you don't get to whine that "we lost our queer elders" because you don't like those of us who are left. (unless they're famous, of course.)

we went through hell, you know nothing about it, because you are literally erasing us. you think you're the first to do that to my generation of queers? ha

"We lost an entire generation of queer elders and with them went so much history."

1. we're not all dead and
2. many of us were at those bedsides.

the number of times I have had to hear younger queers say the above who do not bother with those of us still alive is more than enough to "nope out"

but you did not.

the women & enby & transmen are here and never abandoned anyone. at least I didn't.

at this point, I feel like younger people absolutely hate me. I deal with scary agism constantly, & nothing I did was enough. (& I did quite a bit.)

I'm tired of being made dead before I'm dead.

💙 I'm sorry, Anya.

(btw, this is on sale today for $12. they do sales like this pretty frequently but this one ends today. (worth perusing if you are at all interested. @rruth.bsky.social)

I know this doesn't really have to do with your bad day to be a hot dog hat but I ended with with my brain on the theme anyway: (if only the dog was at Costco.)
