Consider me "glee and no shame"

I need other people to watch The 5 Star Weekend because I know it looks like boring middle aged people problems on the beach but it’s hilarious and has great music and is unexpectedly queer and is dealing with grief really well?

Lestat spoke to Regina telepathically to remind himself that she wasnt Claudia. Lestat never read her diaries, wasnt privy to Claudia’s thoughts the way Louis was. So instead he memorized her through all the things he could see: her walk, her heart, her eyes.

it’s interesting how upset some people have gotten over negative things like homophobia and fatphobia being present in my writing. unfortunately I’ve had a life where those have been huge, shaping factors, and I like to talk about it. I was deeply anorexic for a number of years, and have had friendships and familial relationships deteriorate because of my queerness. being able to say “hey, this exists and it really, really sucks, now watch the fatphobic person get punched by a dragon” is kinda just what works for me, personally. I have a lot of feelings with nowhere else to put them, so my writing is always going to cater to my own catharsis.

Alan Turing and Ada of Lovelace did not invent computer science for the girls and the gays to claim they can't do math
