WOWEE THE HOLIDAYS AMIRITE?! I haven’t done like, any shopping // yesterday I tried to, but then I ended up buying $93 of books for myself! (Good job!) Anyway, no idea what YOUR plans are the next week or so, but if you’re around for any/all of that time, we’ve got some solid options for your consideration! Many dance parties! Some great comedy shows! NYE parties! Screenings of Carol which I am making our GIF theme specifically out of queer principal, but also because I want you to never forget that I think Carol is actually kind of a garbage movie! (The soundtrack and outfits were p. good, though. I will give it that. But I’m sorry, I just don’t think it’s that good of a story!)

Before we get into all of the details, here’s what you might’ve missed on BYT since the last time we spoke in the event you were too busy wondering if you have to quit Harry Potter thanks to JK Rowling being a TERF piece of trash!
