Astronaut Kate Rubins and author Andy Weir. Keynotes at the American Society of Microbiology annual conference.

About your doll collection, can you explain what you have? Also, it's really nice to have a creator in this fandom who talks about the stories and cares about it so much instead of solely focusing on the collector side of things. All of your posts are amazing, and I appreciate them a lot. Thank you!

ahhh, this is such a sweet ask! i'm glad that people like what i have to say about the stories, since they truly are so meaningful to me and have had a major influence in my life. i'm actually going to give babbity kate some credit behind me starting this blog; i've had a history of lurking in ag fan spaces throughout my older childhood years as a fan, and then again when i got on tumblr, but finally seeing someone else who focused on the stories made me want to do that as well.

anyways! onto your actual ask:) a little bit of context: i do have a pretty large collection from childhood (despite growing up middle-lower middle class) because my parents were keen on quality-over-quantity, so really the main items i got as gifts or spent my own money on were american girl items and books. i also got dolls/doll clothes/accessories from the ages of four to fourteen, so there was a lot of time for a collection to develop!

i have nine dolls (samantha, nellie, rebecca, marie-grace, cécile, caroline, molly, emily and grace), and a handful of mini dolls (including some of the holiday ones, but honestly i like the miniature books that the dolls come with more than i like the mini dolls themselves). my clothing collection is a lot of ag, but i also got really into sewing my own clothes for my dolls using the pleasant company patterns. i have a few off-brand furniture pieces, but i do have sam's wicker table and chairs, and i still remember the birthday that i received them:) when it comes to the books, i honestly have a handful of everything! main series, short stories, mysteries, goty, activity books, etc. most of them were bought second hand, and that is the one ag thing i will still buy if i come across some in a used bookstore or the like that i don't yet own.

if you've made it this far, here's a group picture i took of my dolls (plus a couple of china ones that i used as bridget and jenny) as a kid! it's actually driving me crazy that grace isn't in the picture, because i definitely had her by then. i also stand by uhhhh half of the clothes that the girls are wearing (marie-grace is ADORABLE in nellie's spring dress, the poncho that cécile is wearing is questionable at best).

bonus of grace being a cutie from that same childhood photo shoot:)

Harvey's been filming a new project that seems to be the newly-announced Damned If You Do, starring and executive-produced by Kate Siegel.

Deadline's description of the film:

Written by Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde, and produced by Objectively Good Media, the film follows a group of teenage friends who sold their souls to the devil. Naturally, life grants them different paths: a rock star, a tech mogul, and a high-profile activist. Years later, they must rely on an old classmate to try and escape Hell’s grasp before the contract’s deadline of their 25th high school reunion.

Portal to Space : the place where Astronauts take off and land photographs by Andrew McConnell from the photobook 'Some Worlds have Two Suns' by Andrew McConnell, published by GOST Books, London

Every three months a space rocket carrying three astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. At around the same time, to the north-east in remote grasslands, three other astronauts fall back to earth. The photographs in Some Worlds Have Two Suns document these comings and goings of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and the local community whose lives are accidentally intertwined with this portal to space. - GOST Books

Queer Book Recommendations

It's pride season in Wellington, New Zealand and my local library has published its second "Teen Staff Picks" zine! In that spirit, I bring you, a collection of lesser-known queer books featured in the two that have been released so far! I've narrowed the lists down to books that have 1000 or fewer reviews on Goodreads as of posting (though I actually use Storygraph personally). I haven't read most of these, they're new to me as well but looking forward to getting into them.
