How acceptable is it to give someone nearly 13,000 words of feedback on their novel (asking before I am served divorce papers)

Getting bored & trying to get into podcasts again. Can’t focus well so doing less intensive topics. Today’s takeaways -

- loneliness tends to hit us most during large life transitions
- quality of friends over quantity
- we need different people to meet different needs, no can be everything

Had so much fun at the Queer Spectra Arts Festival this past weekend! It was really exciting (and nerve wracking lol) to have a piece on display again. Thanks to anyone who came out to read my essay on a ghost named Bill ❤️
A gallery placard on a brown table. It is white paper with a black border. It reads: 5 Lessons on Queerness from the Ghost in the Half Bathroom. Sally Goodger Paper Content warnings: references to homophobia, death from HIV/AIDS complications during the 1980s A white hand with green nails holds down a small zine that says: Queer Spectra Arts Festival 2025. Flux & Fracture. Above the zine is a sticker that says Queer Spectra Arts Festival and a button that says Queer Spectra Artist.

She did, indeed, finish the letter
An email from Sally to Emily Juchau that reads Another whack letter from me! This one is a little long so I can trim if needed (sorry it took me three months to get back to you, but at least it was only three this time?) Love you! SG

Going to finish this Letter to Hozier if it kills me

(Ed is also experiencing artistic struggles, as you can clearly see)

My ugly washcloth babies !!

I’m struggling with crochet because tensioning the yarn is really hard on my hypermobile hands. But! I’m slowing learning to keep it consistent, and I have these to wash my face with

Staking flags with Project Rainbow Utah for Trans Day of Visibility ❤️

We had more households sign up to host trans flags than ever before, which is so fucking rad in the face of the transphobic vitriol coming out of all levels government, particularly the Utah ban on pride flags in schools

Did a pottery painting class with the girlies tonight and I’m pretty happy with how this turned out 🍊🧡 (a little wonky, but a win is a win). Fingers crossed it fires up nice!

One-third of the way through the world’s largest cross-stitch sampler !! 😤

I’m loving how it’s turning out and enjoying the complicated design/repeating colors, though it is destroying my hands RIP
