I'm too socially inept to know how to respond to this, but I appreciate your post and agree with the sentiment, to the degree that I feel an upvote is inadequate.

I'm just lucky enough to have one at my apartment building, and very wasteful neighbors.

I'm in an apartment building, so I just browse the one here whenever I take the trash out. I don't think anyone has noticed, or they've elected to mind their own business if they have.

There's so much stuff that could still be used that it honestly isn't funny, and that's just in my own bin. How much more is being wasted across the country? But at least it's in the recycling and not the trash, so that's something, I guess.

No, but I did get an Xbox that only needed a power cable.

Do you have a particular source on modern LGBT realities in Iran you could recommend?

Digging through e-waste bins is one of my hobbies.

Would they, though? Knowing that the entire rest of the world would be down their throats in an instant? Knowing Israel would immediately nuke them back?

As a gay ppl: So what? You think this attack is going to advance quiltbag rights?

Maybe a nice, platonic interaction counts as a fetish if you're ace.

I'm okay with Iran having nuclear weapons because many other terrible countries have them already and seem to have zero interest in disarming. They have the right to pursue defense via deterrence.

I think the capitalization is less baffling if you've ever received an email from Trump inviting you for an exclusive trip to Mar-a-Lago, or offering you one of his exclusive gold watches. I have no idea how they got my email, but they were sending them so frequently I actually blocked them.

 

Self-Made Boys is a reimagining of the Great Gatsby by queer and mixed-raced author Anna-Marie McLemore. It has mystery, love geometry, good humor, and great pacing.

It touched on some pretty heavy topics, but always managed to make me feel really good about myself rather than depressed or triggered. The author made me feel connected to a wider community through the characters' connections with each other, and the supportive ways injustices and traumas were addressed.

Five stars.
