Thursday Recs

[soc_puppet]

Actually on Thursday, too!

My rec this week is to do what you can to keep a healthy body temperature. A lot of us in the northern hemisphere are getting absolutely slammed by winter storms right now, while things are only heating up in the southern hemisphere. Be sure to follow locally appropriate weather related advice to the best of your ability!


Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!

Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!

As an add on to your rec, for those in hot weather, remember that water is your friend. Stay hydrated. Wet clothes on skin pull heat away from you (cotton is very good for that). Hot air blowing over water cools down which can be used to help cool things down if the humidity is low.

In terms of a queer thing by queer creators, I shall rec Stars in Their Eyes, written by Jessica Walton and illustrated by Aśka. Absolutely gorgeous short graphic story about a teenager going to a fancon. Description snitched from elsewhere:

Maisie has always dreamed of meeting her hero, Kara Bufano, an amputee actor who plays a kick-arse amputee character in her favourite show. Fancon is big and exciting and exhausting. Then she meets Ollie, a cute volunteer who she has a lot in common with. Could this be the start of something, or will her mum, who doesn’t seem to know what boundaries are, embarrass her before she and Ollie have a chance?
