Maya and Mike, meeting Maya yawned, pulling on the hem of her dress for what felt like a thousandth time this evening. She didn't particularly care about her ass showing - quite the opposite. People saw her trying to fix he...

Little something. I am very tired and eepy so please lemme know if you notice anything weird
Maya and Mike's first (technically second, but Maya doesn't remember first) interaction
I want to do the continuation from Mike's POV tomorrow

“Spent” with Alison Bechdel Come along on this deep dive into Alison Bechdel’s new autofictional comic novel Spent, that will give you everything from Edward Gorey Easter eggs to Harriet the Spy content. Alison teaches me things about myself (I’m a bottom-up thinker. Who knew!) and reflects on what Alison, the character, learns from finally meeting the much beloved Dykes to Watch Out For on the page. Whether you are a fan of goats, wood chopping, reality TV or Virginia Woolf – this episode has something for every kind of anti-capitalist dyke.   References: Alison Bechel’s The Secret to Superhuman Strength Alison Bechel’s Fun Home Alison Bechel’s Dykes to Watch Out For Carmen Maria Machado Karl Marx’s Das Kapital The Guilty Feminist podcast Queer Eye Tidying Up with Marie Kondo Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse Nicole Coenen Grant Wood’s American Gothic Edward Gorey’s The Unstrung Harp The Gashlycrumb Tinies T his Queer Book Saved My Life Jonathan Cape Foyles https://www.foyles.co.uk/events/cape-graphic-novels-mini-con Anna Trench’s Florrie Louise Fitzhugh’s Harriet the Spy   Questions you should be able to respond to: -      What are some of Alison Bechdel’s most well-known texts? -      How does Alison reflect on intergenerational queer community? -      In a lesbian version of Queer Eye, what would the five lesbians’ areas of expertise be? -      If you could fictionalise a detail of your life, what would you invent for yourself?
