How Do I Talk To Other Gay People Without Sounding Like A Creep Or An Asshole?

hey so cool stuff there was an infrastructure attack in my home state with the intent of shutting down a (private, ticketed, adults only) drag event.

here's my initial coverage of it.

here's a twitter thread explaining what is being investigated.

proud boys in NC stated repeatedly they weren't going to protest this event due to it being adults only. but their telegram went fully silent yesterday evening after celebrating a drag event cancelation in ohio.

an email from a person to me states "According to Southern Pines/Aberdeen residents, break-ins to banks, gas stations, local Walmart’s, and family stores have begun across town."

so. keep the NC LGBTQ community in your thoughts right now. this is an act of terrorism.

So apparently, even literal neonazis are agreeing with Israel's whole agenda of genocide and colonization. Like, full out making articles and saying "so true bestie" to actual fucking murderers, rapists, and war criminals violating every single one of these Palestinian peoples' human rights! It's fucking sick and evil!

And to whoever hears this and tries to cry antisemitism, fuck you. I'm not persecuting religion; and no, Judaism doesn't have a practice where you oppress and massacre an entire country, because you feel entitled to, either!

To any Palestinian folks out there, I am so fucking sorry how fucked up it is out there, and as a north american, it pains me to see and hear how my country is allowing your people's lives to be crushed, and even participating in it, how your homes are being decimated, and how Israel steals and tries to sell your land as if it's theirs to do so.

In short, and this goes to every country like the Congo, or Syria, or Sudan, who are experiencing all this and more, I'm so fucking sorry.

Go vote, sign petitions, donate to charity, and even fucking protest!

#the entire city of Prague. Slay I guess.

Fuck it. Unhinged smash or pass. Spin the wheel.

i'm AWARE this is a stupid hill to die on, but like. trope vs theme vs cliché vs motif vs archetype MATTERS. it matters to Me and i will die on this hill no matter how much others decide it's pointless. words mean things

gamecube was the best designed controller of all time exclusively for the button cluster that gave you easy thumb roll access to all buttons but also gave you the a button as a thumb rest (because it’s the one you press the most) and took into account the frequency with which each button gets pressed in its design rather than doing the stupid diamond design that gives no button priority and rests your thumb in the shitty blank space between buttons

tell me why this budgetless gay youtube series made for fun by a group of friends has the best editing and writing of anything i’ve watched in a year.

also tell me how this single scene can contain every single one of the top three most iconic lines in history.

I am in direct contact with the people behind the Ban Conversion 'Therapy' campaign in EU and we would really like to reach the threshold in a couple central/eastern European countries (e.g. Poland 🇵🇱, Czechia 🇨🇿, Hungary 🇭🇺, Romania 🇷🇴, Bulgaria 🇧🇬, Slovakia 🇸🇰) but due to the language barrier it is a bit harder. These countries can sometimes be more conservative so them reaching the signature threshold carries a lot weight! 

We don’t know how (where) to reach these countries effectively! ~12 years ago I was on https://www.interpals.net where you can chat with people from all over the world, it still looks to be active so we can campaign there BUT, we would love to receive more ideas how to reach people from the above countries.

Don’t forget to share the campaign (actively messaging/asking friends is by far the most effective method!!)
