Nearly all queer-media fans in recent years: We don't want stories where the main obstacle is homophobia/transphobia.
Now: Heated Rivalry becomes most popular queer show of the decade. Main obstacle is entirely homophobia (both in Russia and in professional sports).
I love HR. I'm not saying🧵

American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Me: After we're done watching Shogun [we have one episode left], we should watch Heated Rivalry as a palate cleanser. It's quite different. Feel-good.
Husband: Less death?
Me: A lot less death.
Husband: Fewer beheadings?
Me: I mean—it's hockey, so, a couple, but yeah, still fewer.

Incredibly there was a bit of colour in between the rain this morning. Photo taken from St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor at about sunrise time. This weather really is testing my patience though 😂

In the interests of adding more queer-joy books to your local library, will you please go to your library's website and find the "suggest a title" or "recommend a title" page, and request that they carry my upcoming book The Quicksand Theatre Company? 🧵

Was listening to a Be the Serpent podcast episode from a few years ago, and hosts @alexandrarowland.bsky.social, @freyamarske.bsky.social, and Jennifer Mace were saying that in #TheUntamed, the cinematography tricks make you kind of hallucinate the WangXian kisses, despite the censorship.

Scroll about halfway down to find the interface where you can see the locations of ICE operations centers in your community. Seattle—these Temu Stormtroopers either are already or soon will be operating out of Riverfront Technical Park in Tukwila. We should pay them a visit soon.
