First story of season 2 y’all!! We’re back we’re back we’re back

Listen to the full story of 🔮 The Night of the Purple Moon 🔮wherever you get your podcasts!

🕺 This folktale is all about outcasts and queer folks getting second chances at life, and it was inspired by Joe’s uncles (Michael and Nunzio) who had to get married 3 different times because of homophobic legislation! Michael and Nunz made sure they got their chance, and this story is Joe’s dream of a world where everyone gets a second chance at life who needs it.

🌳 First story of season 2 everyone, welcome to it! Be sure to check back every Monday for a brand new Singing Porch story.

Like. "Woman" ain't it. Too much pressure. Don't fit right. "Girl"? Closer, but also wrong. Too small. "Dude"? Much better. Sort of oblong, a lil sloppy, but it'll do. "Sir" is preferred on formal occasions. "Ma'am" is wrong. "Miss" is wrong. "Young lady"? No. Absolutely not. "Bro"? Yes. "Guy"? Eh, I'll take it.

But "Chick". Chick, I like.

Casual. Informal. Languid. Audacious. "He's a chick". Good. Strong. Powerful. "She's a guy". "He's pretty". "She's handsome".

Girl in a dude way. Dude in a chick way.

Titan of blood aka we were always here

Dunamis power aka we will be here in any timeline

Queer time is different. More messy. I'm currently going through puberty again, for example. I find strength in my trans and queer progenitors, because without them I wouldn't have been here.

From The Pace of Queer Time by Lila

I occasionally look at runway collections to see what are the current fashion atrends. I came across Charles Jeffrey Loverboy’s SS25 show. He said he was exploring the concept of “queer time”:

“how it shapes our expectations and social obligations to look in a certain way during the day and at different times of our lives… Aesthetics uniforms or pyjamas were deconstructed and assembled back together through the lens of the brand’s queer post-punk signature style.”

I think he succeeded with the deconstruction aspect, I’ll let you decide whether you like it or not. But I wonder how many hours each model practiced in the mirror to achieve those perfect haute and angry expression on the runway.

Although I think this model really succeeds in selling the swagger. She looks like she’s actually enjoying herself.

we're back & we are literally laying in the foundations of decay & y'all don't even CARE......
