With fall nipping at our noses, everyone seems to be in the mood for the queer romance equivalent of a pumpkin spice latte this month, so let’s get to it and mix it up a bit!
Jess Rothschild is a podcaster and journalist, one of the founding writers at Autostraddle, and her latest project is a documentary podcast called Finding Fire Island, about the history of Fire Island, Cherry Grove, and the Pines. Her prior work includes The Cult of Body and Soul, about SoulCycle, and I love BOTH of these productions. Jess has been writing online longer than I have, and we talk about internet history, the process of making a … Continue reading 734. Finding Fire Island with Jess Rothschild →
It seems hideously unfair to lose Dolly Parton and Tim Curry on same day, right? Like, what the hell? There are a LOT of Tim Curry landmark performances, which makes for a whopper of a career retrospective.It’s like a giant game of “Yes, and…” over the course of 40+ years. I’m really glad I’m not in charge of editing that video. Egads. Curry, like Dolly, was an icon, which is a rather neat concept because … Continue reading Friday Videos Will Miss the Frank, the Rooster, and the Butler →
Letters from the Last Apothecary by Bita Behzadi is $1.99! This one was put on my radar after LittyN in the comments made the recommendation. Definitely sounds like something up the Bitchery’s alley.

Welcome back! How are we all doing? It’s September. Can you believe it? Did I say that last week about the end of August? Everything blurs together around this time anyway. I’m just thankful it’s starting to cool down where I’m at. We joined a local farm share and have an over abundance of peaches. Unfortunately, I have OAS (oral allergy syndrome) and a lot of raw fruits, especially stone fruits, make my mouth and … Continue reading Links: Rachel Reid, Podcasts, & More →
Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver is $4.99! This is book one in a new series and it came out last year. Weaver’s books are pretty popular, so I won’t be surprised if there are still lots of holds. I do love Weaver’s blend of dark humor and romance, but often find the pacing to be a bit lopsided in her romances.
