THE WILD BUNCH 1969

We all dream of being a child again, even the worst of us. Perhaps the worst most of all.

[abs0luteb4stard]

W A T C H I N G

Gene Hackman always played terrible evil bad guys, but he's such a lovely good dude in real life. He was on Richard Nixon's 'enemy list'. That alone makes him a good guy IRL. Lol

Oliver Reed is in this, his first American movie. Playing an American cowboy. His facial scars play well into it.

Characters with mismatched morals. The seemingly well-dressed rich rancher is a sadist and a gleeful angrymurder.

The gruff unkempt working class guy misunderstood as an outlaw, has the morals of an antihero, but a decent man that seems to respect lives of even the worst of his group.

The woman that willfully marries her rich rancher husband but seems to have learned he has no heat, he's secretly mean and sadistic. The outlaw kidnaps her to learn to read, but even in taking her he's more kind and tender than he disgusting husband. To the point that she'd rather be with and die with a man that's got a soul than her cold controlling hellish husband.

Conundrum. I love it when the balance is turned upside down and inside out. Nobody is innocent. But there's definitely someone guiltier and filthier than the other.

Chef’s Choice was up for a Lammy this year and LOST! And I legitimately could not be happier.

I always think people are lying when they get all humble after something like this, but I am NOT lying, y’all. Genuinely, it was a thrill just to be short-listed for the Lambda Literary Awards.

If you haven’t gotten around to reading Chef’s Choice yet, please pick it up! Luna and Jean-Pierre will always hold a special place in my heart and, I’m told, the hearts of trans readers who saw something of themselves and their relationships in this book. Hooray for my sophomore romcom, the T4T fake dating foodie farce that got out into the world!

Today, I’m just basking in the fact that I was in a room with lots of queer talent with my hot wife on my arm. Truly wouldn’t believe it if you’d told me in 2021 this was my future.

I, for one, am going to buy a copy of the winner in the LGBTQ+ Erotica & Romance category, Laura Q’s A Tight Squeeze: Smutty Trans and Queer Stories. In my opinion, the correct book took home the award. Erotica has always been a cornerstone of queer literature and it makes my heart happy seeing it get its flowers. I definitely encourage you to check out the short list to see all the titles that were up for awards this year. What a slate! Although I’m still confused why the Lammys structure their categories the way they do. I find it really strange to have what is essentially a category for LGBTQ+ Erotica & BTQ+ Romance while the Big L and Big G are off doing their own thing in Romance categories, but maybe that’s just me. Anyhoo!

I was not expecting to win an award but I have anxiety so here is the acceptance speech I had in my pocket, reproduced with only slight editing for you.

I want to thank my wife, without whom none of my books would exist; my agent Larissa Melo Pienkowski; Dana, my first reader and lifelong friend; Lara Jones, my editor at Atria, and the entire Atria team. Any accolades this book receives is a reflection of their dedication to the bit. Having a trans love story celebrated in this moment is meaningful because this is a moment when politics and police and policies are coalescing around the idea that trans lives are worthless. That we are disposable. And it is a moment where those same or similar forces are saying Palestinian lives are worthless, are disposable. These two things, and many other injustices besides, are forever linked in my mind because there is no trans liberation, queer liberation, any liberation, until there is complete liberation. Trans rights now, and in the same breath, in the same moment, free, free Palestine.

This Pride I am asking you to please donate to Gaza Funds and do what you can to protest this genocide.

One last thing! Triple Sec, my poly romcom set in the glamorous world of high-class cocktail bars, is out now and I am still on tour! If you’re in Brooklyn, Philly, or online there’s an event for you. Come on out, we’ll get a drink, have a few laughs, etc. Byeeeee sluts 😘

Hicvember 10: Libraries

Apropos of nothing, I've actually written hiccup porn in a public library once. If you're ever low on resources or need a place to charge your phone or use the internet, sincerely, they're one of your best options. The same for just having a place that you can exist outside of your home without spending money.

Anyway, have Olivia requesting Susanna's help with a case of the hiccups in the university library.

Content: Hiccups, massaging, having to hold hiccups back.

Olivia E. Jones: Come to the library, Susanna.

Susie Q(ueer): Well hello to you too, asshole.

Olivia E. Jones: My dearest Susanna Jane Butler, I am writing you this missive in want of your accompaniment to the university library, which has been so starved of your genteel presence.

