The bar across the street has a message for y’all.
An “EVERYONE WATCHES WOMEN’S SPORTS” sign hanging on the fence of an outdoor seating area with a lot of snow but few people.

Have a tumblr post for World AIDS Day
A tumblr post from user estrogenesis-evangelion, posted Mar 18, 2024 you are 16. you are talking with a gay man in his 50s or 60s, a friend, huge and gentle with a scarf and short fluffy curls of gray hair, who has directed you in two plays staged in your mid-size artsy town. (he has not yet asked you to be in his production of The Laramie Project which will change your life. this conversation will also change your life.) he is talking about theatre. he is talking about theatre when he was younger. he says, "of course, it was AIDS then." in the pause, you ask him. clumsy and quiet and 16 and "straight," you ask him. what was it like. he takes a moment in which his face is not like a person's face. "there was a time," he says, "i'm not sure how long, years. when i went to a funeral every weekend." he tells you about two funerals in a day, and choosing between friends when you couldn't make it to both. he does not look at you, he looks at them. his wet grey gaze is so clear that you start to see ghosts. it will be years before you understand why it feels like your grief too. why the ghosts call you family.

Would you like some environmental storytelling from my inbox?
An email “hiiii bestie, i'm so not trying to be that clingy ex in ur inbox but it's been a sec since u opened our emails (?) so i have to ask... do u still wanna hear from us ??” The image in the email is not loaded and there is a privacy protection banner asking about loading images.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

I’m…I’m sure everything will be fine.

Swissvale library looking a bit different
A library with the facade under construction, with scaffolding and tarps all around, and the stairwell leading to the entrance demolished.

While I am praising this bathroom I should also add these photos
Bathroom stall graffiti reading “suck a girl’s dick and take her to taco bell” Bathroom graffiti reading “death before detransition” and “the best family is one you choose” Bathroom graffiti reading “a trans woman peed here and millions lost their lives” and a followup “I went to heaven ❤️”

Mary, girl, you cannot be doing this to me.
A photo of a passage from a book: about it, and it made sense. My standards for getting involved with someone included two things: Is she beautiful? Does she like me? The feeling of safety in a relationship had eluded me; I had no real understanding of it, yet. It

This is the correct response to the question Evan actually asked.

A lot of people seem to be arguing against it because they’re reading the question this way instead ⬇️…and that changes the meaning of the question!
A screenshot of a post by Evan Urquhart, heavily edited to change the question to How are we feeling about the word “transexual”? I have a draft from a freelancer that repeatedly uses “transexual” - okay/not okay?
