1. Start Here is now available at our little cabinet of romance books, Collective Base Theater Mall Greenhills, CAB 110. We always need to restock this. Dali niyang ibenta sa totoo lang haha. But seriously, it is an acknowledged problem that RomanceClass doesn’t have enough standalone queer romance books. (Why? There are many works-in-progress in various stages of “progress”…getting them ready for publishing is something we all support but we can’t force it too, you know?) The success of this book and the handful of others are great but there should be more, really. This is your sign, if you’re into that lol.
2. Speaking of our little cabinet of books. I have been paying for this out of my own pocket for almost a year, and RomanceClass authors don’t pay me to be placed here, and it is an expense for sure but also a joy. I think many of us have bookstore dreams and this is me living that dream, but small version. (Handselling RomanceClass books at events, also at no cost to RomanceClass authors whose books I sell, is that too.)
3. It ultimately doesn’t matter what my mood is, but I’m sad/angry/have-come-to-sobering-realizations-about-humanity to witness genocide/s. If you can help, please do. If you’re concerned about helping or about the legitimacy of groups asking for help, I hope you look them up and in the meantime do what you feel is within your ability. And then sometimes action will require leaps.
4. Shoutout to friends who are back to blogging. Yay for recently updating! I love reading what you’re up to.
I’ve been gradually building a links list, very old school. Tell me what should be on it!
