If you're feeling hopeless, if you're filing fired up, whatever you're feeling, might I recommend @haymarketbooks.org :

Back to this nonsense, I love that it's not about accuracy in terms of character you are but accuracy based on how you report yourself & then how you rate how you identify with that character (looking for trends) - but anyway, I'm equally like Hannibal, The Joker, and Applejack from My Lil Pony lmao

This is actually pretty funny of the 1000s of characters in the database, imagine having your top four character matches like, "you are THESE fascists and cops and racists and domestic abusers and narcs."

For context, Christian from Moulin Rouge was at the top w only 86% so all these are pretty close, interestingly. I'm cackling that I'm supposedly like Kenny from South Park, Amelie from Amelie, Luna Lovegood and Jake Sisko come in hot at 81% lol 80% Frodo.... what a fun little exercise this was.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

Am I just.... a very sensitive and pretty boyfriend type? And I did not know? Smol clown underpinnings here, but not... as much as I would have hoped lmao

Boy, howdy! @carterkeane.bsky.social

Anyway, if you want to treat yourself today, you can buy the followup to Stonewall Honor Book BEETLE AND THE HOLLOWBONE'S BEETLE AND THE CHIMERA CARNIVAL.... and if you haven't read the first, you can buy 'em both. Be gay in these trying times, there's a party at the end bookshop.org/p/books/beet...

Me facing 2025

An announcement that starting in January 2025, Einstein Literary Agency will be closing, and Susanna Einstein & I will be joining Dunow, Carlson, & Lerner Agency. If you're looking to query me, look for me there in the new year, thank you!
