Boys in the yard hold less appeal today after cleaning up after them.

I was thinking more along the lines that sitting down might be awkward. ๐Ÿคฃ

Depends how short they are, I suppose.

This isn't a year for shorts for me as I'm writing a novel and awaiting line edits for another.

I miss their immediacy, but it's also cool to take a little break.

Indeed. It's like they can't even parse a simple sentence or something.

There's a whole internet out there and your own feed to rant about whatever aspect of life you want. But you're not doing it on mine when I'm expressing a personal sentiment.

End of discussion.

Imagine being a cishet man and informing gay men that ppl have done bad things in the name of religion.

This sounds so much more efficient than me, idk, just saying what I want.

That was a fun chapter to write. I do love a scene of gay sexual repression when the repression is crumbling and it's all gone to filth.

Only in fiction though, obviously.
