Body-shaming is bad, of course, and completely beside the point, but my fellow Ohioans, these guys are giving "Larry Householder," right?

Needed to burn off pancake calories from breakfast, so biked into the office for the afternoon shift.

(I do not work at iHeart; they're just the anchor tenant.)

Where do I report an attempted murder? Exhibit A: this text from my baby sister.

When this showed up near my neighborhood this year, I first thought, "You're not fooling me, fairies." Pretty soon, I began walking through it deliberately.

#ShowMeYourKnits scarf week.

Finished just last week: Pierre Skinny Scarf by Stephen West.

The annual shawl mystery knitalong isn't for me, but I dig when he designs simple pieces showcasing texture.

Day 13: Queer YA Recommendation 🌈📚
This is more middle grade than YA, but I think that's a higher degree of difficulty.

Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle

Nate Foster is my hero. And the scene where he stands outside the gay club is breathtakingly well-written.

Day 5: Queer Horror 🌈📚🩸
I had to consult lists for this one, and some of the books on the lists I know I read but didn't remember queer content.

THE DEAD TAKE THE A TRAIN by Cassandra Khaw & @richardkadrey.bsky.social

This is a book not on those lists, but I liked it.

Day 4: Queer Romance You Loved 🌈📚

Not previously much of a queer romance reader, but this is the year I've binged all of @kjcharleswriter.com. It's hard to pick just one, but JACKDAW stands out. I legitimately couldn't see a way for that story to end happily.

Day 3: A Book That Made Me Feel Seen 🌈📚
DADDY'S ROOMMATE by Michael Willhoite

In particular this illustration of Daddy and Roommate snuggling on the couch sharing a bowl of popcorn. (Story in alt text).

Which book made you feel seen?

What was your first X-Men issue?

Picked up at Brinings News in Mount Vernon on my way to after-school guitar lessons.

I love your short/sport socks so much, you sent me on a shopping spree.

I wanted to try Jeny's Square Peg Heel, so made a quick pair of shorty socks out of a gradient set to emphasize the sections. #menwhoknit

My purple entry for #showmeyourknits: Round One of #sockmadness. The busy mods overlooked my mistake on sole, and once it was discovered, they didn't make me correct it.
