June London meetup

June 3, 2023 ~ katepreach ~ Leave a comment

My health recovery has been going really well, so here I am again! 10th June, 1pm, Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, SE1 8XX. We will be on Level 2 (the upper levels are closed to non-ticket-holders), but I don’t know exactly where on the floor. It will depend on where we can find a table. … Continue reading June London meetup

February 15, 2023February 15, 2023 ~ JenniferP

The candy is half-price the flowers are wilting, and in my inbox some sweet folks are a-jilting. My manuscript's growing, my brain needs a break, so time for some letters about hope and heartbreak.

Update: “I think my professors fucked me up.”

January 31, 2023 ~ JenniferP

Evidence of life after escaping an abusive and toxic environment.

#1393: “How can I stop other women from hating on me for my happy life?”

January 27, 2023January 28, 2023 ~ JenniferP

#1392: Doom or Consequences? The Case of The Transmisogynist Missing Stair…Who Bites

January 24, 2023 ~ JenniferP

"They bite, and are a total asshole with no home training, but I love them anyway" is for adorable cats you adopt out of the trash, not for friends. And when friends come over, those cats go in a nice room with water and a litter box and a door that closes.
