I swear he does at the 4:46 mark

This is the moment when we recognize that culture is made on BlueSky

She’s such an icon!

She stirred my soul in ways I didn’t know were possible!

There are no words for what seeing Wicked last night meant to me. I was fully weeping during Defying Gravity. My existence was queer theory going into the theater and queer praxis coming out of it.

These COVID naps are something else. When they come on I feel so zapped that I’m not even on the plane of the living once I knock out. This is like some other kind of sleep that Ambien could never provide.

Omg I just found out that my eligible payments toward public service loan forgiveness went up from 10 out of 120 months to 85 of 120 months. I am the happiest COVID-riddled boy today!!!! 😭 😭 😭
