Killing myself seems like a lot of work—it has always seemed like a big production—but also, I don't want to be alive. There is nothing for me on this earth, only pain and shame.

ANNA DORN

"I like that astrology transcends gender, class, and race. The stars don't care that I grew up in a shitty suburb and didn't go to college. The point is I'm a Scorpio, the same sign as Winona Ryder. I also like that astrology allows me to skip the bullshit and dive right into the mess of the human condition. I mean, astrology is bullshit. But it's a more interesting type of bullshit than the average bullshit-your job, your car, your siblings... like I care. I want to know if you struggle with control issues or are prone to hysteria.

And once I know someone's chart, I have a rubric for interpreting that person. They become less mysterious and, more importantly, less frightening.

I was getting ready to throw in the towel and leave Hollywood when I had an idea. I could charge people for readings. A few dollars at first, hook them, then raise the price. I didn't go to college, but I also wasn't an idiot. I saw what Uber did.

Soon people were paying me at least $200 to read their charts. I started Exalted, where I paired viral images with captions like "When you're a Cancer." It was mindless and asinine, and people ate it up. My Instagram followers skyrocketed daily, and my inbox was suddenly full of requests for readings and magazine editors asking me to write astrology listicles. I posted my Venmo account on my Instagram page, and people would just give me money. For years, I almost felt rich. I could afford therapy and Juicy tracksuits in every color and groceries from Gelson's and generous tips at the Mirror Box. It all felt too good to be true, and it turns out it was. "

I also picked this apartment because it's down the street from the Mirror Box, an iconic burlesque dive. I typically go on off-hours, in the early afternoon, right after I finish my work for the day. There isn't much to do in my apartment aside from look at my phone and refresh websites. I got Lydia for something to do, but she has no interest in me. I crave affection, a humiliating human impulse, so I go to the Mirror Box every day as soon as it opens and throw money I made lying to people online at women pole dancing to Radiohead.

I saw you like Daisy Jones & the Six and sapphic stories and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an a fictional memoir/oral history (Ala Daisy Jones) abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend/narrative foil. It also has a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. An entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and a really satisfying ending!

I hadn't heard of Burn the House Down, so thank you for the rec!! :) It definitely sounds like something up my alley. Is Amazon the best place to get this or is there another place I'm missing? I didn't see it on Bookshop.

What else is everyone reading that we should add to the list? Don't be shy :)

My recent sapphic reads:

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo. Historical fiction set in 1950s San Francisco, mostly from the POV of a Chinese American girl discovering her sexuality. In short, if you loved the bar scenes from A League of Their Own series, you might like the vibes of this one. It also gets a little spicy. 🌶

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. Ok truth be told I only just started this one, but my lil bi heart loved Red, White, and Royal Blue so I had to check out the author's other books. So far, so good!

Exhalted by Anna Dorn. Astrology meets Fleabag, this is one hot mess of a read (in a fun way).

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Okay okay no one needs me to list this, everyone knows already, but READ IT AGAIN OKAY?? :) Who are we fan casting??

Girls Can Kiss Now by Jill Gutowitz - validate your teenage experience and read this. The short essays make it a breeze and it's extremely relatable.

Greedy: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much by Jen Winston. Okay tbh the title was really off-putting to me because I was feeling self-conscious about being bi and in a long term monogamous relationship (so many cheating stereotypes), but ultimately I picked up the book and then couldn't put it down. It captures so much of how I felt coming of age in the closet and why I constantly feel invalidated. Love you forever Jen Winston <3

I Might Regret This by Abbi Jacobson. She talks a bit about discovering her sexuality and it's beautiful <3

(me, an anxious): is this something people are interested in? Should we make this a regular thing? And they were Roomies Recs?

Demelza Dayne in Gardens of Misery

PART I

Demelza Dayne, Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen were said to be the closest of friends as children. However once Viserys’ first wife died, things began to change between them. All three entered in the full bloom of their beauty, Alicent becoming betrothed to Viserys and putting tension between her and Rhaenyra. Demelza, meanwhile, gained the attention of several admirers, including Criston Cole and Daemon Targaryen.

The friendship between the girls was vital for another purpose: as Demelza was from a prominent Dornish family, it was thought she may be able to bring Dorne into the fold. The youngest of five siblings, Demelza was nonetheless an attractive marriage prospect. She was accompanied at most times by her guardian and confidante, Valko Sand.

The friendship between the girls reached a breaking point after Alicent bore Viserys a son, and Demelza abruptly departed King’s Landing for Starfall. She did not write to either Alicent or Rhaenyra for a time, and it would be years before the true purpose for her exile came to light.

