"What I love about magical realism is how it blends the strange with the mundane. Once you’ve had a political awakening, you start to see the absurdity of everyday life everywhere. Like, suddenly, you realize—oh, actually, McDonald’s is built on corpses.⁠" - @transdelilah.bsky.social

This is why we march for Pride, lest our names be erased; lest our achievements be forgotten.

We lift up Harvey's name, and Marsha P Johnson, Essex Hemphill, Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, Matthew Shepard, Brandon Teena and all those unnamed and each of our queer selves. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
