I am very serious about the practice of Tsundoku - the ancient art of buying books and piling them up waiting to be read. If I added ones sitting on my Kindle in physical form there would be no room left for me in my study. Today I donated two boxes of books and didn’t notice a discernible dent.

Been getting a few DMs this weekend about finishing AO3 stories - I promise I won’t leave the stories unfinished but I have to focus on my own IP novel for a few more weeks. Sorry!!

I’d consider that bad advice if I hadn’t already done it.

It should not be controversial for Australia to reject the flawed, awful path other countries are adopting. This article spells out why.

A last minute trip to #conflux19 has filled me full of ideas. The opportunity to talk to people who have travelled the path you dream about is both breathtakingly rare and slightly intimidating.

For anybody who has been following kissingfingertips.com for a while, it’s about to do a full on pivot into being less about “reviewing” and being more about bringing queer content to more people and assessing the impact of it. Watch this space.

Follow up - military edition. (Yes, lawyers SO count. I watched 10 seasons of JAG just for Catherine Bell.)

Catherine Bell does aircraft carrier duty

Who knew Jennifer Beals would look good in fatigues?

Rose Rollins laid back as military police. Swoon.

There’s a scene right at the end where Amy asks Kirsten if she wants to come and meet Poppy, and you can reeeeally tell.

Ok that’s just odd.

She was! Not in the show in season 1 but in real life. They hid it well but towards the end you can really see it.

Vigil is back baby!! (So excited for this!) Could this be the first season where Rose Leslie is not pregnant on the show or in real life or both and can run around? 😂
