drag alien crash landed in Galway, Ireland gay, but with a special connection to music, there are many things that are interesting about me. 18+ ๐๐พ
Reading this on the same day the Irish Taoiseach prostrates himself in the Oval Office is making me sick.
Fuck Trump.
GOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent - LGBTQ Nation www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...
This is where anti-trans discourse gets you.
Protecting women and girls somehow equating to inspecting their genitals.
Disgusting, gross behaviour.
This is messed up, but funny how their little minds are so fixated on the gender binary. The definitions don't exactly mirror one another. So drag kings are dominant while drag queens are sensual.
What's a sexy gender non-conforming drag thing to do but gyrate provocatively on stage ๐
The baseline of Queer Resistance is Survival: don't burn yourself out.
Don't get bogged-down in the news. Sleep enough, eat enough, REST enough, and seek some joy. Reinvest some time into hobbies.
Queer Fightback can only be accomplished when you have looked-after yourself: Queer Joy is Rebellion.
A drag thing dressed as Viktor from season 2 of Arcane. Viktor has chin-length brown hair with blond highlights. He wears a blue cloak held up with a gold belt over his glorious evolution skin. Viktor holds a large stick and a notebook with hextech sketches
I was delighted to bring Viktor to @disgracefulcabaret.bsky.social at Akumakon last night.
Viktor Nation, how we feeling? ๐ฅต

Two people in costume pose together. On the left Astra Novus is dressed as Viktor (S2) from Arcane, and on the right Frankie Stein is wearing a monochrome black and white outfit with colourful clown makeup on (wearing black suit pants, tie, waistcoat and little cone hat with a white pompom, and white shirt)
For valentineโs, @astranovus.bsky.social and I (Frankie Stein) were in a drag show!

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights. SIGBI followed by a next arrow

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

A tableau of painting materials. On the left, a plastic container with many paint brushes. In the background a line of fabric paint bottles in the colours: white, black, gold, silver, purple and blue. More paintbrushes beside them along with an old paint splattered mug. Finally another plastic container in the foreground, complete with the stains of previous painting fiascos
The fabric paints are out. It's getting serious.

The cultural importance of the US means that what happens there doesn't always stay there. I love the response by Argentinian activists to the MAGA-like statements by their president at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Great video. The grim message was lightened somewhat by the interesting use of fruit ๐

A black and white image of Irish author James Joyce wearing a boater and black suit with a bow tie. Accompanied by text that reads "fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck up in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue come bursting out through your lips and if I gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Noraโs fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also."
This is bringing me joy today. One of our island's most famous writers, in a love letter to his wife, discussing the pleasure of fucking
"a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her."
Shame around sex is constructed and we should all revel in our desires.
#SexPositive
Solidarity with all trans siblings in the US. It is so hateful that trans lives will be a battleground in this tyrannical administration.
Small comfort that at least there is scope for a fight.
#TransRights
that moment when gender is definitely an unchangable biological truth so you have to enforce it via fascistic law
