i went to my first queer event by myself yesterday. not pride or school sponsored. not with friends. by myself. and it felt good. unlike online spaces no one asked for a queer card. we all just hung out and climbed cool shit (it was at a climbing gym).

i’m so happy to have experienced an irl queer meet up and am excited for more. (older) queer people are so right about getting off-line and into irl spaces with your (older) queer community and how important that is

Bike Lanes are White Lanes, Melody L. Hoffmann

The number of bicyclists are increasing in the United States, especially among the working class and people of color. In contrast to the demographics of bicyclists in the United States, advocacy for bicycling has focused mainly on the interests of white, upwardly mobile bicyclists, leading to neighborhood conflicts and accusations of racist planning. In Bike Lanes Are White Lanes, scholar Melody L. Hoffmann argues that the bicycle has varied cultural meaning as a "rolling signifier." That is, the bicycle's meaning changes in different spaces, with different people, and in different cultures. The rolling signification of the bicycle contributes to building community, influences gentrifying urban planning, and upholds systemic race and class barriers. In this study of three prominent U.S. cities--Milwaukee, Portland, and Minneapolis--Hoffmann examines how the burgeoning popularity of urban bicycling is trailed by systemic issues of racism, classism, and displacement. From a pro-cycling perspective, Bike Lanes Are White Lanes highlights many problematic aspects of urban bicycling culture and its advocacy as well as positive examples of people trying earnestly to bring their community together through bicycling

[readingrobot]

massive shout out and thank you to everyone who makes pride themed icons! esp when they include aspec flags! y'all are how aspecs can easily recognize eachother online on sites like youtube (it's so cool seeing another ace, aro, aroace, or aspec in youtube comments about something not aspec related).

[readingrobot]

that sweet sweet feeling when you realize that the book Ace by Angla Chen is supposed to be avalible from the library right around ace week and you still haven't started Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger so that means you'll have two ace books to read over ace week
