This was a pleasant surprise and definitely lifted the spirits from the shit show that is life! My second print publication and I couldn’t be more proud 😊 thanks to @baconetti for the opportunity to contribute to this collection!

In fact Marvel should be applauded for not only centring queer characters, but also for making history with their first sapphic kiss and portraying an actual developed relationship between two women. Thank you for coming to my ted talk, sincerely a tired, critical thinking queer!

Agatha All Along DID NOT USE THE BURY YOUR GAYS TROPE! And here’s why: the relationship between Agatha and Rio was never supposed to have a happy ending. They had a history that was evident throughout the show, one of intensity, passion and love!

[Tasha C Marchini @TashaCMarchini]

None of these parameters apply to Agatha and Rio’s relationship. Was their kiss a kiss of death? Yes! Did Agatha ultimately die? Also yes! But that does not make it a usage of an outdated trope.

I would like to formally request that there be no more funerals of close family or friends within the next 10-15 years. My emotional stability cannot handle anymore. I think 5 in 3 years is more than enough!

Word to the wise, do not decide to get a new piercing when you are in a weird headspace! It’s always the most painful piercings we decide to get when in those headspaces 😅

Is it currently 3am? Yes! Am I currently sitting watching Ratched while I delve into the horror genres ability to perfectly capture the screening of queer memory or more specifically sapphic memory? Also yes! And are my eyes burning in my head? Most definitely!

Last night feels like a fever dream that my little lesbian heart cannot comprehend! @arxxband and @findingfletcher were phenomenal as expected. But it has proved that my 31 year old ass is getting too old for this shit and that 14 hour day trips are not it!

When you have research to do but it’s hot outside, move your work into the sun! Hopefully now I won’t spend the next few months looking like Casper 😅

[Tasha C Marchini @TashaCMarchini]

Most people use their weekends to chill out, especially when it’s like the fiery flames of hell outside. Me on the other hand I put on my current playlist/album that I’m obsessed with and become a domestic goddess, while my princess of a wife is at work 🙃

When you’re supposed to be presenting a paper at your first conference but instead you’re fighting for your life with food poisoning!

When the dude next to you on your flight home is reading something that screams incel/alpha dom vibes, you simply play your queerest lady loving playlist at full volume and watch them become uncomfortable!

It’s my favourite persons birthday! And they get to spend their 30th walking around museums in sweltering heat 😂 happy birthday my love, I hope your day is as gay and fabulous as you are ❤️

[Simon Bacon @baconetti]

This is even more amazing as there’s now 2 books on the IGA long list….and among such terrific authors and editors.

A million thanks to the folks that nominated Future Folk Horror and The Evolution of Horror and a HUGE welldone to all the contributors to both books.

When you’re in the middle of a meeting and your dog decides that the house is under attack and almost launches herself out the window and barks so loud you thought you were about to have a heart attack. All because another dog had the audacity to walk past her home 😅

[Tasha C Marchini @TashaCMarchini]

Can someone please explain to me why men feel the need to make obscene grunts and groans while in the gym! I am traumatised and may require extensive therapy!

[Tasha C Marchini @TashaCMarchini]

I’m the idiot that decides to get their thigh tattooed and have had to run around in shorts in the dead of winter. Worth it, because everyone needs a lonely doll maker and 9ft 6 vampire milf in their life 😅

[Tasha C Marchini @TashaCMarchini]

@NicoleGHam The second one is just as good 😅
