Autumn edition

It’s winter, and it’s getting pretty cold and wet as it always does. I really hope you have a nice, warm place to snuggle up and ride things out.

Liverpool Street, HOBART

9am - 5pm

I have recently been watching How to Build a Sex Room on Netflix, and there was this lovely polyamorous family of seven who had a room built with a nine-foot-wide bed so they could all cuddle on the one bed. It looked so comfy and warm and I'm just so sad that I can't have that - I don’t even identify as polyamorous, but I really just want to gather all my friends together and snuggle on a bed that size, it sounds incredible.

Sometimes, it’s also nice to go it alone; who was it who said self-care isn’t selfish, its self-preserving.

If you need help finding a good excuse to cuddle up on the couch, check out pages 8 and 9 – there you can find a list of fanastic (and queer-friendly) fantasy books that are just perfect for the colder days that are coming. There are some other tips amongst these pages, but I’ll leave them for you to find.

As always, remember to look after yourself this winter, self-care to the extreme, and we will see you on the other (hopefully warmer) side.

Connecting with community is a great way to see the winter months through. Make time to catch up with family and friends, even if it’s a quick trip out for a pre-spring bevvy, it’s probably good enough to just have a date or two in your calendar to look forward to.
