The guy who says “the future of city living” should be president
modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

I've added the full comic to my Patreon, along with a little bit of Process Chat and some thoughts on the phrases I used within it - semi-autobiographical, as always, touching on my time as a religious child, seeing a UFO the other night, and owning a dog.

if it seems a bit strange to you that an ostensibly ‘feminist’ organisation should be campaigning against free period products, I’d invite you to consider where said organisation is getting its funding and whose views it’s set up to promote
