1 - There is no era of the Queer Community in the last half century that would have uncritically praised and embraced this book. Every era would have found issues with it and I think the issues people would have with it today would be different to the ones they had in 1978

Is part of this down to the different media environments?
Like reading Futures of Socialism this summer, it's striking how vibrant the space was in the 80s (even if most of it was unsuccessful).
There was still some space in the 2010s but now, where do people even have these conversations?

This is how Starmer's Labour Party moves.
It's first instinct is always the wrong one, and then, after endless badgering, they will move to the position everyone said they should be doing in the first place, but crucially, Starmer's Labour never actually learns from this.

I always have the same dream.
I'm walking down a dark alleyway and blocking my path is the Ed Stone. I throw a bottle at it and it shatters against the stone surface. Then it lunges for me.
I wake up in a cold sweat. I go to make my coffee. I look at the mug in my hand. I can't stop screaming.

But also Zarah is basically correct right?
