FNC - Yes, I'm obsessed with the gay sports show!!!
What we're watching, reading, and listening to as we hurtle towards Christmas
Welcome to Friday Night Chats! I've spent the week having a wee break! Hopefully you didn't notice. And Friday Night Chats continues - so I hope you enjoy a slightly shorter FNC but still with lots of great recommendations! Arohanui Emily.

OBVIOUSLY, all I care about this week is Heated Rivalry. I have read the book(s) and loved them, but the TV show is perfection. I love it so much.
I have said for so long that we don't have enough horny content. I wondered how they'd handle all of the sex in the book, and it's just in the TV show!! All of it! Beautiful!
It's on Neon, and I'm obsessed. Have watched both episodes twice now. I very much feel like it is a gift to me specifically.
Last night I tried to watch it with three lesbians, and let me tell you - they were bored as Hell, haha. I talked about the V, and they were like: "you mean what Pink has?". So honestly, it's a film for the gals, the gays, and the bisexuals. I mean, it has bisexual lighting throughout...

I am really enjoying my break! Having Josh on board helping me has been so amazing. I forgot to put his art shop in the 2025 gift guide but here it is now!
And then being lucky enough to have a few great guest posts to share has been awesome. I'm endlessly grateful that you subscribe so I can pay writers for essential pieces!
I hope you've had a good week - we really are hurtling toward Christmas aren't we?!
I also got the Chuffed page working to raise funds for the precious families in Gaza we support! And when I say 'I', I mean Rose did it. Thank you Rose!

BTW I am censoring the F word now in newsletters because people have told me their emails are being held up in naughty word purgatory.
This is a preview of Friday Night Chats, a special email that gets sent out to my paid subscribers every Friday.
Paid supporters also get to join the community and chat in the comments about what they're watching or listening to or doing or just sound off about the GENERAL STATE OF THINGS. And that's important, because we care about making things better. Paid subscriptions support my work here, my family, and all the mahi we do as a community.
Here's a roundup of everything we achieved this year with paid member support (it's a lot!)
If you can, please take out a paid subscription and join the rest of our incredible community.
