We have to protect #LGBTQ media. If anything demonstrates this, it's what my friend @hamishsteele.bsky.social has been dealing with recently. LGBTQ+ media allows spaces for us to exist when we face minimization/erasure at numerous junctures these days.

I pull up to the coffee shop and the barista flips out after seeing my car. They were a big fan.

The dorsal plates look great. But because of the way I have the magnets positioned, they wobble when I go over 40 to 45 mph.

I wrote this poem back in August - but it feels very fitting for the times we're in. This is "The American Influencer."
