Could You Reblog This If You Enjoy Seeing Your Writer Friends Ramble About Their Wips On Your Dash?

Hey, take it from someone creeping towards 40:

Ignore the fun police.

If you like it, order your steak well done. Get your bagel toasted with jam and butter. Put ice in your scotch and ketchup on your hotdog. Get red wine with fish and white with steak. Who cares?

If you want to, listen to pop music. Watch blockbuster popcorn flicks. Read dime store novels. Enjoy them.

Dye your hair or cut it off. Paint your fingernails blue. Wear whatever the fuck you want on your own time (ie, when not at a job or school or whatever where you can get penalized for breaking rules) as long as you aren’t like welding or shoveling snow.

Anyone who tries to tell you you’re wrong? Say “okay” and go back to what you were doing. You’re not hurting them by enjoying yourself or having things the way you like them.

There are no caveats or addendums to this. No “but what about x?” Nah. You’re allowed the things you like. You don’t have to justify your taste or apologize for it if it’s not hurting anyone.

And likewise, let other people live their lives. We’re all dead in the long run, so tend your own garden before you become fertilizer in it.

The things I would let Nine-Fingers Keene do to me...

Sappho, If Not Winter: Fragments of Sappho (tr. by Anne Carson)

making this on my phone with very little sleep or consideration, but i think the point stands

LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

Jaheira’s stretch marks... you agree

✿Queer stuff I have read✿

(list under the cut)

I've had the wlw list sat in google docs for years so figured I may as well post it somewhere in case other people want reading recs!! They're in order from best to worst (or alternatively Iconic to Villian Origin story, obviously just based on my own opinion o7). I'll probably update it in the future 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘

For the titles themselves you have:

✿title-(18+ if there's mature content)-(author/artist name)-flag to show the language it was originally written in✿

♡ is for my favourite ones :)
