Thank you, @JessieGender @jessiegender.bsky.social @jessiegender for this inspiring quote from José Esteban Muñoz: "The future is queerness' domain. Queerness is a structuring and educated mode of desiring that allows us to see the future beyond the quagmire of the present. The here and now is a prison house. We must strive, in the face of the here and new's totalizing rendering of reality, to think and feel a then and there. Some will say that all we have are the pleasures of the moment. but we must never settle for that minimal transport, we must dream and enact new and better pleasures, other ways of being in the world. and ultimately new worlds ... Queerness is essentially about the rejection of a here and now and an insistence on potentiality or concrete possibility for another world."

And thank you also for the video "From Gender Identity to Science Fiction Film Director: What I Learned." I'm really looking forward to seeing your film IDENTITEAZE! This is another great reason for me to subscribe to nebula.tv and dive deeper into the work of LGBTQ creators and thinkers like you. :QueerCat_Pride: 🌈

Muñoz's groundbreaking work "Cruising Utopia" is a must-read for anyone interested in queer theory and politics. It continues to inspire a new generation of LGBTQ scholars. #CruisingUtopia #QueerFuturity #LGBTQ #Muñoz #QueerWriters #Queerness #Future #Inspiration
