Hey! It's a queer-coded film imo that does a lot of gender-fuckery! It could easily have been Joan of Arc. Listen to your heart!

07.10.2025 14:52 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I watched Legend (1985) last night and oh boy wasn't prepared for how queer coded is was! Especially the dress dance scene?! And Darkness played by Tim Curry!
Now I am seriously thinking of cosplaying something...or writing something. Or both!
I guess things are not looking great here either.

Today is the release day for Queen Demon! Iβll be here at Politics and Prose in Washington DC tonight!
07.10.2025 11:50 β π 531 π 126 π¬ 22 π 0I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. Iβm so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isnβt that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But thatβs ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. Iβm grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.
Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

The SFF field is better for his part in it as a writer, a reader, a friend and cheerleader and my life is brighter for sharing his light. If you have not let it bless you just yet, pick up and devour his A Necessary Chaos today.
