First photo posts on Bluesky - in honor of all the fundraising going on for the LA fires, I thought I'd debut with some never seen images from a fire benefit for @mountaindeena.bsky.social way back in 2000. I think this is at El Rio, but I was drunk as usual back then so I'm probably wrong

Welcome to RetroQueerSF, 20+ years of photos from my escapades in SFs queer nightlife, afterparties, street fairs, Pride, Folsom, drag trips to Reno, and assorted other debauchery.

I’ll be posting as my health allows, and the images will be where-ever my whims take me.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

The Next Step In Trans Genocide Was Just Taken. Are You Paying Attention Yet?

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

The silver lining for me today is that perhaps people are enraged by the way this has been handled. It's been infuriating & I think Nancy and I feel less alone in all this. We knew of their ineptitude but this CCTV thing is ridiculous. Spoke with @sfchronicle.com

To get the London Police to take more action has been something Nancy and I have been pushing for since the tragedy began. Why has it taken this long? There is so much more to this story that will have to be told.

First images will post on Feb 1st: fucking believe it or not I still somehow have 1000’s(!!) of never seen & unscanned prints lying around 😬
