Just listened to an advanced listening copy of TJ Klune's newest novel, (Out April 28) and let me just say...prepare yourselves. It's powerful and moving and I can't stop thinking about it.

The Me That Remains An autobiography of me and my eating disorder

For years I thought I just had “weird behaviors around food.” This is the story of how I learned the truth—and began finding the me that remains. open.substack.com/pub/simpleth...

Happy International Asexuality Day! Reminder that asexuality has always been and will always be a valid queer identity and always deserves a safe space within the queer community! If you are ace, as I know I am, regardless of wherever you are on the spectrum of it, you are queer AND valid! 💜🤍🖤

Nearly everything I know about social media I learned on Usenet.

Take that for what it's worth.

If you haven't heard the new Amy Grant song that dropped today...you should. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA_3...

Hey, LGB folks. I know you are wrathful about Transgender people, but what did the I and the A do to make you mad enough to drop them? I'm "A". I literally do nothing.

We were all born the way we were born.

PS: Transgender folks, you are safe with me!

At Five Percent Learning to leave before I'm empty

Lucy has a limit—and she honors it. I’m learning what happens when I don’t. open.substack.com/pub/simpleth...

News broke today that Russia proposed faking an assassination attempt on Viktor Orban to override all logic and ensure an emotional victory for him there. Makes sense. This tactic already worked in the USA.

We should table that.

Me and My Body Part 1

What looks like “just clothes” can carry decades of shame. When a simple therapy assignment brought me to tears, I had to confront how much my body still remembers, and how to tell the difference between growth and self-punishment. open.substack.com/pub/simpleth...
