The Queer Author Who Spoke the Plain Truth Dorothy Allison, the Bastard Out of Carolina author who died last week, modeled the power of honesty in her writing and her life.

An amazing, true, & astonishingly written piece about Dorothy Allison by the wonderful Lily Burana.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I did that thing where I liked 7 posts so BlueSky could get a sense of what I'm into and it was basically all pictures of incredibly adorable cats.
