Sugar Rush Recaps: S1E1

In case you missed it, I’m bisexual. I am very much on the bi side of the spectrum. When it comes to sexuality: straight I ain’t. And since this is my blog, I can yell as much as I like about things that interest me, and the representation of the non-straights in pop culture has always been one of them. So it only seems right, after the decided chasteness of my last set of recaps, that I take on something a little more…sexual. A little more gay. A little more…Sugar Rush.

Riverdale S3E16: Big Fun

Alright, you know what? That’s it. I’m done.

I’m done trying to make sense of this show. I’m done trying to figure out what the best version of Riverdale is – I’m done lying awake at night imagining KJ Apa lurking at the end of my bed and croaking horrors about another fucking boxing episode.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Chapter Seventeen

It would be remiss of me, in this recap of a debut book, not to mention that my very own debut novel Rape Jokes is coming out in just TWO DAYS OH MY GOD. You can still get it at a pre-release discount till then right here – it’s about rape, sexual dysfunction, misogyny, and harassment, so it’s all round a bundle of laughs. Less child abuse than Harry Potter, so…upsides? Anyway.

OCDiaries: The Up-Downsides of Diagnosis

Before we go the fuck anywhere with this, I just want to yell loudly about the fact that my debut novel is out in THREE DAYS and you can still get it at a pre-release discount till then right here – it’s about rape, sexual dysfunction, misogyny, and harassment, so it’s all round a bundle of laughs. Just like these articles! See, I tied it in.

Riverdale S3E15: American Dreams

I just want to remind you up top that my fucking DEBUT NOVEL comes out in FIVE DAYS which means you just have a few days left to get it at a pre-sale 20% discount. Right here! Get on it! Go on!

This week’s outing, American Dreams, is Riverdale’s fiftieth episode. Which could be a chance for the show to pause and reflect on things – but instead, we’re gallumphing forward with the speed and control of a runaway hippopotamus. Let’s get into it, shall we?