Susie Q(ueer): Okay, I see you typing more of this silly shit, I'll go. But seriously, what do you want me there for? You're definitely not getting me to help with that essay.

Olivia E. Jones: I wouldn't want you to anyway. I'm at a 7 right now, and they're not naturally quiet.

Susie Q(ueer): Oh, shit. And you're not leaving because "I reserved this private room for two hours, I'm going to use it for two hours."

Olivia E. Jones: You know me well.

Susie Q(ueer): Want me to bring some tea?

Olivia E. Jones: Yes please. I might want you to cure me, but I do actually wanna get shit done, so I'll probably just ask you to help keep me comfortable.

Susie Q(ueer): Gotcha. Be there in five or ten.

Olivia was doing a good job of muffling her hiccups already. When I got to the library, I could only hear them when I was a few feet away from the private room she'd reserved, and I was specifically listening for them. I let myself in and closed the door quickly behind me. She didn't acknowledge me, fully focused on her laptop in front of her, but when I put the first thermos of tea in front of her, she started drinking from it immediately. Her hiccups were knocking her back pretty hard, and she was doing a good job swallowing the sounds, reducing them to thumps and thunks inside of her chest.

...they were strong enough to make her chair squeak slightly. That made my face go pink.

"Take bre---breaks when you n–*nnk*–need to, but I'd l---like it if you ru---ubbed my neck *mmnk* and chest fro---from behind."

"Got it." I figured that was what she wanted, but having her confirm it officially gave me permission to get started.

...plus, there was a non-zero chance that I was just projecting.

But since she'd given me the go-ahead, I stacked up some textbooks behind her chair to stand on (fuck being short. Fuck being short forever.) and started massaging her shoulders. It would have been more fun for me to do this from the front, and maybe she'd ask for that later (I could dream), but for now, I just enjoyed feeling her body jolt back over and over, carefully rubbing her neck and chest and feeling the way the triangle just above her clavicle would pull in with the suction of each hiccup as well as the hop of the chest and shoulders beneath me.

Even with how used to Olivia's hiccups I had to become, they still made me blush now and then, and this was definitely one of those times. A tiny part of me wished she'd let me try to cure her while we were still here, or even just try to make her hiccup out loud, but as horny as I was, she was my best friend first and foremost and I wanted to make her comfortable while she worked.

The fact that it turned me on so much was just a bonus.

The main cast of 'Department Q'

📷 (L-R) Alexej Manvelov, Chloe Pirrie, Matthew Goode, Kelly Macdonald & Leah Byrne

Courtesy/Josh Shinner/Getty/FX/Leigh Lothian via Deadline.com

Information from 'Deadline' -

Department Q has staffed up. Cameras are rolling in Scotland on the upcoming series adaptation of Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen’s hugely popular crime novels. Matthew Goode, Chloe Pirrie, Alexej Manvelov, Leah Byrne and Kelly Macdonald are all on board Netflix‘s English-language series Deadline can reveal. The project comes from showrunner Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit). It has been written by Frank, Chandni Lakhani, Stephen Greenhorn and Colette Kane. Frank directs the first two of the eight instalments. Filming is taking place in Edinburgh, where the series will be set. Goode will play DCI Carl Morck. After a violent incident turns Morck’s life upside down, the emotionally scarred detective is charged with setting up cold case unit, Department Q, upon his return to work. At first, the disillusioned cop is happy to waste his days away, but his detective instincts are ultimately reawakened and his new department becomes a magnet for a crew of misfits and mavericks. The project sees Goode working with Left Bank Pictures and Netflix once more. He played Antony Armstrong Jones in season two of Left Bank’s regal drama The Crown. Pirrie, whose credits include The Queen’s Gambit, plays ruthless and ambitious prosecutor Merrit Lingard. Fellow Scottish actor Macdonald takes the role of Dr. Rachel Irving, a therapist tasked with getting officers back on the front line. Manvelov (Jack Ryan) is Syrian cop Akram Salim, who was forced to flee to Europe and ultimately becomes part of the new department. Byrne takes the role of Rose, a star police cadet left shaken by a breakdown and looking for a chance to prove herself in DCI Morck’s team. The cast also includes Mark Bonnar (Guilt), Shirley Henderson (Bridget Jones), Jamie Sives (Crime) and Kate Dickie (Inside Man). Adler-Olsen’s books have spawned a very successful film franchise. The fourth film based on the novels, The Purity Of Vengeance, became the highest-grossing Danish film at the local box office. New movies are in the works.