ASOIAF FANCASTING --> EVERY NAMED FEMALE CHARACTER ABOVE THE AGE OF FIVE, PART XIX

Elaena Targaryen (c. 150-220 AC): Youngest child of King Aegon III and his wife Daenaera Velaryon. For the entirety of her teenage years, she was imprisoned in the Maidenvault by her older brother, Baelor I. She fell in love with Lord Alyn Velaryon and gave birth to his twin bastard children, Jon and Jeyne Waters. After he disappeared at sea, she eventually agreed to marry another after a year had passed. She was wed to the aged Lord Ossifer Plumm, but he died on their wedding night. Nine months later, she gave birth to a son, Viserys Plumm, whom some whispered had been fathered by the ruling king, Elaena's cousin Aegon. After Aegon's death, she married Lord Ronnel Penrose, Daeron II's master of coin. Daeron trusted Elaena with many matters of state, including doing her husband's job. She had four children with Ronnel, then declared that seven children was enough for her. After he died, she married once more, this time for love. Fancast: Kirsten Dunst.

Eleanor Mooton (b. 286 AC): Daughter and heir of Lord William Mooton of Maidenpool. She is wed to Dickon Tarly, the youngest son and heir of Randyll Tarly of Horn Hill, who has occupied Maidenpool at the end of the War of Five Kings. Fancast: Bella Ramsey.

Elenda Caron (b. approx. 97 AC): Wife of Lord Borros Baratheon of Storm's End, and mother to his four daughters, the Four Storms. In the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Borros was initially courted by both sides, but came out in support of Aegon II after betrothing one of his daughters to Aegon's brother Aemond. Elenda became pregnant once again during the Dance and gave birth to a boy, Royce, seven days after her husband died in battle. She ruled the Stormlands as regent until her son came of age. Fancast: Meryem Uzerli.

Elenei (Age of Heroes): The daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind, she loved the mortal Durran Godsgrief, who became the first Storm King. Angered at their union, her parents destroyed every castle that Durran built, until the seventh castle withstood their anger. Fancast: Andie MacDowell.

Eleyna Westerling (b. 287 AC): Younger daughter of Lord Gawen Westerling and his wife, Sybell Spicer. Her older sister, Jeyne, becomes the wife and queen of Robb Stark during the war of the Five Kings, and Eleyna and her mother and siblings join his retinue. Fancast: Bonnie Wright.

Elia Martell (256-283 AC): Daughter of the ruling Princess of Dorne and wife of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, with whom she had two children, Rhaenys and Aegon. Elia's health was ever fragile, and the maesters advised that it would be dangerous for her to bear any more children; this may have been the reason that Prince Rhaegar abducted Lyanna Stark, since he believed that he needed to have three children to fulfill an ancient prophecy. However, Rhaegar died in battle during Robert's Rebellion, and when King's Landing fell to Tywin Lannister, Elia and her two tiny children were brutally murdered at his command. Fancast: Anna Shaffer.

Elia Sand (b. 285 AC): Eldest daughter of Prince Oberyn Martell, younger brother of the ruling Prince Doran, and his paramour Ellaria Sand. She accompanies her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, on her way to meet the Golden Company, and gets into trouble along the way. Fancast: Ivana Baquero.

Elinda Massey (b. approx. 115 AC): Lady in waiting to Queen Rhaenyra during the Dance of the Dragons. She was with Rhaenyra in King's Landing until she fled from the rioting, and landed with her on Dragonstone, where she witnessed Rhaenyra's death by her brother Aegon II's dragon, Sunfyre. Stories say that she gouged her own eyes out at the sight of Rhaenyra being devoured by the dragon. Fancast: Doutzen Kroes.

Elinor Costayne (b. 28 AC): The widow of a knight named Theo Bolling. After he was killed by the king, Maegor the Cruel, for supposedly conspiring with the Dowager Queen Alyssa to put her son Jaehaerys on the throne, she was summoned to marry Maegor in a ceremony with two other brides. All three women, known as the Black Brides, were widows and had borne children; Elinor had given her first husband three sons by the time she was nineteen. She became pregnant with Maegor's child, but the son was stillborn and deformed. After Maegor's death and the accession of Jaehaerys I, she was one of the Seven Speakers who helped convince the realm of King's Jaehaerys' fitness for the crown and the Targaryens' exceptionalism. She eventually devoted herself to the Faith of the Seven, joining the great motherhouse in Lannisport. Fancast: Joely Richardson.

Elinor Massey (b. approx. 120 AC): She was one of the noblewomen suggested as a marriage candidate for King Aegon III after the death of his first wife, Jaehaera. After it was announced that there would be a ball held on Maiden's Day for the king to choose a new wife, a tale of how she had been deflowered started to spread, probably instigated by the Hand of the King, Unwin Peake, who wanted to marry the king to his own daughter, Myrielle. Fancast: Ece Çesmioglu.
