Canada Geese Are Weird.  On The One Hand, They’ll Stand Up To Huge, Scary Animals.  On The Other

Squee!  I love Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate series, and I’m looking forward to her new M/M romances in a modern setting.  I made the mistake of reading the prequel short story before I realized that The Sumage Solution hadn’t been released yet. 

Goodreads giveaway for The Sumage Solution is going on right now! http://ow.ly/vRTR30clgzz . #gailcarriger #bookstagram #instabook #booknerd #bookworm #books #booklove #booklife #bookcovers #giveaway #widn #mlm #romance

As I librarian, I love the idea of the queer community being more like a library than an exclusive club.  Huge thanks to FYA for choosing libraries as examples of open, welcoming, inclusive places!

Any aspec feeling down because of the posts telling not to go to pride, I've seen plenty of posts banning enbies, trans people, pans, bis and in one particularly baffling case, lesbians from attending. With literally the only group escaping these posts being cis gay men, I think it's safe to say they're rubbish. Gatekeepers can have their own super exclusive pride in some dark cave with rest of the council of evildoers.

I told my friend today that I think people see the queer community as this exclusive club and you must dress and appear “gay enough” to be allowed in, when I think the queer community should be more akin to a library that can host events. Because the exclusion of any dampers the pride I feel down until I don’t want pride symbols and colors everywhere because I don’t want to think about the heartbreak we do to each other 24/7.

This is a brilliant advertising campaign!

I laughed so hard I woke up the cat.  Now he’s staring at me, trying to decide whether he needs to be concerned about this.

I laughed a lot. (x)

I would probably give a book with an ace main character a try, just because it’s hard to find books with ace characters.  I would keep reading a series or read more by the same author if the book was in a genre/style that I otherwise enjoy and was well written.

Reblog if you would read a book with NO romance arc and a female, asexual main character

Someone said no one would ever read my book because there’s no love triangle. Prove them wrong?

@the-other-sandy, weren’t we just talking about Grapenuts?

Grapenuts

Neither grapes nor nuts.

The closest thing to gravel still considers fit for human consumption.

Possibly a major joke being played on the human race by hamsters.

This is great advice.  Does anyone know if it works for MD-shopping as well?

How do you (“how does one”) shop for a therapist?

Can you call up a therapist and be like “hi, I’m therapist shopping”? Can you schedule an appointment with a therapist and then be like “actually I have some questions and I want to spend part of this appointment talking about your practice and whether or not it is garbage?”? Are you expected to phone interview/screen your therapists if you are shopping around for a therapist?

If you’re seeing one therapist are you supposed to/not supposed to tell them if you start seeing another therapist? Is it possible to cheat on your therapist?

Sometimes, it’s useful to say, “I’m queer,” instead of getting into the full list of all the ways I don’t fit the supposed defaults for gender, sexuality, relationships, etc.

you are allowed to identify as queer. you don’t need to be ashamed of being queer.

This is totally a feature!  We should exploit the coat hangers out of it.  

Does anyone know if it works the same for different flavors of English?  If a group of people from the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia are all absolutely coat hangered, are they all in the same condition, or are some of them drunk, some of them shocked, and some of them just confused?

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger
