 Holy shit, I did a million things in LA during this visit-- went to Friday night services at my girlfriend's temple, attended a J-fashion event, and hosted a Discord discussion group during which two of us downloaded iNaturalist (perhaps optimistically). On Sunday I helped prep hamantashen and watched my first Purimspiel and megillah reading (both of which featured my girlfriend-- Andromeda, you were great ;)). I also hung out at the Tom of Finnland House, had a Zoom interview for an MSW program, bought myself a back issue of Giant Robot as a post-interview treat, and-- finally-- read some issues of an underground comics series from the 1990s called Liliane: Bi Dyke. (Which led me to poke my nose into the digital versions of Queerzine Explosion, a roundup of queer zines that often mentioned work by Liliane's artist and artists she namedrops. So I'm getting a better picture of the landscape of queer zines!)
I also spent some time on Fanlore reading about early K/S fandom. I have, um, distinctive interests.
