  • Ally Kotetsu: Blacklisted

    I knew the day would come where I’d be blacklisted from an event, I just didn’t know it’d be so soon.

  • We’re Here and We’re Queer

    This is gonna be a bit of a preaching to the choir, depending on who ends up reading this. I always see the way people talk about us and wanna stand up for this community, but I don’t want to bring the negative attention towards me. Violet thought making a blog post about it would…

  • Bluesky, A Love-Hate Relationship

    Bluesky, A Love-Hate Relationship

    I suppose I really don’t have a right to complain about when social media platforms ban me. It’s not like it’s a human right to make posts on the internet, and there are people out there who have less and don’t complain, but I still have the right to be upset about discrimination like this.

  • Happy Pride Month!

    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.

  • Happy (Late) Alice Day

    Happy (Late) Alice Day

    Alice Day was yesterday, and I forgot to make a post about it. I guess I was just too busy to remember, but busy doing what? Hosting an Alice Day picnic of course!

  • Our Stonewall

    I’ve heard time and time again that MAPs need a “stonewall”. Stonewall refers to a series of riots against law enforcement who were pestering gays back decades ago, and it had a lasting impact as a pivotal gay rights event. People say we need ours, but no one wants to throw the first brick because…

  • Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving is a holiday I am not too fond of, not only does it lead to awkward family get together, but it is based on an event taught to us all as a lie, a continued propaganda despite the fact that most adults know it is a lie. I am referring to the colonization “discovery”…

  • The Fight

    Everyone is scared about a Trump presidency: women, people of color, and, what I’ll be writing about in this post, queer people.
