So this would be a great time for Irish-Americans to be loud as FUCK in their solidarity with other colonized peoples of the world. Ireland was a testing ground for British colonialism, methods used there were later replicated in India and all around the world. And there is no clearer demonstration of white identity being a bullshit construct than the transition of Irish-Americans from targets to perpetrators of discrimination, mostly through politics and law enforcement.

Most won't do it, though. Read Irish on the Inside and find some fuel for the fire.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Apparently I can't just scream into the fandom void anywhere (they look at you real funny at the Burger King drive through), so I'm back, after about 5 years, and largely against my better judgment.

And it's ALL about leftists who talk a big game about the revolution but won't do the most basic tasks to take care of their community, written by a leftist who was raised to be an evangelical Christian culture war general and did, in fact, reconsider.

One of my biggest fears is that I'm going to get accused of grooming the queer students who look up to me as a mentor. Because I know how important it is to have someone older who you can look to as proof that relatively happy, relatively stable queer futures can exist while you're trying to figure yourself out. My generation, and especially theater people of my generation, lost so many people who could have been our mentors to AIDS, so while it feels fucking bizarre to be considered an elder at 40, I don't take the importance of that role lightly. (I'm literally considering writing a zine about this exact thing.)

Having younger friends also helps keep us older queers from becoming too rigid. Generally speaking, it's a good thing! It's important to remember that power imbalances and differences in life experience exist so you can treat people appropriately, but the last thing I want is to get so scared of anyone getting the wrong idea that I close myself off from truly rewarding interactions.

Hilariously, the posters who were around for the first round of this garbage take are most likely in their late 20s or 30s themselves, so I wonder how they're feeling about it now.

once again thinking about the time I was On Here talking about the importance of intergenerational queer friendship and specifically how positively my life has been shaped by befriending and being mentored by a man 15 years my senior while I was in college, only for someone on here to have the audacity to tell me that mentorship wasn't real and I was just being groomed

and honestly the thing about it that's TRULY baffling to me isn't someone asserting that a complete strangers is a sex criminal of sometimes, because that's just bread and butter on here, but the very confident statement that mentorship??? isnt real???

This cup collection is the neurodivergent representation we deserve.

Lolol, doing it again because there's a strong chance this is my last week at this job and I wish it wasn't ending this way.

I have to put on a good face for the students and not let on that it's extra sad bitch hours.

I'm going to miss them so much, especially the two freshman technical theater Queenies who ask me for playlist links.

I have listened to "Save Me" so many times this week that I'm surprised Spotify hasn't sent me a pop-up that says "You seem to listen to this song a lot, are you ok?"
