Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed a law on Monday that adds crucial protections for LGBTQ+ couples using fertility treatments to build a family.

The Michigan Family Protection Act includes a series of provisions to protect families of all kinds. Most notably for the LGBTQ+ community, it changes “outdated state law to treat LGBTQ+ families equally and eliminate the need for them to go through a costly and invasive process to get documentation confirming their parental status,” as a press release from the governor’s office explains, adding that “Even if they move to a state that does not respect these basic rights, these bills help ensure they cannot be denied their relationship to their child.”

The law also repeals a law that made Michigan the only state in the country to criminalize surrogacy contracts; increases protections for surrogates, parents, and children; ensures equal legal treatment of children born through surrogacy and assisted reproduction; and streamlines the process for families to establish legal connections to their children.

“The Michigan Family Protection Act takes commonsense, long-overdue action to repeal Michigan’s ban on surrogacy, protect families formed by IVF, and ensure LGBTQ+ parents are treated equally,” Gov. Whitmer said in a statement. “Your family’s decisions should be up to you, and my legislative partners and I will keep fighting like hell to protect reproductive freedom in Michigan and make our state the best place to start, raise, and grow your family.”

Stephanie Jones, founder of the Michigan Fertility Alliance, called the legislation “an incredible victory for all Michigan families formed through assisted reproduction, including IVF and surrogacy, and for LGBTQ+ families.”

The press release also acknowledged the attacks on reproductive rights taking place across the country, most notably the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and the 2024 Alabama Supreme Court’s declaration that embryos created through IVF have the same legal rights as children.

“As other states seek to restrict IVF, ban abortion, and make it harder to start a family, Michigan is supporting women and protecting reproductive freedoms for everyone,” the release stated.

One fierce advocate, Tammy Myers, has been fighting for the decriminalization of surrogacy in the state for the past four years. She told 7 Action News, “The tipping point, I think, is seeing that rights are being taken across the nation and we all need to fight for reproductive freedom.”

Polly Crozier, director of family advocacy at GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), added in a statement, “Michigan has shown us what strengthening families should look like in 2024: making it more possible for people to fulfill their dreams of building a family and more accessible for all families, including LGBTQ+ families, to obtain the safety and stability that comes with legal parentage.”

“Amid efforts to restrict Americans’ reproductive freedom and roll back protections for LGBTQ+ people and their families, the Michigan Family Protection Act is an inspiring example for other states where gaps in parentage laws leave families vulnerable.”

✨Teaser: In Technicolor✨

So some of you may know this, but my next fic that was set to release was originally called “Ballad of a Teenage Dream” and was a Wednesday x Skam crossover that showcased all the highs and lows of high school and the growing pains that come with the transition from teenager to young adult.

Well that story has been reworked, overhauled, and given new life.

I present to you my high school dramady, In Technicolor.

Set in Los Angeles, California, the story follows two groups of friends as their worlds collide. A modern spin on the social dynamics of Romeo and Juliet where two factions are warring but cannot remember why or why their bitter rivalry is so important to their identity, In Technicolor highlights the feuding of the wealthy and the everyday citizens to show the consequences that come from stripping culture and history from the city streets in the name of gentrification. It explores the complex relationships of families on either side of the fence to reveal that wealth does not always bring happiness. And finally, at the center of it all, the complicated friendships and relationships of the members of these two groups as they meld into one.

For our East LA champions, we follow the Addams siblings and their mismatched group of skateboarders, graffiti artists, musicians, and street racers.

For our Palisades elite, we focus on the Blossoms and Galpin’s—two families from extreme wealth that are not entirely honest about what they show the world.

Important Story Information: If the visuals were not enough to give it away, this story will be a crossover with a different fandom. Entering the mix is the ensemble from Riverdale. I do want to caution readers now, there will be crossover pairings, character retcon on both sides, ageing up, ageing down, and changes to character personalities.

One such example is that Wednesday isn’t allergic to color and isn’t entirely unapproachable. She smiles and laughs but only when around those she trusts like her family and friends. Pugsley has been aged up and is Wednesday’s twin brother. My face claim for this version of Pugsley is Xolo Mariduẽna and I have made Pugsley (who also will be going by “Lee”) more confident and hotheaded with some snark and sass. Second to that, my face claim for Pubert “Bertie” Addams is Malachi Barton and Pubert/Bertie will be one year younger than his siblings—the twins Wednesday and Pugsley age 17 and in their senior year and Bertie age 16 entering his junior year.

On the Riverdale side of the crossover, I have made certain changes that I don’t want to reveal just yet for Archie’s character. That surprise will come soon enough because next I will be posting moodboards for specific couples that will be at the center of this story. But one change I will discuss now to get it out there to avoid hate comments and harassment is the issue of is Cheryl bi or is she a lesbian. In my story, she’s bi and will be paired with a male lead. I understand that the actress for her character went back and forth on Cheryl’s orientation but, to me, Cheryl reads like a chaotic bisexual that goes back and forth on her identity because being bi is confusing enough. And as someone who is bi, I would like to see more representation and fiction for people like myself because fandoms are so quick to erase bisexuality and pansexuality and criticize us when we speak up about it. So in this story, Cheryl is bi and she has broken up with her most recent girlfriend before meeting her next partner who is a man. And it’s fine.

