I've been here so long, wth.

We’re also remarkably bi, pan, NB, trans, ace, and aro.

I think these things are related. We’re the Bad Queers. We’re the queers the other queers say are wrong, or confused, or don’t even exist.

We spent our whole lives being told if we just tried a little harder, if we just were a little better, if we could just be a little more normal, then we’d be okay. We’ve always lived on the edges.

And then The Amazing Devil came along and just. Got us. Saw right into the core of each one of us. Picked out each feeling we’d kept buried inside. And told us we were okay, just as we were.

So we can’t help but tell it to each other. We can’t help but love and support and validate each other. Because we know we’re okay as we are. We’re enough. We’re doing fine.

I keep trying to write out exactly how it felt, what it meant for me to be there, but nothing seems to be enough. I’ll keeping working on it, and I’ll post more of the photos and videos I got soon (most likely when I’m back in the states and can take a breath lol).

I will say though, that the connection I felt to every person in that room was near spiritual. To anyone who was not able to make it, if it’s any comfort know that we were carrying all of you with us 💕

[Joey, on finding the will to return to a hometown that didn't treat him well] "I'm different now, what have you got for me?"

Royal Caribbean busca desarrollar en Mahahual, Quintana Roo, uno de los complejos turísticos para cruceros más grandes del Caribe llamado “Perfect Day”, un mega parque acuático que promete atraer miles de visitantes internacionales y se espera entre en operaciones hacia 2027. Sin embargo, organizaciones ambientalistas advierten que el desarrollo podría general impactos irreversibles en una de las zonas ecológicas más sensibles del Caribe mexicano. El proyecto, de acuerdo con información de El País y Greenpeace, tendrá una inversión estimada en 1,000 millones de dólares y pretende recibir hasta 21,000 visitantes al día en una localidad donde viven alrededor de 2,600 habitantes Debido su cercanía con el Sistema Arrecifal Mesoamericano, considerado el segundo arrecife de coral más grande del mundo organizaciones como Greenpeace México y Defendiendo el Derecho a un Medio Ambiente Sano (DMAS) sostienen que la construcción podría afectar manglares, dunas costeras, acuíferos y especies marinas de la región.

Like I understood it‘s bad, you‘re not able to easily walk im the city so people take their cars, bad for the climate bad for health yadda yadda. But it‘s more than that, it‘s not that „it‘s more difficult to walk“ it genuinely means YOU CAN‘T walk where you need to.

I can‘t find the video anymore, but here‘s a scene I remember:

The person wanted to go grocery shopping, easy enough right? Nope. They had to wade through bushes, cross at least one major highway and multiple car filled streets, and jump multiple fences, because they literally HAD NO OTHER WAY to get to the grocery store by foot.

Not-walkable means so much more than just „things are far apart“ and „the streets are kind of shitty and dangerous for walkers“ it can and oftentimes literally means there are NO streets, anything is multiple kilometers/miles away so it would take HOURS to get somewhere because there are NO STREETS.
