I don’t know that there is a part of Queer culture that I vibe with. I watch a lot of the easy to digest RuPaul shows but that’s not really vibing so much as passively consuming. Same with queer music, and to be honest I’m not sure I’m a huge consumer of Queer music. I … Read More
That was the prompt for today so, it’s a bit out of date but I really like this picture of us all making a firepit over at The Cave.
Interacting with the Queer Community. Some part of me still thinks I’m an awkward nerdy teenager still trying to figure out what it was that made her weird, and doing that in the middle of nowhere. I had no queer community when I was figuring out that I was queer. I mean it was hard … Read More
Well currently I’ve decorated for virtual Pride so we have more bunting than usual. Usually though we have a couple of pride flags on various shelves tucked into ornaments. I have a whole lot of stickers on my computer saying such intellectual things as “Spill the Tea”, ” Reading is Fundamental” and “Miss Vanjie”. I … Read More
Well, that’s it. I have made it through my first Father’s Day without Dad. No phonecall home asking him how his beer was or to tell him that it was also the Summer Solstice today and some vaguely pagan words and vague descriptions of the Litha ritual I did. To be honest I think that’s … Read More
Phew. Queer Space. Queer Space. It’s been a while since I was on Canal Street which will always feel like my home gaytown but is by no means my favourite Queer Space. My first gay bar was The Albert with it’s Pride Flag and Drag DJ on a Friday… lets not dredge up the horror … Read More

I mean, I’ve said to a lot of Younger Millenials, Zoomers and whatever we’re calling the generation between them…there is one right? No? Just Millenials and then Zoomers and because I’m only just a Millenial I think that there seems like there’s another one? Right, gotcha. Anyway I’ve said that I hope they get to … Read More
Oooooh boy. So, Lancaster reached a milestone last year in that not only did we have a Pride Parade we also had an alternative Pride. Pride is more than just the Parade, the Parade is important, I can’t explain exactly what it is that makes me so happy that we get to walk down the … Read More
Gods I love Pride. I cannot even express how much I love Pride. I went to my first Pride in Tokyo in 2005. I marched with the Chestnut and Squirrel and DykeNetwork girls and I loved how it felt. How much community there was and how much feeling of Family. I also enjoy confusing people … Read More
