- I don’t think I could love them more ❤️❤️❤️
- My hope every New Year’s Eve youtu.be/K5QH1orYl9Y?...
- 2025 in review: favorite BL series I had two favs this year: Khemjira and Shine. I like it when shows move the genre into new territory. Khemjira takes #ThaiBL folklore & horror to a new level. And Shine moves us squarely into M/M drama and ups the politics of #NotMe Both are great! #BLSeries

- School Trip was beautiful!
- BL 2025 Favs Day 26: Japan Now, it’s the best part of the countdown: Our favorite BL Series. Let’s start with our top favs from Japan. #BL2025Wrapped
- Even the humpback whales are celebrating our 30th anniversary! @paulcjones.bsky.social #BigIsland #Hawaii
- My leave for next year has been endorsed by my department. Unless something nefarious happens at the college or university levels, I’ll have an entire year off to write my monograph about late 17thC manuscript books!
- Perhaps my favorite #ThaiBL moment of all time is Tian’s mother asking her husband in the airport who that man hugging their son is and him telling not to worry about it! #Taleofa1000Stars
- Whenever you see Emi Thasorn in a #ThaiBL (or any other show), you know it’s going to be good! #LastTwilight #WandeeGoodday #TheTrainee #Perfect10Liners #BurnoutSyndrome
- Thai-BL corner of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better. What is your all-time favorite TV Show? #BLseries
- One of the marvelous things about rewatching #UntilWeMeetAgain is that #StudioWabiSabi isn’t afraid to let its actors sweat. All through Ep 12 Ohm is sweating like he actually lives in Thailand!
- GMMTV would never let this happen! 😂
- One of my favorite #ThaiBL moments of all time is Plan’s character messing with Dean by having Pharm feed him a dessert in Ep 6 of #UntilWeMeetAgain
- I’m rewatching #Taleofa1000Stars. I had forgotten how flirty Phupha and Tian are in episode 3! So sweet. ❤️ #ThaiBL #BLSeries #EarthMix
- I’m rewatching #UntilWeMeetAgain and am on ep 3. I feel we’re all Pharm when “P’Dean” suddenly says he’s single. It’s crazy how well the car scene works narratively. #ThaiBL #BLSeries
- I've been hesitant to say I'm writing a book (anxiety, don't want to jinx anything, not sure, etc.). But I've made an important decision. No more hedging. I'm writing a book! I can finally see its shape & contours. Now to get it done! #MSbooks #LateStuartEngland #BookHistory #QueerBibliography
- Dorothy L. Sayers’ “Have His Carcase” has this lovely description of Peter’s age: “the halcyon period between the self-tormenting exuberance of youth and the fretful carpe diem of approaching senility.” Like Peter, I intend to “extract an Epicurean enjoyment” from this phase of life.
- My favorite thing about the opening scene of #LoveintheAir is the tiny little barrier the guards have up to prevent trucks from entering the illegal race. My cat could knock it over! 😂😂😂 #ThaiBL #BLSeries #BossNoeul #FortPeat
- A couple of weeks ago I felt the urge to reread “Nemesis” by #AgathaChristie. Then I reread “Unnatural Death” by #DorothyLSayers. Then I reread Christie’s “At Bertram’s Hotel.” Next up: “Have His Carcass.” I’m relishing the contrasts in styles and strengths! #books
- I’ve been trying to get into Reset but didn’t find the first few eps compelling, but ep 4 has me hooked! Romance. Intrigue. Hissy fits. Complicated pasts. It’s got it all. And #PanPond are great! #ThaiBL #ResettheSeries
- A week in Paris was wonderful, and a few days in Bilbao is idyllic!
- I’m nearly halfway through rewatching #KinnPorsche again. Clearly it’s my favorite #ThaiBL. But it’s also that we’re clearly not in a great Thai BL moment right now. #Gelboys and #ThamePo were great, but I’m not really feeling any of the current shows. 1/
- I want to start #Reset, and I’m liking #BoysinLove as a light, fluffy show. #SweetToothGoodDentist was just that: sweet. I thought #OssansLoveTH showed Earth’s acting range and talent. I’m watching #MyStubborn, but it gets more problematic every week. 2/
- #TheNextPrince has promise but I’m finding it just a little too slow. So, I’m back watching my favorite show: #KinnPorsche. (Maybe I’ll follow it with my other fav: #MoonlightChicken. ❤️)

- Just discovered Rennae Stubbs’ podcast, and I love her great analysis. I’ll be listening from now on! #tennis #rolandgarros
- This was the best #FrenchOpen since 2013, when both Serena and Rafa won. I’m so happy for Coco and @carlosalcaraz.bsky.social
- My time in the UK was productive: 32 #manuscript miscellanies, commonplace books, & unbound collections at the #BritishLibrary, the V&A, the U of Nottingham, the U of Leeds, & #HolkhamHall. I hope to be back in a year to see 2 I couldn’t see and 2 I want to spend more time with.
- This photo of #DaouOffroad is a masterpiece of visual storytelling! #ThaiBL
- I worked with these two beauties yesterday! The brown one is held at the #Victoria&AlbertMuseum. The red one is at the #BritishLibrary. Both are major miscellanies for my project.
- I got to spend time with this beautiful late 17th-century manuscript miscellany today!
- As I watched Pope Francis’s funeral this morning, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Who wears a bright blue suit to a funeral?!”
- Part of my research concerns the bindings of manuscript books produced in the late 17thC. I sketched this cover in case the image I requested didn’t come out well. Fortunately it did! My sketch would not have helped me much later! 😂 #manuscripts #bookhistory
