Possibly weird ask, but can anyone suggest any affirming books for a young queer Christian teen?

Finally starting the Netflix "Frankenstein" and boy, that kid Frankenstein actor just did the most *amazing* flounce onto a couch.

Today is officially the start of "wearing warm pajamas through the school drop-off line". Cheers to everyone else celebrating.

YouTube wrapped doesn't mean much when everyone in the family shares your account.

Me to K2: At least take your coat to school, it's way too cold to walk around in just a hoodie!

Also me: *walks into the store in just a hoodie*

My father-in-law stopped me at church to tell me he's proud of me for the hard work I've put in re: writing and how pleased he is at my recent successes and like, how dare he be so supportive and awesome? 😭

Took the evens (K2 and K4) to see Wicked 2. Both had ideal reactions in the right spots. K4 has a vendetta against Dorothy now.

Are there really people who can get a haircut and just go about their day? They don't have to rush home and take a shower to get the hair off?

Various members of the family have been down sick all week. K4 just fully got it this morning. Everything smells like Lysol and I am very, very tired of it.

That side character? He's the romantic lead now.
I’m curious, if you are a professional writer who wrote/writes fan fiction… what did you specialize in?

Mine was crackfic, character study and asexual romance.

Terrible comedian experience update: MIL indicated that she & everyone else was surprised at the "political junk" (her words) since they knew the comedian from 30 yrs ago when her jokes were about raising kids, etc, and reiterated she'd never knowingly put me in an uncomfortable situation. Love her.

K1 is 13, which means he obviously knows more than me about every topic. HOWEVER, I could not let it stand when he tried to tell me about playing the Zerg in StarCraft. Child, I have been OMGzergrushing since well before you were born.

Anyway he found out I know what I'm doing.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Went with my MIL, SIL, and aunt-in-law to see a Christian comedian. The first part was boomer jokes ("men are so dumb") mixed with MAGA greatest hits ("Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"). Thankfully I'd brought a notebook and got some writing done during the second part.
