the whole gamut of faggotry

Tove Jansson and lover and collaborator Tuulikki Pietilä on their tiny rocky island of Klovharu where they spent their summers over many decades, 1955.

i remember when this was always framed as ‘Jansson and her friend’ everywhere: in finnish media, my school books etc. (because she was the moomin lady, she had to be mentioned in our lit/finnish lessons)

some gal pals, living together for forty years, just friendship things~
