While we navigate this current backlash, it's essential to tell these kinds of stories; to understand how suffocatingly oppressive our recent history was and see how we can persist despite a hostile society. [ 3 /3 ]

An impressive first film from Emmi—whose nuanced writing tackles layers of institutional homophobia while always maintaining humanity. He also makes surprising and brave, particularly centering the story on a closeted cop engaging in entrapment of gay men. [ 2/3 ]

Watching Plainclothes in a small town theater with writer/director Carmen Emmi and cinematographer Ethan Palmer—surrounded by an audience filled with queer people who had lived through this time period—really made this film sing. [ 1/3 ]

I highly recommend seeing this important and nuance film! #queerart #filmsky #queersky

Today is Marsha P. Johnson’s 80th birthday. It’s a travesty she is not here so we must keep her memory alive.

This ad takeover was created by Suriani in 2019. The poster was part of the Art In Ad Places pride series curated by @dustyrebel.bsky.social to mark Stonewall 50. #queerart #queersky

@bsky.app moderators have flagged this post as “Adult Content. Explicit sexual images.” because of the manikin in bed that is essential just a giant Barbie doll. So silly.

I have been fortunate to experience many of @raebk.bsky.social's installations and I can assure you this one is not to be missed!

For FARADAY CAGE, the anonymous street artist has transformed a five room prefab house in rural Kerhonkson into a fully immersive installation...

Get up to the Hudson Valley because this is not to be missed! Over the years, @raebk.bsky.social has consistently created some of my favorite installations. Very excited to check this one out!

Dottie, Queen of the Chickens died of old age yesterday. She's lived on our property years before we did and was boss of the run. (Despite being challenged by a younger hen!) Gonna miss that sweet girl! #chickensky

Certainly found it to be one of the most maddening parts to write of my book proposal!

30 years since Lollapalooza '95. No phones, yet we could find each other. Horrid heatwave. Courtney Love demanded the water canons—screaming, "I'll pay your fucking water bill!"

At Stage 3 Maggie Estep says, "I don't know about you, but I'm going over to Stage 2 to see Patti Smith." And so we did.

Glenn Burke, the first openly gay baseball player, invented the high five. "The very first recorded high five took place on October 2, 1977...Liking the feel-good gesture, Burke started to high-five gay friends in San Francisco’s Castro district, and it quickly became a gay signifier" #gayhistory

"Representation can signal that someone like you made it—that maybe you can too. It can disrupt silence...That’s big. That’s holy.

But representation without power? That’s theater. And in the art world, theater without equity is just another way to sell tickets."

@sachacoward.bsky.social videos are worth a look. What's happening to authors working with Unbound is terrible and highlights the depressing the state of publishing in general.

We need to a healthier media landscape because the world is not only in need of diverse voices, there's a demand for it!
