the thing is i don't actually want a douchy 60's greaser aesthetic consciously! but i wear prescription aviators for light sensitivity, a used motorcycle would objectively be way cheaper to drive around in my city with minimum things without like having a car (though right now i have no problem with taking the subway), and i have an oral fixation and am naturally drawn to the smell of tobacco. the obsession with jackets *is* just because i think they're fucking awesome though.

I listened to some of LCB!Rodya's voice lines, today, and I think it's cute that she calls people "darling" ...

at the supermarket, waiting to reset my forgotten pin code for the supermarket's card (it gives me some kinds of promotions):

old cashier lady: so your name is...?

me: gives last name

cashier: [last name] + [deadname, on the process of being changed administratively]

me: yeah. and yes I know it's kinda weird--

cashier: no, it isn't. [proceeds to still refer to me as a sir]

Before Gentleman Jack: Emma Donoghue on Anne Lister and Eliza Raine

Bestselling author Emma Donoghue introduces Anne Lister (now often known as Gentleman Jack) and Eliza Raine, the real women behind her latest novel, Learned By Heart.

Who was Eliza Raine, and what was her relationship with Anne?

I wish Anne Lister’s first lover was just as famous as her, but Eliza Raine (1791-1860), shamefully mistreated during her long life, has been ignored ever since she died in obscurity. This fascinating woman – orphan heiress of an English East India Company doctor and his Indian ‘country wife’ – deserves attention not just for her beauty, her importance to Lister and her vivid letters, but for her outsider perspective on Regency England. Banished to the so-called motherland to be ‘Englished’ at six, with a sister she never got on with, Eliza Raine must have witnessed society from a uniquely critical perspective, and so I found it was her untold story that ended up as the centre of Learned by Heart.

Is Gentleman Jack based on a true story?

Yes, the two seasons of Sally Wainwright’s BBC/HBO series Gentleman Jack (2019-22) are not only gripping, big-budget period drama, but they’re based on archival documents. Wainwright somehow managed to craft the dramatic arcs of each episode from the daily minutiae of Lister’s five-million-word secret diary. I can’t think of another example of TV adaptation actually contributing to an archive in a virtuous feedback loop: Wainwright not only used a screenwriting award to fund scans of the massive diary, but the fandom spawned by her show helped inspire hundreds to sign up as Code Breakers (aka Lister Sisters) and do the comma-by-comma work of transcribing it. A smaller group of the Code Breakers also made it possible for me to write Learned by Heart, by transcribing and making sense of about a hundred letters between, by or about Lister and Raine.

y'know, i keep making a habit of swinging my bat at hornets nests, but i have to say i'm getting so, so tired of people complaining about shows not making perfect sense when they aren't even close to done. we're four episodes into this season of doctor who. we're four episodes into this season of bridgerton. and yet in both fandoms i keep seeing people whine that such and such didn't make sense or it wasn't explained all the way and by god you guys i think maybe explanations might come later in the season. this is something most viewers will recognize as being called a 'plot.'

Soooo.. how hot is his bodyguard?

The moment when we made eye contact, I screamed for him to help me and he jumped into action immediately will.... Fuck!! I'm never going to need porn again when I can just close my eyes and replay that moment in my head over and over again

there is something so gender affirming about writing about yourself in a professional sense and feeling comfortable about switching pronouns throughout the entire blurb

I know you're very open about being a trans woman but even if you weren't I'd have my suspicions. You made a joke about knocking yourself up with minecraft commands, you are VERY trans lady coded /fond.

YOU'RE RIGHT BUT HEY!!!! No but for real, I am kind of a generic trans lady stereotype. I'm tall, I look like I work in software development, I know at least one coding language (minecraft java commands count!), I have a strong affinity for a 90's-2000's toy line (bionicle is my drug of choice), and you can have me wrapped around your finger by calling me pretty and meaning it.
