I know opera has obviously lost its popularity as an artform, but honestly, when I do watch it I think "Wow, how hasn't Tumblr caught up on this?" Perhaps the most homoerotic artform you could conceive of - so dramatic its own name is a synonym for it. But I see no posts about an alternative version of Figaro where he ends up with the count, and the countess with Susanna, and Cherubino being a non-binary, pansexual icon. Or arguments over whether Carmen is a bold statement of female sexuality or a callous endorsement of cheating. Perhaps I'm in the wrong corner of tumblr, But there's a lot of material here if your mining.

Y'know I'm not sure whether I enjoy Battle Royale (the book) or not. I do think it's one of my most reread books but I also rarely get properly strong emotions from it if you know what I mean? I think the author might just have a fantastic sense of pacing. Even if I'm not all too invested, the drive is enough to carry me till the end of the book.

Progress Report - 4/29/24

hello and happy birthday!

...is how this was going to start when I intended to post it this past Friday. But I spent my birthday as a side character in the hit 1996 movie Twister. By which I mean there was a really big tornadoful storm here, the likes of which I've never seen before. It's never a fun time when the words "historic" and "record-breaking" are involved.

But anyway! My birthday was a few days ago, and to celebrate I have a slightly belated gift for all of you!

A release date

That's right, we're back in business here in Speakerland 😁 I'm so relieved to finally return to some semblance of normalcy, and I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to get back to doing regular monthly updates again.

As for this one, the update will be going up on Patreon TONIGHT! I'll be uploading that momentarily, in fact. That means that, barring any strange game-breaking bugs or overly tangled code, the update will be out for public release on Tuesday, May 7th!

I just want to thank everyone one more time for your patience, and for all the messages of support 💙 it really does mean the world to me.

I think that's it for this time! I hope you all have a fantastic week with only mild-to-moderate tornadoes, and I'll see you all next week! 💙💙🌪️💙
