Robert Berg & C.L. McCartney
This anthology is wild, fun, & beautiful. Some stories are high camp, sexy & hilarious. Others beautifully thoughtful stories of queer families pushed to the limit, with and without reconciliation... 1/2
