#my reading life

The first episode aired today in ‘72, so here are my M*A*S*H books to celebrate!! 🎉

I can map my life by the fictional men I’ve loved. They’ve saved my life more times than most people would credit. Finding Mr. Robinson, recently, has been the gentlest, most fortuitous blessing - and I do wish that I could somehow tell him so. His voice is a miracle - even when it is carving bloody chasms in my heart when his character laments his waning friendship with Dr. Bashir…

i'll ride in this life with you - Sassenach082 - Top Gun (1986) [Archive of Our Own]

While I'm on a a03 fic sharing gig.... If you're not reading this what are you even doing?! Seriously. It's one of the best fics I've read in a really long time. It has everything! Literally. @sassenach082 has created this little world that I just can't get enough of. It's truly the best!

Icemav with baby (5yr old) Goose and the flyboy uncles. Seriously what more could you ask for? I beg of you to read it if you haven't. You won't be disappointed

First book of 2023 📚

[gorillaz-and-cupcakes-fan]

I'm going to make my reading a little bit more like my tumblr. Some cottagecore stuff. Some Archie Comics stuff. Some intersectional feminist stuff. All that is why I love this blog.

In fact I want to make more of my social media like this blog.

a day late to my 6 years on t anniversary ✨🏳️‍⚧️ a short comic about looking back

[stil-lindigo]

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

This fic is so good! Totally just made my Monday with another update. 😍 Honestly anything @ladylanera has written for TG/TGM is amazing and if you're not reading her stuff you should be!
