Lee! GREAT BOOBS.
I am officially in "fuck I have to pick a new dentist" land and "fuck, it's been so LONG" land. Props to you for being a grownup, Tom, and for having good results to boot.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

TJs has brought back the pumpkin macarons for the season.
Oh man, I love these so much. I was just there on Tuesday, and they had some pumpkin stuff (I snagged some pumpkin Greek yogurt), but I didn't see the macarons. Must get.

That's not her question--do they get to demonstrate comparable affection and sexual attraction to each other? That's the neutering she's frustrated by, and why she goes to South America (virtually) for more orientation-balanced entertainment.
None of the couples on Modern Family are really all that demonstrably affectionate, but from the episodes I've seen (my parents like the show, so I end up watching it whenever I'm visiting them), the gay couple shows about as much affection as the others. A quick kiss on the lips when one of them leaves or comes home, holding hands while sitting on the couch, stuff like that.

The couple on The Fosters has been shown more sexually, though still not a ton, because it's still ultimately a show about the kids, and they're the parents.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My last day of work is September 30. My idiot manager's last day of work is also September 30. They're making her do people's annual reviews before she leaves. I declined the meeting, because I am leaving and there's no point in an annual review.
She just called my work number, and I missed the call. Odds that she wanted to know why I didn't attend the meeting?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There were complaints mid-season that they were being short-shrifted, but I think mid-season is too soon to decide, and I think they got similar levels of intimacy to all of the other couples on the show.
(Teen wolf) There was one M/M scene in the last few eps that I think was just as/more explicit than most of the het sex scenes on the show.
Though maybe I was just paying more attention.

And I just got another meeting request. I'm not doing an annual review YOU CAN'T MAKE ME.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Quick somebody! Warn me not to get into an argument that lumping "over-stayed visa" and "denied asylum after legally allowed into this country" in with illegal "hopped over the fence" immigrants is not only stupid but completely beside the point.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
There's only one romantic couple on the poster, though. The body language of the m/m couple is familial fighting. That's what I read. There's no sexual implication in it, phobic or philic. Given that one of the people on the poster is an out gay man-- who is raising a child-- it's a stretch to see that NBC is indicating how gross gayness is.
