Queer Reads: Tal Bauer

To conclude the hockey portion of our programming, I bring you the most yearning-ful author yet: Tal Bauer. 

Baurer writes a variety of genres in the romance world, from sports romances to political thrillers, but one thing that he has in common with all of his books is the feels. I think I’ve teared up reading every single one of his books. His characters are great, his writing is great, and the emotional turmoil is top notch. 

The first four books are his sport romances. The two football books are connected, and focus on college football in Texas. The hockey books are also connected, and focus on the best pro hockey team, Montreal, in the first book, and the worst hockey team, Colorado, in the second book. My only beef with the Colorado book is that it’s set in Boulder instead of Denver, but as Bauer is clearly not from here, he can be forgiven. These books have all of the feels, just constantly, and you def want to read the warning labels on all of them, but particularly The Rest Of The Story. 

The next four books are actually all one story, and should be read all together, binged over a long week of doing nothing but reading these books. Our two MCs are the president of the United States and the head of his Secret Service, and it’s so good. There’s political intrigue, there’s international politics, there’s a fantastic cast of side characters. There’s also two more books after this series that focus on a set of the side characters, and I haven’t read it because I haven’t been in the right emotional state to subject myself to that amount of the feels. 

And then there’s the last four books, which are a duo, and then two unconnected books, but what they have in common is the law enforcement characters. The Murder Between Us and The Grave Between us is about two FBI agents, one who profiles serial killers. Hell and Gone is set in the wild mountains of Montana, and Never Stay Gone is set in small town Texas. There’s murder and mystery and hot spice in all of them. Also, a lot of yearning. 

Check out Tal Bauer if you’d like to get your feelings hurt or to have a good cry. There’s happily ever afters for all of these, but jeez do the characters go through it.

getting incredibly tired of westerners responding to firsthand accounts shared by palestinians in gaza with the reflexive demand to see a "source"

because by source, they always mean a western news report

never mind, of course, that international journalists are banned from entering gaza; the word of the western journalist, writing in passive voice about a genocide 6000 miles away, is still deemed more 'reliable' than the firsthand accounts shared by the victims living through that same genocide

a palestinian shares a video of an IOF solider brutalizing civilians in gaza? not good enough; they still need a ''source.'' the video in question was posted by a palestinian journalist? okay cool, but does someone have a more reliable source? can we get a word in from the esteemed fact-checkers over at the new york crimes, or the iraq-has-wmds-post? we just don't want to spread misinformation...

Four years is FAR TOO SHORT a sentence for a violent criminal like Amy Verlee Hall - the sentence should be no less than ten - but at least the miserable piece of shit is off the streets for a while.

Now do micro-peen Rick Collin.

Watch "It’s happening…" on YouTube

You know how white people use being scared as a weapon? All those videos of white women saying, "I called the cops because I felt like I was in danger" and how white guys have tiktoks about, "You need at least one semi automatic weapon close at hand at all times to defend your family" kinda shit?

That's what bothers me so much about watching fellow jews acting like just seeing a Palestinian flag or keffiyeh somehow automatically makes a place unsafe.

I mostly see it in US American jews posting about how they feel threatened by a Palestinian flag, or saying that anything referencing not wanting thousands and thousands of Palestinians to die is 'a call for jewish genocide'

Y'all. No. This tells me you have never interacted with a Palestinian or even the Muslim community at large. We diaspora Jews are not the victims here.

Your assimilation has ended on the path of weaponisation of your fears, which is not a great place to be.

If you honestly believe "The only safe place in the world for Jews is Israel" you've bought into someone fearmongering. I'm begging you to investigate why you bought that lie and who is benefiting from you buying it

the thing about bad buddy is that calling it enemies to lovers is not entirely wrong and is a very succinct and easy way to indicate the general plot, but also one of the only moments that the two main characters are actually personally in conflict with each other lasts about four minutes and is expressed mainly through upset shirtless xylophone playing contrasted with a montage of happy moments that features a time there was triumphant shirt-wearing xylophone playing. and then they both say sorry at literally the exact same time
