Obligatory, and with apologies: if you have any LGBTs in your life who like recreationally exacerbating their anxiety disorder, they may enjoy this book as a weird gift for the holidays ❤️ bookshop.org/p/books/thes...

the bartender just came over and put my shirley temple and my boyfriend’s ipa in the dead center of the table because he “didn’t want to assume whose was whose”

there is a book that is beloved weirdly by both normal people and my weird gay social media mutuals* that i thought was FINE and every time i see a post about it, i am kind of ???

there is nothing that makes me dread a work event more than being told there will be “breakout sessions”

I wonder if it is possible for me to make dinner and leave my house at 6:30 for extra dance time before class… (no) (i am dancing friday and saturday probably so i shouldn’t anyway)

I think that I have been so conditioned by that other site to be cynical that I am incapable of being sincere and benevolent enough for this site

it’s kind of a relief to know that they didn’t really smoke all those cigarettes on mad men but then you read about how the herbal ones they used instead tasted like “pot and soap” (jon hamm), it feels like maybe original is almost better

I love when my boyfriend calls to me from the kitchen “is this done” about a food that he is cooking and I cannot see from here

Hi, If you're the person who was just in with the Metal Gear Solid sweatshirt, April wanted to let you know that Code Name Verity is the perfect book for Metal Gear Solid fans. OK, thanks. www.portersquarebooks.com/book/9780316...

I have been struggling to find motivation to read, but the book that made perhaps the biggest difference in making me want to sit and read is @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social ‘s CHEF’S KISS. it’s funny and charming and I love it!!

I will talk about it much more in the 2.5 months before it comes out, but THE PROSPECTS by KT Hoffman is an upcoming queer/trans romance novel (out April 9) and it is excellent—sexy while also sweet and filled with heart and trans joy and also baseball (if you're into that)
