I found this tag on Well-Read Twenty Something and thought it was a fun idea — I usually just talk about stuff I like, but this has a few “something everybody hates but you like” questions and some “something everybody loves that you don’t” questions, so it’s a bit different. And you know, for the most…… Continue reading Unpopular Opinions Book Tag!
I successfully defended my thesis WOOOHOOOO YAAAAAY! One more summer of class and I graduate! My brain’s still pretty fried from all that, but my buddy Rose and I put together a Star Trek post for Comparative Geeks: Let’s Talk About First Officers. June is Pride Month, so in addition to some of the usual shenanigans, I’m…… Continue reading Quick update and Star Trek and stuff!
This month’s Star Trek column on Comparative Geeks is a short review of the mobile game Trexels! I also recently reviewed a similar game called High School Story, one of my favorites. I also had the pleasure of writing for Write On Sisters again last week, with a post on ways writers can use the…… Continue reading Guest Posts and A to Z Thoughts
I’ve been anxiously awaiting Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events since the first announcement, and it’s surpassed by wildest expectations. Rich aesthetics, witty and gripping, manages to be unexpected despite my love of the books, and the whole production team seems to have wholeheartedly embraced creating this slightly off-kilter world. And it has an intro sequence with…… Continue reading Review: Netflix’s Series of Unfortunate Events

Hi all! It’s been a while since I did a chatty post, and I’m a bit short on time to write any of the long ones in my queue, so I thought it’d be a good time for a quick update! First, I’m more active on other social media than I used to be, so…… Continue reading What I’m Up To
Today I bring you the shortest of reviews. I won’t waste your time — you could be spending it reading this book, after all: O Human Star is a comic which the creator, Blue Delliquanti, identifies as a “science fiction family drama.” It’s full of queer characters and robots. Some of the queer characters ARE robots. All…… Continue reading Review: O Human Star by Blue Delliquanti
Apparently I was in the mood for documentaries this weekend! Fortunately for me, Netflix is currently offering three movies (mostly) about gay actors, particularly interesting watched together: The Out List, To Be Takei, and Tab Hunter Confidential. The Out List (2013) This one’s not entirely about LGBT actors, I just thought it was. It’s a one-hour documentary about…… Continue reading 3 Gay Actor Documentaries
Heeeey sorry about that two-week absence there! Finishing up the summer semester and time just got away from me. If it helps, pretend I was on this trip I actually took at the end of June. I visited Duke University in North Carolina for a week to do some research in the Rubenstein Rare Book…… Continue reading Museum Mini-Visits (Charlotte and Durham, NC)
