Two or three generations deep into cheap Ikea-Wayfair-Amazon alphabet soup furniture and nobody in the movies is clearing a desk to fuck on top of it anymore because we know better. Getting railed bent over that pressboard dresser? I think not.

One time I wrote erotica about Owl from Winnie the Pooh for a public competitive bookstore event and I've just received word that a couple who met that night are to be wed. This is the glory the ancients dreamt of.

Definitely a cozy story, but also one brave enough to address theft as the natural outcome of unmet need. Heart-warming stuff.

Long stretches of unsupervised time. Print pornography left in remote places. An inability to get factual answers to your questions. Everyone smoking everywhere, all the time. Bizarre pastimes born of true boredom. Long stretches of screen-free time. Going to the library nearly every day.

Reminder for your Pride events to book ASL interpreters, use wheelchair-accessible venues, and enforce a masking policy, at minimum. We can’t be proud to be part of a community until they include all of us—yes, “us” means your weird queer disabled friend, too. 😌
