On the left, the title THE DRAGNIFICENT SEVEN is written, with the text angled vertically. To the right is a 9 square moodboard. In the four corners are images of drag queens.  Top middle is an image of an LGBTQ+ rights protest in black and white. Bottom middle is a picture of a piece of colourful modern art. Middle left is a road map with a magnifying glass and set of car keys resting on top. Middle right is an image of a young man with medium length hair walking through a city at night. In the centre is a pile of newspaper cuttings with the words 'are the dragnificent seven back?" written over the top in a fake headline style. On the right hand side and acting as a background image, is a drag queen waiting in the wings.
If you use a screen reader or rely on alt text, I always aim to make picture posts as inclusive as possible. If I can improve in any way to make my posts more accessible to you, please do reach out and I will take your feedback on board for future posts.

When a spacecraft crashes on a planet with a poisoned atmosphere, Thea and her team have ten days to find it before it's too late for possible survivors. It should be an easy mission, but the monsters she faces are not all from her planet's ecosystem.

She hated gym class, scary stories, green beans, and movies where the female love interest never got any of the good lines. She didn’t have a lot of friends, but sometimes, in group settings, she had the satisfaction of saying something really funny, usually on purpose.

“If you’re scared, I’ll do it with you,” Milo said. He said it as though it were the most natural thing in the world. When Edie looked at him, he was holding out his hand, and watching her with a sincerity she didn’t think she’d ever seen on anyone’s face. If it had been anyone else, at any other time, she would have thought they were making fun of her; but not Milo.

They just collect there, stuck inside of you. I think they say grief makes a hole inside of you because we’re all too scared to see what’s inside of it.”

Sixteen-year-old Candy has been hiding her unique ability to shift between male and female her whole life, now she has the government hunting her for the one thing she can't hide, her skin color.
After a new discovery is made public that only those with pure red skin can survive another onset of catastrophie climate change, Candy, a pure red, embarks on a journey to find her birth parents hoping they can help her understand how to better control her ability so she can stay a girl and avoid spending her adolescence as a science experiment.

If I stare at my bowl of dried crickets long enough, perhaps they'II come back to life and write this useless essay for me. Though, not sure what the cricket population would have to say about the experience of being a pure red girl. I
guess I'll just have to write this myself. For the fifth year in a row. Seriously, teachers need to think of another way to showcase the anniversary of The Great Coloring. Why must we always write about why our skin color makes us special?
I dread this moment every year. No matter the school I'm at. No matter the friends I've made in the short time I've graced them with my presence. It
always sucks to stand up in front of a class full of secondary colors to spout off
the many reasons I love being the only pure red in the school. Why I love being the only one here whose lineage can be traced all the way back to that special time in our history. The one color everyone else collectively hates.
