rest in light, beloved Pope Francis 😔
Your compassion and kindness to the queer community renewed our faith. We have lost an ally, a friend, a beloved father of the Church.
thank you for seeing and valuing us queer people. 🌈🙏

"Of course, the principle of ‘equality’ is complex and multi-faceted and, as with other principles or high-level concepts, it really depends what you mean by it."
Equality: NZ’s highest principle or socialist delusion?
From the University of Auckland - Opinion: It pays not to leap to support ‘equality’ without first asking who it will apply to, who benefits and who doesn’t, argues Avril Bell.

We aren’t going anywhere.
We remain steadfast, strong, and supportive of our queer communities.
No corrupt government can invalidate us.
No politician can dehumanise us.
We are here, we are queer, we matter. ✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈

I realised my methodology chapter is so exhaustive that I can actually produce two journal articles with it.
Lodge that onto my 2026 list of projects. 🌈

Typed in the last period.
Looked up and saw photos of Mommy 💜 Daddy smiling back at me.
I have never felt such a profound sense of gratitude and sadness at the same time.

I must be high. 🤣😂😭😵‍💫

💄 The age-old masc vs femme discourse

This Queer Gaze was published in April 2024.

Falling somewhere in between stereotypically masc and femme (according to TikTok), Natalie Binns questioned whether she was ‘queer enough’
