I just saw a screenshot from Somebody Somewhere, and Jeff Hiller is wearing an Old Navy shirt that I own (and almost wore to work this week) and I feel very attacked right now

Very San Francisco vibes: The Queer Tarot Happy Hour was scheduled at the same time as the Grindr Meet Up* and just before the WTF Drum and Bass dance party. At the Stud, because of course it was.

* It was a happy hour for employees who work at Grindr.

The local Presbyterian church has a new Protect Trans Kids banner out front. This weekend they had Sister Roma for a Drag Queen Banned Books Story Hour.
Off to homo book club on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon

I’ve never been as terrified of my government and my society as I am right now. My only way of coping is to share the good queer and trans stuff in my life.

Here are some photos from last night. The dolls gave a great show, and the crowd was ENTRANCED by them.

John, an old friend from the early 2000s blogging era, met up with me for dinner last night. This is the first time we’ve met up in person. I’m glad I suggested this restaurant; it was delicious and quiet; we could take our time; and there was a huge night market going on in the Castro afterward. We walked over to 18th in front of Mollie Stone where we connected with Tina and saw a drag show hosted by Sister Roma with Willam, Sonique, Adore Delano and Jorgeous. There was a rare magic in the air; the vibe in the Castro felt like one of the old Pink Saturdays.

Over dinner, I was telling John that Mastodon reminds me of the best social parts of the old blogging days. I mean where else would you meet up for someone for dinner and feel like you are picking up a conversation that you’ve been having online for years.

Overheard yesterday at the queer latinx social club monthly happy hour:
