Seeing others talking about introducing younger queers to Tales of the City let me go on a deep dive to see where the origins of Michael's Coming Out letter originated from since I hadn't been sure if it was part of the serialization or not.

Also somebody sent me a new mug - which is good what with all the cocoa drinking this weekend and a hot beverage being one of the few things to soothe me through the turmoil my country faces on an hourly basis (not even a daily at this point)

It's the first comment on a Power Rangers recap vid sort of evening! Also a great session with my ttrpg Power Rangers Spirit team as they begin to learn that the true horrors aren't always in monster form. Some come from what cannot yet be known, even by the gods themselves.

Well now I've really gotta make this #horror #ttrpg #foundfootage inspired game happen. There's a video out and everything! I do love #hellhousellc though so I hope once people get to play that they'll love this new era of story for the hotel as well.

The more I see of the Scott/Kip plotline from Heated Rivalry, the more it gets to me. It reminds me of a less stylized coming out scene from Jude/Zero but I think has an even wider audience. This is the nice part of the timeline to live in.

A candle lit, a requiem tonight for one of the most sensational gay male artists named Michael Breyette
Thank you for the joy, the scintillation, and the joy you brought in a variety of queer scenarios from the deeply erotic to the mystically joyful.
