An extract from Sebastian, performed by me and Sam Jarman at the @queertheatreuk.bsky.social showcase in July.
Sebastian is a short play that I wrote, prompted by the early deaths of three close friends in 2022.

Why did y’all do this @moderation.bsky.app?

Y’all let folks randomly report us for speaking out against racism and antisemitism. Please fix this. It’s ridiculous.

People are added to lists and censored for defending themselves.

Hey @moderation.bsky.app

Do you guys also label leftist accounts that harass (primarily Black) Democrats or are you guys all leftists, too?

These labels are bogus and offensive.
It’s straight up anti Black targeted harassment and reporting. Here’s the admission. bsky.app/profile/icoo...

@support.bsky.team I am yet to hear your response from my appeal on your labeling my account for intolerance. And isn’t this targeted harassment and reporting??

Look @icookfood2023.bsky.social being labeled intolerant is ridiculous. What he's intolerant of is foolishness.
He and I are both Black men of a certain age and demeanor and neither of us are for the shit!!
Pull it together @bsky.app. Fix whatever major malfunction you're currently experiencing.

Read this and then read it again. Denying a Holocaust survivor a chance to share their story with young people is flat out antisemitism.

Good take..
So, Aftyn Behn lost. And, I want to be crystal clear, that was expected.

Mark Green won the seat by 21 points back in November, and Trump won the district by 22. This is one of, if not the reddest district in Tennessee. We’ve been doing REALLY well this year,

People’s antisemitism will not allow them to absorb that factual information. Nor this, in a normal world it should change one’s perspective to hold Hamas accountable.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

BS like this is why we now have a racist, fascist lunatic gutting the country. Attacking Democrats has become a sport for clicks.
Frankly, I'm sick of it. You want to continue helping the RKlan and MAGA? You need to take a silence seat. Periodt.

This time last year, I was on the South Lawn of the White House helping to lay out the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
This year the White House did nothing and the State Department instructed empoyees and grant recipients to “refrain from publicly promoting World Aids Day through any communication channels”
This morning I had the honor of helping lay out some panels of the #AIDS Memorial Quilt on the South Lawn of the White House. Seeing all these individual lives that were lost and knowing they are just a miniscule part of that great tapestry of loss is haunting.

The United States government had nothing to say to commemorate World AIDS Day, the first time the nation has withheld official recognition since the World Health Organization established the day in 1988. https://bit.ly/4ouze0S
