I used to more until I realized how even my brain slowed down is too fast for my hands to catch up. But I still try to get some good ink/paper time every week because while keyboard clicks are music to my ears, ink on paper beats all...
I'm just pleased because I have Wolf Worm on my TBR-recently-picked-up from-the-library shelf and the more I follow this thread the more it worms (ugh, intentional I fear) its way up the list.
Can confirm: as adolescent, I was a huge Shakespeare nerd, one I learned how to die on stage, the need popped into my head like I now need to doodle everywhere...
Just finished You Weren't Meant to Be Human 🪱🪰
The way I get excited when you post a new video...
As wars rage on, and our rights grow ever wobbly... reading fiction helps, a little.
You Weren't Meant to Be Human, by
@ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social
(trans,
#Autistic, Midwestern, #bodyhorror: I was sat 🪰🪱).
The Rose Field, by Philip Pullman (too much info, not enough time type finale, oh well).
Felt particularly dyke-y today, guess it must be #PrideMonth
Kicked the month off by reading @jackhalberstam.bsky.social's The Art of Queer Failure and listening to TJ Klune's Somewhere Beyond The Sea.

Two viruses and many migraines later, catching up on my spring reads pt. 1
Neuroqueer Heresies, by @dr-nicky.bsky.social. A delight. Read it.
What Feasts at Night, by @tkingfisher.com. Yay, more #gothicqueerhorror!
#neuroqueer #actuallyautistic
My first reads of February:
What Moves the Dead, by T. Kingfisher (#queer House of Usher retelling yes please).
Out There Screaming, ed. Jordan Peele (#blackhorror short stories and favorite fiction read so far).
Anyone else sleep better when you read #horror before bed? Just me?
Rounded out January with Black #speculativefiction and #queertheory.
Babel-17, Samuel R. Delaney
(Imagery, queer themes, language as perception.)
Queer Phenomenology, Sara Ahmed
(Yet another reason why I love her work.)
These books = soothing the heart and brain in these heinous times.
