Reading (free and comfort)

[jinian]

I'd love to say I'm okay after my long-ass hiatus, but, well. What I am is (1) stably employed in a job that was always performed remotely, which is both great and annoying, since I feel I'm missing out on the true social distancing experience, and (2) reading a lot. Most recently, M.C.A. Hogarth's Dreamhealers series for hard-core comfort purposes and a free novel called Widdershins that is definitely someone's adorable gay Call of Cthulhu campaign in novel format. (Too gross in places, but amusing overall. I appreciated the badass academic woman.) Lots and LOTS of free stories are being posted (one source is here), so hopefully I will keep from feeling quite as bonkers by writing about the ones I read.

Glad to see you here, though none of us is very okay right now. :)

Glad to see you too!

It's really good to see you, despite the state of...well, pretty much everything.

[jinian]

I missed you all, but it's been hard to come back. Hopefully it sticks this time.

Hopefully it sticks this time.

I hope so too!

Everytime someone says Hogarth, I think Hogarth from Jessica Jones, who is one of the high-femmyist-sociopaths I have ever heard about.

None of the four of us humans are noticeably sick, we just got Rhizome two cats who I am getting used to although wow I have a lot of boring new scars at this point, my oldest dog is old, and my younger dog is annoying, and there is a shitload of stuff I was going to do this spring/summer that this whole pandemic bullshit is getting in the way of. So, there I am.

Also, I am glad to see you.

Cats! Very glad to see you too.
