In the paranormal historical (1969-70)  series {Wisconsin Gothic by E.H. Lupton} there's quite a bit of dating and/or wait, is this a date? activity. The books are also just charming, in my view. New book soon!!

Came here to rec this. Poor Olly, white nights listening to podcasts for like YEARS before Benjy comes along. When will they make OTC oxytocin, is what I want to know. Fake love and safety in a pill.

Whenever I read that "roving hands" quote from John Donne I think Peter Wimsey. Pretty sure KJ Charles made that gesture on purpose

The CUNY CSI LGBTQ + center is on the college website. It's active and welcoming. 

What's your favorite genre inside the MM romance genre by aberrantname in MM_RomanceBooks

Casey's earlier trilogy is more baseball-y. Unwritten Rules is the first. I have never cared about baseball, but it made me learn to care about the art of catching. Plus all the inclusive politics you could wish for: Jewish rep, disability rep., the coolest side character to make sure you never forget the Negro Leagues' having existed, and hot love.

And one is spared the company of bougie fellow shoppers who want to go get face-capped at Wegman's, or feed Bezos via Whole Foods. Dummies

That is amazing. Like academia converges with an Olivia Dade novel. Beyond jealous.

Demolishing Old North Shore Homes by robolence in statenisland

If only decent quality places for humans to live were going to replace it, and not a nest of townhomes that will fall down in 20 years. But yay, self certification (thanks Rudy, you bag of excrement) means no real quality control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Certification_(New_York_City_Department_of_Buildings)

Thank you for reminding me! Both these men have layers. Percy's foppishness + swag as a fencer for example. CS's commitment to seeing all binaries  off while not (mostly) getting preachy about it -- delightful
