Fashuuuuuun (fashion)

I can't get enough of the office/professionally sexy look. Like a toned down office siren.

For those who are open to receiving newsletters etc from writers, I have a question.

Reblogs really appreciated!!

[tryslora]

newsletter!

I have created an author mailing list!

Thank you, folks, for the recommendation of Buttondown--it is stripped down and does exactly what I need and I will probably be happy to pay for it should I ever somehow get more than 100 subscribers. (I will be doing dances of glee should I get more than 100 subscribers).

So far I have subscribed to my own list and sent out a test email. I need to do some more template formatting, I know, and I will get there. Someday there will be a header image. For now, however, straight text with some formatting will have to do.

So, if anyone wants to subscribe to my fledgling newsletter, you should be able to do so via my Buttondown page.

I don't plan to post a newsletter more than monthly, unless I've got an imminent THING happening. There will probably be more posts in lead-up days to an indy release, or while a crowdfunding campaign for PHU print editions via DPP is happening. I'll send out a convention schedule if I'm on programming. But I don't want to spam anyone.

I did manage to get the form to subscribe embedded properly into my official Author Site. My next steps are getting it linked on other social media (and setting up a Carrd site because yes, I'm aware that's a thing I should have, too).

My big next step with the author page is getting a contact me form set up. Last one I tried just wasn't working out for me. I've got another one that I think will work better.

I may not be making words, but it's been a productive November at least.

Newsletter

Darlings! Your friendly reminder that I have a newsletter! It's free. You can sign up here:

I hope you'll subscribe! (Apologies for the large photo of my face.) It's pretty varied and often just whatever's on my mind.

INTRODUCING THE SUPERMAN '86 TO '99 NEWSLETTER!

AKA, the exact same thing as this blog, but in email form! You can subscribe here: https://buttondown.email/superman86to99 (make sure to check your spam folder for the confirmation email)

Why a newsletter? Mainly because we're trying to rely less on Tumblr now that it started limiting how much logged-out users can read, which is pretty dumb. We'll also be discontinuing our Twitter feed (since "Twitter" doesn't really exist anymore), so if you relied on that to find out about new posts, please consider subscribing. We're still on BlueSky, though, and everything in this blog will continue being copied and pasted into Patreon as free posts.

The newsletter is free and always will be, but we're also trying out* an optional "pay what you want" subscription thing where if you feel like throwing us $1 or more a month, you'll get all the articles about non-continuity stuff we've been posting on Patreon -- just sent out one about the Elseworlds annuals where Superboy and others dress up in leather jackets and rip off the Seven Samurai. (*I say "trying out" because it costs us $9 a month to enable this feature, so obviously we might have to turn it off if we end up losing money.)

But the main thing is, we want as many people as possible to read our posts gushing about Bibbo (big Bibbo/Krypto moment coming soon, btw) or obsessing about tiny '90s DC continuity details, and both Tumblr and Twitter don't seem to like that idea very much these days, so hopefully the newsletter will help fix that. We've already imported all 500+ posts in this blog into the newsletter's web archive, just in case Tumblr is suddenly bought out by a billionaire and becomes nothing but sweaty crypto bros selling AI-generated NFTs tomorrow.

Note: If you wanna pay $1 one time, read all the supporters-only articles, and cancel the subscription, go for it! We won't get mad. Just keep in mind those links will stop working after you unsub.

Note 2: If you're already a patron on Patreon and would rather get those articles via the newsletter, let me know and I'll add you to the paid tier for free.

Note 3: We posted a big article about the 1994 "Worlds Collide" crossover the other day, in case you missed it! (See, wouldn't have missed it if you got the newsletter... here's that link again: https://buttondown.email/superman86to99)

I stepped up my game a little these last few weeks. I lost <60 pounds and counting, but I have hit a block. Trying my best to get over the hump, however my confidence is peeking and self love has hit an all time high. Love that for me.

How to Not Get Poisoned in America • Buttondown

[foggyoutline]

How well could you explain what your grown-up children do for a living? Ever struggle to explain that new thing you're excited about to your parents?

In Professional Relations, the monthly email from Foggy Outline, a wife, a husband, and a son, who are also business partners, interview each other about work and life.

Karen, Rick, and @merelymatt are the directors of Foggy Outline. We’re also family members. In each issue of Professional Relations, one of us interviews another, and the third edits the result. Next month, we swap roles and change topics.

Newsletter!

It occurs to me that it's been a minute since I mentioned my newsletter. It's free! A new one went out over the weekend (this one was a joyful flailing over all the good news from the past few weeks), and yes, the word new looks completely weird since I've written it so many times.

You can sign up here: https://buttondown.email/alwayscoffee

And you can take a gander at the archive here: https://buttondown.email/alwayscoffee

I had been doing a TinyLetter, until that service went sideways. Buttondown has been great so far.

And I'm just about ready to launch my website, but I'm not leaving Tumblr. The website is in addition to all the everything, but it is purple--my favorite color.

it isn't really complicated, but i still can't tell my grandma about it. my girlfriend is also my boyfriend and i'm her girlboyfriend and there are a lot of days this feels like smoothing sheets over a good mattress. it feels like getting a cup of good hot chocolate. we paint our nails lesbian flag pink, and i watch her eyelashes make shadows on her cheeks. she wants to kiss me because i am really good at baking, and i want to kiss her because when i am freaked out about how i spilled coffee, she just hands me extra napkins and helps me clean. he is so handsome i want to eat my fist. they once just winked at me and i couldn't talk for like the next fifteen minutes.

i haven't seen the L word and i was raised catholic. my earliest experiences with queer relationships were through harrowing conversations and hushed questions and blood on the ground. i didn't like boys soon enough. what, are you gay? asked to a 6th grader, almost like a demand.

when she is asleep next to me and i can feel the dreams run up and down her body, i pretend we are both somewhere in the stars. i like to picture a future full of fruit trees, and writing him poetry. sometimes she wakes up, has a whole conversation with me, goes back to sleep, and utterly forgets that we ever even spoke. she is always kind to me, even in that liminal half-there ghost. i like the croaked, raw way her voice sounds in the very-early morning, the way she always seems surprised i'm still here, and home.

on the internet, there are a lot of people who would be annoyed by both of us, and how labels must be pruned into orchids. a box has to hold and define the insides. people must be organized.

we went on a date last night, and the host said, oh, table for 2 nice ladies? neither of us are ladies, but also we are very much 2 nice ladies. i have been wearing her sweater nonstop. he has frequently been forced into wearing my taylor swift official merch quarter-zip because i was worried about him catching a chill, and you simply cannot be cool in an official taylor swift quarter-zip. do not worry: they listen to better music than i do, and their voice sounds like leaves falling.

i wear the skirts and makeup and i am better with spackle and know how to drive stick. recently someone commented on my work - you're just a man trying to reappropriate lesbian spaces. sometimes i feel like she is a clementine to me, and sometimes i feel like he is a german shepherd and sometimes i feel they are a bird. i like watching his hands over a guitar. can i write this poem, even? how can you be a lesbian if you're sometimes with a man? or you are the man?

how can i, huh. you know, our first date lasted 3 days. we'd been flirting for over a year before i finally asked her out. i'd already written her into poetry. she'd already written me into songs.

last night, in the late night, when they woke up again, confused about where they were, they said - oh, thank god. this is your arm. there's just something so precious to me about the specifics, the denotation that the arm was (thank god!) mine. i really liked that definition. i liked the obvious relief because i understand it.

i say yeah, i have a partner. i mean - oh. thank god. it's your arm.
