2021(???) – Bringing it Back
Take 2. So, it has been a minute since I used this blog. I actually discovered I had a draft from the top of 2020, with this exact same intention of revival. But a lot was happening, and continued happening (and not going to plan) for the remainder of the year. Both in my mental… Continue reading 2021(???) – Bringing it Back

An AI and a mechanic, a guy and his elephant, a woman and her two wives; there's a lot of non-normative families, which admittedly don't always work out for the characters, but I love how they exist in the tales.

When Brooklyn Was Queer // Hugh Ryan
Ryan is here to unearth that history for the first time, and show how the formation of Brooklyn is inextricably linked to the stories of the incredible people who created the Brooklyn we know today. Folks like Ella Wesner and Florence Hines, the most famous drag kings of the late-1800s; E. Trondle, a transgender man… Continue reading When Brooklyn Was Queer // Hugh Ryan
February Book Haul
Lately I've been looking for more bookish blogs to follow and came across @bookish_heights February 2019 Book Haul and since I accumulated a lot last month (despite making a resolution not to buy so many books this year) I figured I'd do something similar. So, first off I had my local Lifeline Bookfest, which ended up being kind… Continue reading February Book Haul
