Hi I'm Jules,

I read a lot of disability related more academic stuff and then mostly queer fantasy, science fiction / speculative fiction to relax.

I read mostly e-books for accessibility reasons. So if you're interested in a book on my lists, just send me a DM. I can point you to sources or just send it over.

I'm @queering_space@mastodon.art on masto

Sometimes honored with ceremonies such as ring exchanges, these relationships were considered a middle ground between friendship and romance and were often simply called "romantic friendship"
