Clearly you need to host the next club meeting 😂

A man carries a coffin with a skull on the front and spray painted on the side "we're here we're queer we hate the fucking president"

ACT UP, 1990

I didn’t see this, I didn’t log in for a long time 😅

I’ll have to look for her shows! ❤️

Would Sakura like Pizza Hut XD

Wouldn’t a vampire fake his own death periodically? 😅

Man mystery solved, my mom brought home a massive poinsettia without me noticing and the jerks nibbled the leaves, which was enough to make them both REALLY miserable for a day but at least did no lasting harm!

Two cats being violently ill out both ends for no apparent reason, I don’t know at what point we need to go to the emergency vet and a $500 bill would not be easy to swing right now 😑

Working on a Sunday with three brats snoozing on the comforter next to me 😴 The dog is snoring so loud I always worry about people hearing her over the phone 🐶

I still don’t like having my picture taken (and the political dimension is something else entirely), but we have to be able to take up space in the word, sometimes quite literally. I did boudoir photos once with a lesbian photographer and it was amazing to be able to take that back in private.

realized sooner that there’s ways to separate your self-image from pure enjoyment of aesthetics- lipstick doesn’t care what size you are and pretty dresses are special no matter what. For me, anyway. It’s an awful enough world and it was important for me to reclaim beauty.

I know this doesn’t always help but also you’re a very cute girl ❤️ I spent a decade with an eating disorder and a completely warped self-image that only got worse when illness drastically changed my body, and then there’s the awful state of the world on top of it. But personally I wish I had

I’m shocked that terrible people are terrible 😑

Cannoli pancakes 😊

SO MANY QUESTIONS

My favorite 4am feeling is a racing heart because I heard clattering against the outside door and thought it was a burglar, and turned out to be the cat trapped behind heavy furniture squeaking for all she’s worth and having to call my father at 35yo to come rescue my idiot cat

My yearly stressful conversations with the cemetery where my friend is buried took a turn for both the absurd AND macabre today when they called while I was deboning chicken for dog food and I had to run get documents while covered in chicken guts and chased by a dog

Much like the French, Japanese people are usually disproportionately delighted by someone trying their best 🤷‍♀️ and then immediately go find you a nearby English speaker so it helps

It’s cheap - you don’t have to use the minutes on your cellphone plan, especially for international calls…

I have to use WhatsApp for people in El Salvador, it’s annoying 😅

Two jerks sleeping while I’m working 😂

If you don’t know why Substack should not be supported, they directly fund many of the most hateful leaders of the attacks on trans people, and their CEO explicitly refuses to stop people who spread white supremacy on the platform. www.tiktok.com/@decoderpod/video/722160...

Thank you @melissagiragrant.com for documenting the ways anti-library activism is anti-queer too.

We were going to go to a movie for the first time post-pandemic until we saw tickets were $20/pp JFC

Amazing bit of publishing history! ❤️

My wife gave me a Valentines card this year that said “history would have called us roommates,’” but failed to specify that included this century 😅 I am certainly happy that things have changed but Astreiant itself keeps on!

I was delighted to receive a signed 1st Ed. copy of Point of Dreams (2001), by @blueterraplane.bsky.social , but was momentarily taken aback by a live-in boyfriend being described on the book jacket as a “close friend,” good lord 🤨

Minamoto Kitchoan in midtown. They’re expensive but delicious https://www.kitchoan.com/

The only solution I found to this problem was to get an expensive private doctor who had enough administrative staff to do the work for me

Ordering wagashi for Sakura Party 🌸

Said it before, and I'll say it again: even if COVID magically vanished, I'd mask in stores to dodge colds and flus. If I'd known that was an option, I'd have been masking inside for decades.

Colds fucking suck! Why are so many people fans of being sick?
