Pride Month
The Last Spell in the Margins
The house at the end of Holy Cross Road looked like it had let out its final breath. The rooftop sagged slightly, and the shutters leaned off-kilter toward the soil. Even the fence, once pristine white, was now yellowed and peeling. Inside, the family picked through the remains of Eliza Bankop’s estate with hazy, tired eyes. Piles began to take shape as her adult children divided what was left. The younger grandchildren dashed around the mess, their energy unleashed after sitting still through the two-hour funeral. In the kitchen, the spouses chatted with beers in hand, unfazed by the solemn occasion.

Revisiting Yuri!!! on Ice — 8 Years Later!. Top Story - June 2025.
That’s right, people—Yuri!!! on Ice came out over 8 years ago. Feel old yet? Yuri!!! on Ice is a lovely little show. It’s a half-figure skating, half-romance anime about a 23-year-old Japanese ice skater named Katsuki Yuri, and he’s having a rough go of it. After binge-eating before a competition due to stress and the depression of losing his childhood dog, Yuri loses terribly at Nationals. He heads back home to Japan, fearing and dreading that his exuberant figure skating career may be coming to a sad and rather lackluster end.

Xtra Xtra. Top Story - June 2025.
There is something that needs to be said during pride month. At least something that I need to remind myself. That I don’t need to be out to everyone during that month. And that I don’t need to be a model trans man. Nor do I need to be the perfect model of gay either. As I am asexual and aromantic. What I also don’t need to do is get into a relationship anytime soon either.
