  • A Case Against: Discord

    Discord, such a convenient, popular, and… unsecure instant messaging app. Should you still be using it in 2026? What are some alternatives? Let’s talk about it!

  • The End of an Era

    Beyond the Plus is dead, long live Beyond the Plus.

  • The Big Radqueer Survey Out Now!

    You can take it on CryptPad, an end-to-end encrypted, anonymous survey platform. The purpose of this survey is for me to see where the radqueer community is at and to draw correlations between data, and to use that information to inform activism decisions, so please answer all the questions that you can! They are all…

  • The Myths of Activism

    Activism is a word that gets thrown around radqueer circles a lot, it’s a concept that our community latches onto, hoping that someday “activism” will save us. We see a lot of people (including myself, admittedly) calling themselves activists, and they wear that title like a badge of honor, garnering respect from people in the…

  • Turning Point

    Last week we held my organization, Beyond the Plus’, first monthly socials, and there was a lot to unpack. In a good way!

  • Happy Pride Month!

    I regret not making a post about this at the beginning of the month, so posting it at the end of the month seemed like the appropriate thing to do.

  • The Importance of Community

    Last night I met up with someone who had never met other MAPs before, but it wasn’t just us, it was with my other friends too. Someone who felt alone a day ago now has friends that they can talk to about anything, people they can go to the bar with, or go to the…