If this upsets you, just swipe off of this post. Don’t leave mean comments or take digs at me because I’m not for any of this fandom infighting nonsense. It’s fiction and these characters can be whatever you want them to be in your stories.

However, if you don’t mind Cheryl liking both men and women, you don’t have an opinion either way, or your curious to see how this’ll pan out, stay tuned. I’d love to share this story with you. All are welcome so long as things stay civil and breezy.

So with that, I look forward to updating with the couple’s board and then the first chapter titlecard along with the chapter itself. Until then, stay lovely and stay groovy.💜

FIRE AND HEMLOCK READALONG

O I forbid you, maidens all That wear gold in your hair To come or go by Caterhaugh For young Tam Lin is there...

On OCTOBER 7TH, I will be starting my annual reread of Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones, and I want to turn it into a readalong/book club! I'll be reading a chapter a day, which will end on November 1st, and posting my recap as I go. I'm inviting anyone to join me, whether you've already read the book or want to discover it for the first time. (It should be fairly accessible on Libby, your local library, or an online archive if you're comfortable with downloading from those kinds of sites!)

My sales pitch for F&H:

Polly Whittacker has two sets of memories. In the first, things are boringly normal; in the second, her life is entangled with the mysterious, complicated cellist Thomas Lynn. One day, the second set of memories overpowers the first, and Polly knows something is very wrong. Someone has been trying to make her forget Tom - whose life, she realizes, is at supernatural risk. (from Amazon)

For fans of: slice of life, subtle magics, fae folk, the pains/joys of growing up, complex female characters, identity and memory, confusing but satisfying endings.

Warnings for: emotionally abusive family relationships, the central "romance" (?) can be problematic to some (but also that's a theme and something I love discussing), a confusing ending. Like really confusing.

I'll be tracking #fh readalong and the general #fire and hemlock tag if you want to join in. If so, I'll see you on October 7th!

11.33 Little Green Apples

Paul Stritch’s first episode. Not one of the more memorable short term characters, but interesting in terms of the conflict between old school cops and fast tracked graduates. (Amusing that Jack talks about how young he is, though. In his first guest episode, Simon Rouse was about 39, so we can assume Jack is a similar age, and he’s a rank above Paul at that point, so you’d assume he’d have made chief inspector at the same age as Paul, if not younger.)

Meanwhile, Nick is continuing along his merry path of cocking up at every given opportunity.

Riverdale, Ep.7x16

With only five episodes left, what fresh hell have they brought this week? Well, there's about four stories going on. One that was stupid, two that were...there but (reading some of the synopsis for some of the episodes) probably are going somewhere, and the last story...actually wasn't completely horrible.

So, the episode starts with Jason Blossom getting a stag film. Long story short, Veronica is going to host the film at her theater and invites Betty along so she isn't the only female there. However, as the film starts, Betty realizes the woman in the film is Polly and she ends up stopping the film.

And from there I'm going to break down the rest of the stories individually. Reggie and Archie keep buying stag films from Jason, but the first one turns out to be two men and the second one breaks. Archie comes to the realization that Kevin *might be* gay (sigh).  Archie and Reggie end up having a threesome with Twila Twist. And I don't care if they are actually in their twenties or this is the 1950s, that is an adult woman having sex with two sixteen year old boys. Archie and Reggie contemplate the sun rising and tell each other that that love each other. And I would say that they probably mean that in a more bro way then sexual, except as everyone is getting with everyone...

Meanwhile, Jughead is fighting the Comics Code. The history of the Comics Code is very real, very scary, and something people should probably brush up on considering some of the proposals law makers are making RIGHT NOW. Except, in this universe, the Code is created by four people in Riverdale and all of America just decided, fuck it, I guess. Anyway, Jughead looses his battle against the Fearsome Four. However, as he's telling Veronica his plight (he had asked for her advice earlier in the episode) at her apartment, well, it seems like their romance (or teenage hormones) might be rekindling. Are we about to have a triangle with Betty and Jughead fighting for Veronica, or did the show forget the whole Betty/Veronica universe kiss? I'm guessing option two.

Cheryl and Toni decide to take pictures based on some they saw in an underground Lesbian magazine. Of course, they're risque. And, even though they've been trying to lay low for two episodes...well, we only have five episodes left so, of course, Cheryl would decide to take one of the photos and create a very detailed painting from it. and leave it in her bedroom. Where her mother can just see it. And, of course, Penelope sees it and destroys it. So Cheryl wants to put her family in their place once and for all. Toni, earlier in the episode, mentioned the magazine takes photos and Cheryl wants the negatives, so I can guess where this is going.

Finally, going back to Betty. Betty contacts Polly and finds out her sister is a Burlesque performer and, according to Veronica, it seems that she is one of the most popular ones out there. She's basically Gypsy Rose Lee. Alice and Hal know about Polly's career and have cut her off. But, guess what? Polly, not being in that toxic hellhole, is thriving! She's happy, she's getting married, she's living her best life. And she convinces Betty that Betty can do the same. And finally we have the moment I have been waiting seven years for. Betty finally tells Alice that Alice is the reason why the family is falling apart (which kind of is a call back to the first season where Betty feels the responsibility to keep her family from falling apart), that Alice is a miserable person, that Betty is no longer going to let Alice control her life, and once she graduates high school, Betty is getting the hell away from Alice. Please, please writers, do not walk this back. Do one right thing before this show ends.
