Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
You could BUY THEM?! This is the punishment I get for not stalking her ig...
it was like this one event! they sold while we were in line to get one!
also wow I would murder to go see Binnie like, read poetry, do stuff. Super fucking awesome.
she lives in VT these days, i live under a rock and am on no other social media than the bear. i only knew about this and got lucky cause a friend brought me along. she might do another short poetry reading tour on the east coast and canada sometime soon? keep and eye out!
CANADA
what happens if she actually comes through and I go and see and spill ALL my spaghetti? This is not a normal reality.
Maria Griffiths works exactly the same bookstore job that Imogen Binnie did at the same timeframe, their lives are verrrry similar at least. Also though...
"Hello ma'am thank you for giving me my entire personality for life when I was a kid, really a clutch move" ?
kill your idols, except not literally.
I have none
we love to see it
I think Binnie is rad but you only read someone's blog or whatever and their nutting into a teacup once, you know? She's not my Online Patron Saint, her book is but all the authors of A Novels are just people, I know because they talk online. Seeing Alison Rumfitt respond to fucking Halimede was the least nomral moment in this saga.
It's not really an idolisation problem, more that this freak subsection of books has become an utter obsession in my life. They're great fun to read and discuss, but it's probably best not to dig in too far cause I am nooooot regular
wait what about nutting in a teacup and what did alison rumfitt say to halimede?
Lmao that was just a post on Binnie's blog, it's about a lack of info on reproductive health in trans women. Her girlfriend analysed her sperm counts.
I kinda feel like I shouldn't be saying this, but she just put it out there online so it's fine I guess?
Alison Rumfitt just riffed on the post where Halimede is like, extending apologies to all the trans who have ever been insulted and how they must be so strong or w/e. As an interaction not notable at all, but anytime the Crusty Old A Novels world crashes into the Hip Internet Trans world, it kinda breaks my perception for a sec.
I guess the throughline is like, analysing the texts and stuff is fun, digging into people's personal lives not so much, which is what the research into authors boils down to. Even reading blogs or interviews can feel uncomfortably voyeuristic, like why do I know any of this?
stay not normal, ash. your posting powers are unparalleled.
Okay thanks I'll do my best and be atypical
