@TipsyTentacle Opening Up by Tristan Taormino is the one I recommend most often. it's ... more even-handed? less smug? than most other texts on nonmonogamy I've seen.
and now my bachelor weekend begins! everybody's out of town so I'm going to stay up all night & play video games.
next re-reading The Devil and Deep Space, the next novel under #Jurisdiction -- which, as best as I cam remember, is all about how long it can take for things to come home to roost. For all that this series has been about the lack of real justice under a corrupt regime, this novel is a turning point-- some things actually are inevitable. But it's not clear that justice is one of those things.
Also, corruption throws sand into all the works, especially the work to replace corruption.
This stuff has totally ruined me for tomato salsas. And it's made in small enough batches that often the co-op is sold out. So *this* is one of those weeks where everything tastes boring, maybe next week everything will taste good again.
@starkatt also Never Alone and To the Moon and The Longest Journey/Dreamfall series (and thank you for the final impetus to reinstall steam on my tablet!)
and also Katherine Cross reviewed The Town of Light today & I hope to someday be brave enough for that: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/300544/Experiencing_a_protagonists_personal_hell_in_The_Town_of_Light.php
@starkatt Ladykiller In a Bind is adorable and sexy and queer. http://ladykillerinabind.com
*feeling loved*
A brief series of undemonstrative lovers mostly broke me of the habit of holding hands. I wonder if I can get that back?
Daydreaming about kisses.
Spending time with people who actually appreciate me is good & wonderful in itself and also a nice antidote to the petty resentments of Friday. Feeling cherished.
(Also enjoying that feeling of having been piggily greedy & happily indulged. Yum.)
In Hour of Judgement we are reminded what "unsupportable" actually means. At this point under #Jurisdiction the reader and protagonist are both a bit numb, so it's time to personalize the stakes.
This book is the hardest for me to reread. Because the anguish we see in the first hundred pages isn't Koscuisko's, but that of people helpless under Bond. Even when his options are constrained by the systems in which he operates, K. never loses personal agency to the extent the bond-involuntaries do.
My second pride parade was in the early nineties. So, big already, since it was SF, but not corporate to the extent it is now. I marched with a bi contingent...don't remember exactly which org. When we saw somebody standing on the sidelines we recognized, we'd run over & try to pull them into the parade to march with us. If they did, we'd chant "we recruit! We recruit!"
I don't feel like we could get away with that nowadays. For a variety of reasons.
