Creature Of Mad Enthusiasms

But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.

In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.

They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.

At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.

When Life Gives You Corpses is a brilliant YA about a cursed praying mantis who falls for a young witch. Yield Under Great Persuasion is a raunchy, but surprisingly sweet story about two men repairing their relationship. Fabulous Bodies is a horror story about a queer rockstar rising from the dead.

This is Where the Future Bleeds is a fantasy set in a vividly imagined land, where two women (who happen to kiss) are the key to healing the broken sky. You're No Better is a story about a teen struggling in the shadow of his murderous parent. Oil on Canvas is about a woman who finds disturbing paintings in the home of her dead mother.

(Some) Queer Presses:

Lurid Editions are "a publishing project committed to intentional and conscientious acts of archival repair". They are "attentive to how marginalised histories are forgotten and remembered, [and] hungry to rediscover overlooked queer books". They've just received funding from Arts Council England to engage queer readers in a project to contribute to the archive!

Cipher Press "We’re really keen on the idea that queer and minority stories are for everybody, and we want to make our books – and the stories they tell - accessible to all" (what an amazing mission statement!)

Anamot Press "Anamot [Անամոթ] means shameless in Armenian. ⁣⁣Anamot Press publishes poetry and prose on intersecting experiences of gender, sexuality, race, migration, class, belonging and loss - with no shame."

(Some) Queer Bookshops

Queer Lit Oh man, I remember when this was just a tiny little shop, and now they're the biggest LGBT+ bookshop in Europe! They do amazing work in donating books about being trans to schools and parliament! They have a pay-it-forward board that will make you sob with its notes of love and support. (You can tell I wish I still lived nearby)

Lighthouse For Scottish friends - "a queer-owned and woman led independent community bookshop. We are an unapologetically activist, intersectional, feminist, antiracist, lgbtq+ community space"

Gay's The Word The OG Queer bookshop in the UK. One day I will make my pilgrimage!!

The Ways Aziraphale Saves Others

I recently attended a webinar by the News Literacy Project about Misinformation and AI, not knowing that it was geared towards K-12 educators.

For my beloved mutuals who ARE educators, here's the google doc of resources they shared and some other links!

If anyone is curious these were the cabbage recipes I was told.

Grate it, pat it dry, and sprinkle it on fish tacos with breaded fish and sauce of your choice.

Carve a hole in the head of cabbage, add olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings of your choice. Wrap the whole thing in tin foil, then bake or grill until soft.

Chop it into squares and pan fry until soft then add soy sauce and protein of your choice, serve over rice.

Grace: he/him

Rocky: okay. Rocky will use he/him too

Grace: okay but I feel like defaulting to he/him promotes a patriarchal kind of mindset and we should be more thoughtful about it

Rocky: okay so use the other standard pronouns

Grace: she/her?

Rocky: yeah

Grace: okay but that feels weird too

Rocky: why weird question

Grace:

Grace: I guess I could

Rocky: Rocky he/she/they/it

Grace: I don't know if you can use it

Rocky: why not question

Grace: it's just considered dehumanising?

Rocky:

Grace: okay so you won't pick a pronoun but I have to pick a tonal inflection?

Rocky: my thing more important statement

Grace: okay fine can't you just your tones for me?

Rocky: but Grace not qualified engineer

Grace: well is there a schoolteacher tone?

Rocky: uhh no

Rocky: schoolteacher not

Rocky: schoolteacher not prestige profession statement

Grace:

Rocky: yes but very rude to use for close friend statement

Grace: wait hold up 🤔 you think of me as a close friend?

Rocky: uh-huh

Grace: does that mean what I think it means

Rocky: it means what it means statement

- what are the books that would make you the happiest to be compared to

- what are the story elements that keep you reading even when the book straight up isn’t good

Because you’re aiming for the first one. But during the process you will be writing something that isn’t great, probably. So what elements would it need to keep you going even if it isn’t great.

I like that a lot. I was like I’m gonna make a list now. But in my head the list was just like

1) when there’s a character who is gavroche

We're onto Esmeralda! She's one of my favorite heroines but that's not surprising, she's very beloved lol (I like her as a character, as representation as a Romani person...eeehh I'll leave that to the actual Romani people. And please use Romani instead of the word they use in the movie, that word is a racial slur!)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my favorite non princess movies right next to Atlantis so this'll be fun for me.

These are just my opinions, and aren't in any order really,

So, let us begin!!

Alkistis Protopsalti, Greek

Maybe I'm a bit bias since she's a voice claim for an OC, but I just love her. I love the softer, more whispery, huskier approach. It sounds she's in a church and is sing praying to herself if that makes sense? Idk man...I really love her rendition it's very special imo.
