#Queer#Portugal
in an effort to share some of the entrails of my mind this is what kept my brain running last night when I really oughta been asleep:

Christchurch could use a queer bar. Taking that idea, and leveraging the wonderful name of a queer bar in Porto, Portugal we went to, I started naming theme nights

This weekend, I intend on casting my vote for António José Seguro to be the next President of the Portuguese Republic.

Across the world, far-right parties are looking to push an illiberal ideology that threatens the rights of workers, queer folks, and immigrants. Portugal is no exception. (1/2)

This. Meta is an unfortunate necessity for queer survival in Portugal. Meta is infrastructure.

I demonetized my newsletter amidst the Substackers Against Nazis bruhahah. Lost my only source of income b/c it turns out people will not just tip on Ko-fi instead. The black & white thinking is heinous.
i am extremely committed to the cause. i am not convinced that "deliberately fucking up my only sources of income" is the "fuck you" to Meta that yall want it to be

I’ve heard many people mention Thailand. I’ve thought about countryside France, Berlin, Ireland, Portugal. Though Europe is hardly better than U.S.

I would love to live in motherland Africa but I don’t know any queer people that are safe in any of the countries I’ve considered. It makes me so sad.
Where are you looking at going? I have my eye on Thailand right now but I'm open to other considerations.

Lmaooo I know x) we need more gay/queer men everywhere and of all ages!! I also think that being in Portugal could've been a big factor since it's literally them throwing the film over the border XD but it's so so so good ♡ totally watch it when you can ♡

Nope, fled one state to another state and it wasn't any better. So then I fled the country with my queer and trans family. Not affluent. Disabled and unemployed and living in Portugal for over a year now.

Apparently Spain and/or Portugal have gotten somewhat better about LGBTQ rights also. A friend with better savings and a queer kid was looking at either one of those

Spain & Portugal accept the queer/trans community as just one part of a total diverse community of races & cultures who just get on with life as a sum of the total parts of that community.

To all the London queer ppl here...I can't recommend this enough.
Fado Bicha is one of the most important musical projects from Portugal right now. They dared to queer the traditional fado and revolutionised it. Tomorrow they play at Portuguese Love Affair. You should go.

Já com datas de estreia em Portugal e no Brasil, o filme está longe de funcionar como uma provocação vazia, Pillion constrói-se, sim, como um retrato íntimo de relação, poder e pertença.

Pillion: Desejo queer, kink e a recusa da normalização no grande ecrã 🎬🌈
Pillion: Desejo queer, kink e a recusa da normalização no grande ecrã
Pillion estreia a 6 de março em Portugal, depois de chegar ao Brasil a 12 de fevereiro. Realizado por Harry Lighton, o filme propõe algo ainda pouco comum no cinema queer contemporâneo: uma representação frontal, não mediada e não moralizante do desejo BDSM entre homens. Mas longe de funcionar como provocação vazia, Pillion constrói-se como um retrato íntimo de relação, poder e pertença.

You know you're still a nomad when after two years settled in your own flat and in a pretty sedentary mode, everything you possess fit inside 3 pieces of luggage 😂 though, I remember a time when I moved from one country to another with just a 50l backpack 😅
But, Books and crafts supplies....
