The #TitsOut tour for @kesharose.bsky.social at #MSG was spectacular. 10/10 she truly is in her element. And it was the first time in my life I was hit on by a stranger in public! I can cross that off my bucket list now.

I'm seeing Kesha in concert in NYC on July 23rd, and I'm so ready. I was front row for her Only Love tour two years ago, and I'm ready to be surrounded by people with good taste again 😎

I also think twink has the connotation of that feminine, gossipy, superficial gay. Which is, of course, sexist as those are commonly negstive stereotypes of woman. Thougu that is a long conversation with much nuance that connot be properly explained in a skeet

My phone's autocorrect thinks twink should be spelled with a capital T.

I'm holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity while also defying gravity in case you were wondering

Shirtless me on a pole posing like a spinning ballerina from a song cube. Metaphorically speaking, I am holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity while defying gravity.

I know you said one, but these two compliment each other sososo well. They feel like the yin to the other's yang. Rainbow is light and beautiful with a little bit of darkness, and Gag Order is dark, powerful, with a tinge of hope. No notes.

To her left and right are black panels dipicting the galexy also getting smaller as they approch the center. There's also a green dripping eyeball floating in a right black panel.

Meta's (Instagram, Facebook, Threads) Community Standards state that hate speech, including insulting someone's mental capacity or intelligence, is banned unless you are targeting LGBTQ+ folk. The United States is entering some dark times. Hug your friends.

transparency.meta.com/policies/com...

Meta's Conduct Code states "We define hateful conduct as direct attacks against people — rather than concepts or institutions — on the basis of what we call protected characteristics (PCs): race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, and serious disease."

Meta's Code of Conduct states you are not allowed to discriminate against "[m]ental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”"

Bloomfs, I'm reentering the dating world and wanna make sure I'm not missing any mistakes, red flags, or other flubs. What do y'all think?

Not Google calling me single 🫠 I'm just focussing on myself and my career...

I'm proud of these Instagram stories. Put a lot of effort into making them aesthetically pleasing, though I wish the background song stayed when I saved it. My Instagram handle is @dylanbadillo, and here's the song on Spotify

I saw Ashley Gavin with some friends last night. She was hilarious. Her opener Jamie W was also hilarious. Never have I been in a room full of so many horny queer women. It was definitely an experience.
