Watching Plainclothes in a small town theater with writer/director Carmen Emmi and cinematographer Ethan Palmer—surrounded by an audience filled with queer people who had lived through this time period—really made this film sing. [ 1/3 ]

Today is Marsha P. Johnson’s 80th birthday. It’s a travesty she is not here so we must keep her memory alive.

This ad takeover was created by Suriani in 2019. The poster was part of the Art In Ad Places pride series curated by @dustyrebel.bsky.social to mark Stonewall 50. #queerart #queersky

Dottie, Queen of the Chickens died of old age yesterday. She's lived on our property years before we did and was boss of the run. (Despite being challenged by a younger hen!) Gonna miss that sweet girl! #chickensky

30 years since Lollapalooza '95. No phones, yet we could find each other. Horrid heatwave. Courtney Love demanded the water canons—screaming, "I'll pay your fucking water bill!"

At Stage 3 Maggie Estep says, "I don't know about you, but I'm going over to Stage 2 to see Patti Smith." And so we did.

Glenn Burke, the first openly gay baseball player, invented the high five. "The very first recorded high five took place on October 2, 1977...Liking the feel-good gesture, Burke started to high-five gay friends in San Francisco’s Castro district, and it quickly became a gay signifier" #gayhistory
The first openly gay baseball player also invented the high five

@sachacoward.bsky.social videos are worth a look. What's happening to authors working with Unbound is terrible and highlights the depressing the state of publishing in general.

We need to a healthier media landscape because the world is not only in need of diverse voices, there's a demand for it!
