A motif that is still semi-common in my stress dreams is finding that i have dvds or games that i rented from blockbuster and forgot to return...like a decade after most video rental stores shut down 😅
Don't mind me, jusy being gay and working in public today with my favorite new tank top ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️
(Note: the picture on the top us from "Harley Quinn: Welcome to Metropolis" when her and Ivy took over a condo in Metropolis after fleeing Gotham and made an adorable little home for themselves in the city)
Also, as I have given my bisexuality time to simmer, I've started to realize that my attraction to guys is very very specific: twinks that look like dykes that are brooding sad boys 😅
If I have any such bi/pan twinks that look like dykes in SoCal among my followers...um...you're allowed to slip into my DMs and say hi 😏
Heh interesting. I've never had this kind of confusion because I'm not attracted to women. But did I absolutely want to be the yellow ranger and the pink ranger? Yes yes yes.
Ugh, i've been having more stress dreams/nightmares that involve awful transphobia being done to me. But I rarely encounter transphobia like that in my day to day life, so i don't even know why my brain goes there. Best guess: brain is trying to prepare for future feared transphobia by playing out scenarios or my brain has just internalized it fully as a stressor to manifest when processing stress...ugh
It's about time that I got in on #MusicWomenWednesday (with @loewe ) and share the most recent band I've been obsessed with.
Artist: Bridge City Sinners (Frontperson: Libby, she/they)
Why? Describing this as "dark neofolk" doesn't really describe how they bring together diverse styles of vocals and instrumentation that pull both from metal and the dark sides of country and folk. Not to mention some of the songs really speak to those of us living with mental illness or otherwise on the margins.
Where to start?
"Devil Like You" cemented by obsession, telling the story of a murder most foul with just an earworm of a haunting chorus
We get 2, count them TWO, whole months of Pride! North county and easy county do most of their events in June, while San Diego city itself does the pride march in July. One-sixth of our year is unbridled gayness!
If you are queer and you ask nicely, or naughtily, you can kiss me! 😘😘😘
I'll even throw in the gayest of hugs and snuggles as a freebie 🫂🌈✨️
...we are literally rated as the most unaffordable city in the US and every politician has been actively gaslighting us and exacerbating the homelessness crisis. So um....okay, that sucks... 🫤
It is three days into Pride and the only girls i've kissed are my wife and my puppy. How am i supposed to be celebrating lesbianism under thess conditions?!
Are there any girls in SoCal looking dor sapphic smooches? 😁😘
Is it just me or does it actually seem like corporations are afraid to do a Rainbow Capitalism this year?
Maybe it's just because Pride started on a Saturday, but I'm noticing far fewer featured pride product lines, sales, etc. than the past several years. Last year, Target started to retreat and hide away Pride merch or just take it out of their stores altogether in some places. But other companies that would usually do a little email announcing the sale of Pride merch or something are either not doing it or are actually making it hard to find and featuring other sales instead.
Maybe it's too early and they are planning it over the next few weeks...it just seems conspicuous. I'm gonna circle back around to this after the month goes on because this could actually be an important thermometer on the state of things in some circles
@JoscelynTransient After interviewing for the Executive Director position for that one queer organization that I told you about privately, this is one of the major concerns they've been having and that they were sharing. I haven't verified it elsewhere, but from what they told me, they lost like half their donations within the previous year because giving has been way down across all not for profits in the US, especially from the corporate sector, and especially toward queer organizations. Like I said, I haven't verified it elsewhere, but it did seem to hold weight and is a bit worrisome to consider.
One of my favorite things about my work - all the queer kids in San Diego are starting to recognize me, get excited and say hi, and then I make custom buttons with them or listen to them infodump about their favorite things. 10 outta 10, would apply for this job again 🥰
