define "perfect ending"
A still frame from 2001 movie "Donnie Darko." It's a shot of Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays Donnie, laughing somewhat hysterically. He's in his bed, with a soft blue shirt on.

I'm so bad at remembering pictures can be taken, so here is WorldCon as apparently summed up by my photo reel: @othersidespec.bsky.social stickers and hockey
The freebie booth at Seattle WorldCon. Below Clarkesworld cards, there are cards for Otherside Spec, a new magazine of speculative fiction, poetry and art by queer creators. An office for the Seattle Kraken hockey team, which has a large blue banner with a stylized S on it.

We've had some real up and down weather lately but the plants are somehow thriving!
A wooden raised garden bed sitting in the grass. Inside the bed there are 4 green tomato plants with green trellises, a zucchini plant, a squash plant with a trellis, and a large row of carrots.

I'm liking this so far but also I can't stop thinking "it's my hole!!! It was made for me!!!"
Book cover for Feast While You Can by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta. The text is a purple, pink and yellow gradient, and there is a woman's reclined face with a monstrous hand to the side of it.

and if I cried reading metal in heaven???? then what?
A page from Metal in Heaven. The text reads "Forgive me that another place could so quickly become my home. Forgive me for loving twice. I'll do it again. I'll fall in love again. It doesn't diminish you. It was for you, in its way. We fell in love together, the shard of you in my brain and me."

I'll say much more about it in my newsletter at the end of the month but "Let the Record Show" is my first 5 star read of the year

It's a history of AIDS activism in the 80s/90s. If you're queer and/or an activist, it reads as a playbook for collective direct action.

CRUCIAL at a time like this
A book propped up against a grey couch. It's a large, hardcover red book. It has a black and white photograph of AIDS activists. The title is Let The Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993, by Sarah Schulman.
