One of my favorite movies for Pride month. It shows adolescence in a very....visceral light, that straight and queer people alike will find highly relatable. Some scenes are sweet, some are awkward and cringe-y, but you'll be emotionally rattled through the whole film. The ending is bittersweet, but it serves as a reminder that life doesn't always work the way we wish it would.

Hey, Terry!

So that explains the smell of roasted ham...

@clochette Hey, Tink! How are you?

We had ham and Gruyere crepes for dinner, with asparagus and Hollandaise sauce.

Hey, Clo!

Morgan says I should do lunges to stay in shape. That would be a big step forward.

That's not what I meant, and you know it!

How many pages will I find when I return from work, I wonder?

The only thing I would plot is better ways to tease you.

@Dan South Hey, buddy. How are things?

Hey, Dugh and Mum! I hope your plants aren't too badly affected.

Fake News!

Well. It seems that Morgan and I are hosting a foreign exchange student until Wednesday, in a roundabout way. The neighbors who hosted a cookout last weekend received a call from a relative, who wanted the family to visit NOW. Even though the neighbors had informed their family that they would have a houseguest, and thus wouldn't be open to sudden changes in plans, she called anyway. She was very insistent. (Read it: demanding and manipulative.) Her house is too small for the neighbors and Sascha to all fit, and she didn't/wouldn't want a stranger there, anyway. Consequently, Sascha was left home alone this weekend. I could see the family felt guilty about leaving him, but Sascha said, "You should go. Family is family. I can manage myself." I felt bad for him, so I said, "You're welcome to come over and have dinner with us." He brightened immediately and said, "Thank you. I will accept your invitation." I asked him if there was anything in particular that he wanted to eat. He grinned and replied "Tartiflette!" So, tonight, it's Tartiflette for dinner.

Hey, Bertie!

I don't believe you.

I see it's rather rowdy again today.

Such a cutie! Is he your nephew, by chance?

I didn't realize the stud in question was Manu Rios until Drew pointed it out. Comicality isn't here right now, so I feel I must advocate on his behalf.

Now may not be the best time to mention this, but I think Comicality already has a claim on Manu Rios. 🤷‍♂️

We smelled it the other day; and we have the wind from Lake Michigan to disperse the smoke.

Hey, Dugh and Mum.

I didn't say anything. So touchy!
