Beau the Cryptid

I started watching Fiona and Cake, and I thought I heard @briamgilbert.bsky.social and definitely did squeal a little when I was correct.

Start Trek made me kinky

A still from the Doctor Who episode Christmas Invasion showing Harriet Jones saying "There's an act of parliament banning my autobiography."

Being Trans in America

I'll never be one of those corporate gay men. I can't afford to go to conventions and retreats. I don't drink or party. I put agitprop in bathrooms it's illegal for me to shit in because I don't have a dick.

Listening to @dogparkdissidents.com when you're feeling alone as a broke dirty queer is self care.

It's 6 months away, but kink and leather belong at Pride. Kink and leather are part of queer culture. Kink and leather are political. The whitewashing of queerness for the sake of acceptability is bowing the knee to fascism. You can't have a queer space devoid of politics, kink or leather.

My birthstone is a Good Stick™️

Or the christians in poor rural America. I remember being a small child learning from my dad how dire the living conditions in east Kentucky and the rest of appalachia are. Running water isn't a given and foraging is survival. But no, cut food stamps.

Disability win for the day: my specialty pharmacy now lets me refill by text instead of calling. I've gone without my meds for over a month before because the process of the phone call is so overwhelming and complicated.

Not getting my steps in, just forgetting I left that thing upstairs a lot.

Don't want your kids to turn out as anticapitalist rebels? Don't raise them on Charles Dickens and Star Wars.

Call me old-fashioned, but the uptick of preventable illnesses seems a much more pressing issue than the existence of neurodivergence.

Diversity is awesome. Measles is not.

Not bad for my first time with a handgun. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Being Trans in America but unable/unwilling to leave feels like that part of Home Alone where Kevin decides to booby trap the house, because it's my house and I'm gonna defend it.

When we say Epstein didn't kill himself let's not forgot that implies someone else killed him.

All the world's a stage, gender is performative, and I am a technician.

"i'm afraid to start HRT because it might be taken away"

they've already taken it away from you by making you afraid they will

make the appointment

Part life update, part existential musing, all return to blogging.
I'm going back to college and it's giving me big feelings.

aging the way he deserves

I'm working on a personal timeline and I just remembered my first crush. Wonder where Jonathan from my kindergarten Sunday school class is now.

Isreal is also breaking the law.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

If you are someone who would like to help those arrested in Los Angeles, due to the ICE protests, check out Jail Support LA:

ICE aren’t law enforcement agents, they are Gestapo being used by a racist criminal tyrant to inflict fear, cruelty and brutality on people of color.

Facts. #NationalGuard #ICE

We all know that fear can make us want to fight, flee, freeze, or fawn. These are natural impulses. Appeasement doesn't work on fascists tho. Never has, never fucking will. It doesn't make them less dangerous, but it can turn you into someone who enables their violence.

I love when Mythbusters went to fetish shops. I also love that 10 year old me was exposed to those shops, and none of my southern baptist family realized what I was seeing, because fetish and kink gear aren't inherently sexual.

I can't find this person on here, but this is so cool. The Epic of Gilgamesh is gay.
