Sunday Memeday

/ Noah Hawthorne / Leave a comment
A graphic captioned Sunday Memeday. Character art of Cornelius Sawyer and Watt Johnson. Memes: "I could fix him" well I could be the one person he's nice to and soft with, while he remains just as unbelievably awful as ever to everyone else. First base is beating the shit out of each other second base is having a civil conversation

The patron laughed, the sound more cutting than the glacial depths of the ocean. “Nah,” he said, before punching Watt in the face.

Reunion at first punch, anyone?

The Voice of Wild Places is a queer historical fiction following two former childhood friends as they search for lost legend Percy Fawcett, and the city he was looking for.

In case you haven’t heard, July is Disability Pride Month. Here is a collection of queer books with disabled characters and/or authors.

I’ve been doing this for quite some time, last time I did a post with this focus was Disability December and before that it was Disabled and Kicking Ass. Any recs I should include next time?
