  RE: https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/116998990952138579 I had a few minutes so I did the same: Harry Potter has become a hate symbol within the queer community, its deeply disappointing to see Tims have this partnership. Give'em a call!

  in the past 52 weeks i went dancing 53 times. here are some semi-idiosyncratic beliefs i’ve developed around raves, dance parties, dancing. - one hour dj sets can be good but never great; you need at least two hours to really say something interesting - sets recorded live are better than sets recorded in a studio (not controversial) - crowd quality is very important; a truly great dance party has excellent music and an excellent crowd - the best parties ban cellphones - 3-4am at a party that go...

  i shared a bit of skin in a cheeky instagram post and it attracted a chaser — and so i experienced my first bout of unwanted (presumably) male attention. the guy messaged me on a friday, followed up on tuesday, i soft blocked him, he refollowed then sent me another msg the following saturday the persistence is creepy; i found myself scrubbing links to my real identity (it’s an open account) before i hard blocked him. i’d heard of these patterns from female friends but experiencing it first ha...

  it seems unfair when i have been at my most idle when my body most desperately needs exercise and movement THAT is when i least feel able to act on it. yes, i am dying but the idea of going for a run feels like a punishment
