One of My Biggest Inspirations for Taking Up Knitting

Oooo there’s a bunch of the 1980’s Joan Hickson Miss Marple’s on iPlayer - (re)watching them is happy-making (even though it’s sometimes giving me, intense but mundane, little flashbulb-type memories of watching them the first time round as a child/teen)

(They are SO much better than the 2000’s Geraldine McEwan/Julia McKenzie adaptations)

Letter Box

In the BeforeTimes people would frequent make a screened comment post after BiCon for people to tell them anything or ask questions (and to have the awkward conversations to match people to usernames - which is sadly less of an issue these days unless we can collectively coax a whole load of new people over here).

You do not have to have been at BiCon to play.

So if there is anything that you would like to tell me or ask me or whatever here is a space for it. Comments are screened and will stay screened (DW works more sensibly than LJ did so the journal-owner can reply to screened comments with only them and the commenter being able to see the exchange)
You can be anonymous if you really want but then you’ll never see your comment again (because it’ll be screened) and the only ways I’ll be able to reply that you can see are if I unscreen my reply here or address it in another post…

Ooooo the Hot and Bothered podcast is continuing its series of looking at Romantic Films with a set of episodes talking about Queer Romances. The first one is about But I’m a Cheerleader and it makes me happy because the hosts genuinely love the movie as well as discussing it critically (though it makes me feel old when they talk about it’s “historical moment”

There’s also a bonus initial episode with the awesome podcast veteran Kathy Tu discusses Queer Romances Books with H&B’s Vanessa - and they coo over the high levels of Bisexual Inclusion in the genre.
