This guy wasn’t in the closet though he was having sex with a guy hanging out with a bunch of queer people he was just predominantly female attracted.

Now people might be able to say things like “bisexual heteroromantic” but also I don’t need compound words when context provides the answer.

Yeah. I just also think self ID is important. Like is this hurting someone or are they just saying they fairly strongly prefer women?

I was talking with him one time back then and he said he liked the word “heteroflexible” alright, but that one never caught on widely in the vocab.

Sometimes you just gotta look up and marvel about the things that human beings have built together.

The Empire State Building flanked by two buildings, under a broken cloudy sky.

(Obviously I sincerely hope we do not get Democrat’d and this is a real new generation of politicians.)

I just pray we don’t get Democrat’d where people are elected because we want them to do things and then they don’t. Still living Alabama Doug Jones trauma where we got out the vote… and he voted by majority with Republicans, and the electorate has never recovered from the betrayal.

This is more or less what I did. Summons on the entry stairs, single dialog initiator, lot of AOE, ice spells are key. It’s possible to stealth around the outside to take out some of the casters on the back end, too, if you have Astarion or Jahiera or somebody.

Because they truly, deeply do not wish for us to vote.

My book Immigration and Apocalypse will be at #AAR #SBL San Diego and bookstores / online everywhere Nov. 26 (pre-order avail now). Immediately, direly relevant, and I wish it were not so.

Picture of the book (showing cover, with a line of souls waiting to see angels in the judgment of the dead, from an 11th c. illumination above, with parallel imagery in photo below of migrants waiting in line to speak to border patrol agents.)

I will never understand why people stan so hard for establishment dems who are in corporate pockets and have resisted change at every turn. Can you articulate your issue with Alex here?

Cal @skyquake.bsky.social · 18h

I mean yes if you think queer leftists are the GOP sure. Or perhaps other people simply use language differently than you do.

At no time was the individual hesitant to discuss having gotten down with guys. He was not in "the closet" with a single person.

It’s basically two totally different but longstanding definitions of these words meeting on the internet.

That was true in the 90’s and better understood (at least among my queer clique).

A friend of mine was having gay sex with his straight best friend, but we knew this was talking about culture vs a biological disposition. The straight friend intended to go on and have a wife and kids and did so.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The mysterious carbon star CW Leonis glows within a web of shells and arcs — a cosmic masterpiece of carbon dust and light. Its fiery layers may hold clues to how the carbon in us once drifted through dying stars like this one.
