Here is the link to my June 24, 2021, Twitter thread reaction to an article in The Denver Post talking about how there are only 21 lesbian bars remaining in the United States.

The thread also promotes by COVID-inspired fetish sci-fi story Spring Quarantine, since a lesbian bar plays a role in it.

6/24/18 discussion of criminal youth/adult love cases

Here is the link to my June 24, 2018, Twitter thread discussion about my feelings about youth/adult love relationships.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads out of chronological order through 2018 and 2019. This thread is affected, and is only somewhat coherent. My apologies.

I would also like to mention that in this thread I detailed the recent history of legal cases regarding love affairs between women and girls, and how these cases, and my own feelings about society, had influenced my opinions about America's laws regarding the age of legally recognized consent to sex.

The feelings I express in this thread are largely unchanged. If anything, my only criticism of this thread is that, in the time since I wrote it, I really have not worked as hard as I should have to get a full understanding of the legal landscape regarding this issue.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

3/23/18 review of novel Dolly Dingle, Lesbian Landlady, by Monica Nolan


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the novel Dolly Dingle, Lesbian Landlady, by Monica Nolan.

The thread gives a summary of the novel and some context on Nolan's Lesbian Career-Girl series. The thread discusses the novel as less of pulp and more of a standard novel, as well as a Christmas novel. The thread discusses the novel's central conflict, characters' dramatic arcs, character dynamics, and general entertainment value. The thread also discusses themes like old friendships mellowing out and the conflict of the old versus the new.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is slightly affected. My apologies.

3/14/18 review of novel Maxie Mainwaring, Lesbian Dilettante


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the novel Maxie Mainwaring, Lesbian Dilettante, by Monica Nolan.

The thread gives a summary of the novel and some context on Nolan's Lesbian Career-Girl series. The thread discusses how the novel explores individual queerness versus queer normativity, the book's themes regarding self-expectations and society's expectations, some characters and character dynamics in the novel, an indication of youth/adult lesbian desire in the novel, the way the novel plays with pulp novel conventions, and the novel's themes on story-telling in society overall. It also gives some criticisms of the novel, including criticizing the number of characters and the stiffness of the love scenes.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order on Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is slightly affected. My apologies.

3/2/18 review of novel Bobby Blanchard, Lesbian Gym Teacher, by Monica Nolan


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the novel Bobby Blanchard, Lesbian Gym Teacher, by Monica Nolan.

The thread gives a summary of the novel and some background on Monica Nolan and her Lesbian Career-Girl series. The thread discusses how the novel plays with detective pulp conventions, its use of two mysteries instead of one, the plot and psychological parallels in the story, the way the novel plays with both heterosexual and lesbian story tropes, the sex scenes in the story, some of the life lessons of the story, and some of my criticisms of the novels.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected. My apologies.
