If using this word play, at least do it as well as The Alternative Parenting Song:
"She’s given up on romance
She’s tired of broken dreams
She wants to get in someone’s pants
But only for his genes"
Lyrics ©Ron Romanovsky

"ace the performance" at significant cost. Like, you know, burying the genuine me for 5 decades.
.
Not disagreeing with your point- trying to emphasize the impact. I'm sure peeps who are arguably NT still pay a price for abandoning their realness.

Or at least this so-called modern Western society.

As in indie queer artist living on a very tight budget I don’t have funds to send out dozens of samples to buy influence.

My deck creations are
Boutique decks for
Unique card readers.
.
If that's you please check out my current promo. 3 decks of oracle/ journal prompt cards.
.

2/2 Folks on 'taroTube' (youTube) and active on Instagram know my approach to creating decks: artwork & card stock are priorities- gilding, spot varnish or sticker packages are luxuries to those of us on tight incomes. I use a Print On Demand partner because my decks won't appeal to everyone.

Pre-orders are now open for my 3 new Oracle decks.
(Digital Gryphon Decks are
"Boutique decks for
Unique card readers")
I'm passing on the ease (but expense) of using a crowd-funding site and collecting pre-orders at my website:
digitalgryphondesign.com/triple-decker/ 1/2

All of them to some degree- blogged about unlearning them at

I've been accused of giving TMI - see

- and I reply that I'm just following the example of my TMI Hero @margaretcho.bsky.social

Based on what we have learned, this does seem like a fair name for the files

It's a pretty accurate description of my experience. Masked every part of me (except my sexuality) due to serious trauma pre-natal and infancy.

Note the royalty-free appears to be limited to poor economies. Not sure from this Gilead-sourced piece what pricing apples to the Americas.

I never dared dream I would live to see this day.

I can't blithely promise things will magically get better. I'm a stubborn old man who won't let the bastards win and I can but hope you find your strength. There was a period I lived 10 minutes at a time- but lost track and here I am.

Throwing "funny Canadian money" at Kirk Douglas.

Love of all varieties of comedy is the greatest gift Mom gave me. A 24 hour marathon of WLIIA on New Years Day 2001 a big help after 18 day hospital stay.

the UK version;
the ABC Family (Drew C) ones;
and the CW (Aisha T).

Perhaps a good time to watch (or rewatch) this @respectthedead.bsky.social episode

Re: topic #2 this week @neginfarsad.bsky.social While $5k would "change my life" even a $100 Kroger gift card would make a difference. And cover my <[_] bill.
.
But I guess my # is $100k- to cover the taxes, debts and enough to move us back to Canada.

Hopefully it unravels faster.

"If I Can Do It, Anybody Can" . While this is usually meant to encourage people to do something the speaker gad dohe it is a liad of cr@p. People have different skils and abilities.

From my Insta..

It's been a hot minute ('as the world burns') since I mentioned my desire to honour Romanovsky & Phillips. Always looking for #queer singers, musicians, music biz peeps for Family of Lovers and musical theatre folx for Wimp to join me. Allies and $ to fund either project also accepted.

In exactly 2 weeks...

(A less exciting appt 1 week)

A 60-something white queer male is sitting on a burgundy coloured blanket on the side of a bed. They are wearing a dark blue t-shirt with "SILENCE=DEATH then, now, always" in white text across a vibrant pink triangle. They are wearing jeans, and their hands fall gently in between their knees. Their hair is mostly grey. They're wearing dark framed prescription glasses and have a small gold coloured necklace. Over their right shoulder a part of a Progress Pride flag is visible.

In exactly 1 week (07/25) I'll conclude my 67th trip around the Sun. This was unimaginable when I was 27 and my community was dying all around me.

Cards celebrating my 40th extra year- most especially snail mail cards- sincerely appreciated. Sharing this is welcome.

Just published. LGBT/Q material- some vague mention of intimate acts. A lot of emo (love-sick then/ therapy-released angst now).

I've posted a yTube vid of me reading ~14 selections.

Printed to order by our production partner Blurb. Sales fund my move back to Canada. tiny.cc/futuretrophy

This is why our move has become urgent. As an old yt guy I might be safe for a bit, but I'm openly queer, nat'lized in 2008. Move requires paperwork for my husband and funds for me to set up residence.

Is it rude to suggest that Metopia social structure is but a return to the middle-class Canadian upbringing of the 1950s? With, I gather, a more universal application than of our childhoods. Would luv to experience it.

"Republicans plan to kill working class people to fund tax cut for their wealthy donors"
That should be the headlines everywhere describing Trump/GOP's bill because by stripping health coverage from 12 million people it will literally result in 50,000 preventable deaths per year per studies.

SCROTUS has lost the last shred of legitimacy it had.

Dems must commit to impeach every bought and paid for federal judge.
