*{hugs for you too}*

Thanks for that--it was a great read. I particularly enjoyed the bit about the shibboleths in the book taglines, when you couldn't say gay or lesbian on the cover.

This is a great time of year for a re-read, now that you mention it...I bleeve I will!

Life goals meaning being Jonathan and Mrs Zimmerman, not reading the book. Or wait, also reading the book! :D

Yesssssss. I read that book So. Many. Times. (And have a copy on my shelf as we speak!) Life goals, really.

Hugs if you'd like some... {{{you}}}

I am going to imagine this happening to me next time I hit a big stress point at work. 🎶💨

I had somehow never seen this before, and it is making me laugh and laugh. Thank you!

Yeah, he makes it about him, and his inability to risk/accept losing another daughter. Which, I sympathize! But it is NOT ABOUT YOU JOEL

I still think about what you said in November 2020 about why doomscrolling is harmful: "I have come to the conclusion that as human beings, we are just not meant to poach in other people's anxiety all the time." www.npr.org/2020/11/18/9...

Yay, you are a hero of queer and fannish history!

You are an archivist's dream! ❤️

Big hugs.
