ICE are a travesty. Insurrectionists with ski masks.

Using white villains, criminals, and lowlifes as an authority in an immigration context crystallizes conservative America.

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

–Tarantino’s Incarnational Theology: Reservoir Dogs, Crucifixions, and Spectacular Violence. Kent L. Brintnall.

Nothing shuts down a bougie conversation like "well, when I was homeless—" Nothing. It's one and done. They are fucking taken out. The conversation is dead. Done.

if you’re a baby trans and you haven’t started smoking cigarettes or vaping yet don’t. it’s actually not that hot or interesting. It will just cause you ungodly frustrations and suffering and cost you a bunch of money and be next to impossible to quit

Queer Adulting Podcast, Episode 4 (NAGLY): "Taking Up Queer Space"

I’m on a podcast!

I know I haven’t been on here much lately but I’m still around. Just super busy with adult life. But I hope you’ll take a minute (or 38) to listen to this episode of Queer Adulting where I talk about taking up space as a bisexual/pansexual. 

This is obviously a really important subject to me and I hope it helps someone out there or even just starts an important conversation.

Here’s the much more eloquent Youtube description:

In this powerful episode of the Queer Adulting Podcast, host Adam (they/them) sits down with fellow NAGLY adult advisor Jennifer (they/them) for an honest conversation about belonging, queer identity, and the complex journey of claiming space in both queer and heteronormative worlds. 🌈

Jennifer shares their personal experience growing up bisexual in a time before queer youth spaces were accessible—and how biphobia, erasure, and exclusion pushed them away from the very community they longed to be a part of. From confronting "not queer enough" narratives to championing evolving identities, this episode is a rallying cry for all who’ve ever felt on the margins: You belong.

✨ Topics include: Biphobia & erasure within the queer community Changing identities & why phases are okay What true belonging looks like in queer and straight spaces Advice for young queer people navigating identity and community
