Flying back from Winnipeg and I’m watching “Trick” for the first time since college. It’s a remarkable charmer and a perfect period piece.

Still weird to see the World Trade Center.

Yes, Spotify, “Niche 90s lesbian rock” the perfect playlist while I’m at the Winnipeg airport.

Grateful for the conversation at the Ruby Sachs Symposium on National Security and the Law.

Accountability makes inclusion durable — and transparency keeps trust alive. 🌈

Honored to spend time with friends and partners at the Ruby Sachs Symposium in Winnipeg.

The most meaningful work often happens between sessions — over dinner, in conversation, and through shared purpose. 🌈

Full and equal citizenship is the measure of every democracy. It is built through daily effort and defended through shared commitment, courage, and care.

I recently spoke with @amgerinst.bsky.social’s “Building LGBTQ+ Communities in Germany & the United States” fellows about life in public service, the work of @outinnationalsecurity.org , and how both countries have fitfully advanced full and equal citizenship within national security institutions.

This past Friday marked 35 years of German unity, a reminder that even the deepest divisions can heal through sustained democratic will and care for one another.

Truly one of the wildest LinkedIn updates of our current age is "I'm running for Congress."

Queer Hand Luke @lfschleusener.bsky.social · 3d

…I appreciate you confirming the accuracy AND the read.

Queer Hand Luke @lfschleusener.bsky.social · 3d

Do you ever think about how “Hacks” is a very logical sequel to “Maisel” that ASP could not tolerate or write?

Queer Hand Luke @lfschleusener.bsky.social · 5d

Now that “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is over, will Amazon finally let someone adapt various Joan Rivers biographies into a long running miniseries?

Just saw these stills from Akira Kurosawa's High and Low and said "Good heavens" out loud.

Man peering out of a bed of flowers with a reflection shining back from his glasses.

Back facing shot of a man watching sail boats from behind a fence.

Silhouette of a man pulling a gun on another man as he looks at the backdrop of the mountains

Mustached man gripping his briefcase tightly, face scrunched up in a scowl, as he rides in a filled passenger car.
