Jem Queer Poet - La ! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ They/them
@jemthewriter.bsky.social
Queer poet, performer, idealist, reader; fuelled by gin, conversation, dancing and coffee. Lifelong socialist, humanist and vegetarian, puritans really get on my nerves. Non-binary, probably nsfw, I adore France and India.

Homophobia, racism and sexism within the first eight minutes of the kick off. Football is so delightful.

Managed to piss a trio of freedom loving racists off to the point they abandoned their drinks and stormed out of the pub. My day is complete

Today the aim is to sit in the sun with a pint and get to a quarter of the way through editing this. I find editing so much more of a chore than writing though

Before I decamped, I used to do a lot of #FM24 posts. I sort of miss, virtually the only thing, that community. If you were there, same save, now in 2056, still enjoying it, still creating a rich world.

@tuftyclub.bsky.social gaseous update welcomed, reminded me when I was teaching, at those moments, I'd move closer to a student who annoyed me and leave it drifting in the ether, theirs to deal with the consequences

The absolute and utter fucking nonsense that this post, of traditional published book covers, should be deemed by some tedious tosspot to include "suggestive content". People like that shouldn't be allowed to interact with the modern world, just be dropped in a dark oubliette and forgotten

Struggling with finding pleasure in the world right now, I always do because reasons; I need new things, freshness, exacerbated by the miserable weather...
Suggesting things I liked last year doesn't help - although it makes sense - because they're old, I've moved on, but I don't know what to

First book of 2025 finished, an utterly glorious fictional trans memoir - In Our City by Hazel Jane Plante. Absolutely loved it, the bar is high due the next book.

If I was the owner of a social media empire, faced with the threat of a dangerous dictatorial ulcer, I'd be moving my operations off to Germany, or Canada, Ireland... Not rolling over and lobbing money at him.

After Tuesday's absolute bullshit homophobic nonsense, I seriously don't want to go to the football tomorrow, but then they've won, so I'll gird my loins, don as many rainbows as I own and go.

I've spent 47 years getting some form of abuse for my sexuality, it's part of the reason I'm so bloody minded about being myself, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with or less upsetting every single time.

Still, that was fun. A pleasant evening of homophobia and being told to fuck off. And people wonder why queer people don't feel welcome at football
