is there a bisexual cis female or lesbian equivalent of a twink/twunk? asking for a friend.

made an attempt to watch the most recent episode of drag race (more like watched it while we ate), and it reminded me distinctly of the kind of talk and behavior the show pushes that i hate to watch. i got a little ways in and the way they treated each other made me sick, so I left. #allstars10

i always find it weird when a person that i agree with politically… in most instances, blocks me. i see they do it, get on my other account to see why… and i don’t understand. do i seem conservative to anyone?

last night, on this work trip, i was able to see, in person, a childhood friend i’ve not seen for 44 years. we stood in the lobby and hugged and sobbed. We hadn’t hugged since 1980 or 81… we’ve talked and emailed, but getting to just sit and talk was wonderful.

i finished James Baldwin’s Another Country this morning… now started ‘all boys aren’t blue’ by George M Johnson. I’m only the first chapter or so in and it’s so good so far. and i relate in so many ways. i’m looking for more Black Queer writers. who are your favorites? What books do you love.

so i have been in this mental space that makes me feel like i am a different person. unshackled by anxiety, im just calm and outgoing. this is the person i wish i could be all the time. it’s freaking my boyfriend out because im… not an issue. we’re both waiting on the other shoe to drop but…?

Funny Girl was a solid B+. the main was an understudy and she was spectacular. she made the show for me… the show, however, did not age well… but the played it dead on in the era (i could appreciate that) and it felt very much in the style of an old hollywood movie.

it’s so strange i’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years and i still go through doubts on if he is happy to be with me. I am a LOT to deal with, so many fucking issues. sometimes this goes away… sometimes not

Giovanni’s room is making me feel a lot of emotions as i listen to it. i don’t think i’ve read any James Baldwin before and i love his writing style and words. there are other authors that make me want to write, but not many who have made me feel so passionate about it.

just starting Giovanni’s Room and the relationships and characters are making me think about my own life, my own naivety as a kid and the crash impact i in learning reality and learning i was queer, and how that changed my parental relationships. i’m enjoying it so far. i hope it does’t break me.

so finished the book Wicked and… i ultimately didn’t enjoy it. Maybe if i hadn’t seen the musical and film i would have liked it better. as it was… i disliked all of the characters and that is a struggle to get through. my new book is Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin.
