#songofthegay: #GayMusicMasters Perfume Genius Me and Angel 2025

I've been having some very tiresome conversations about my use of the word 'queer'. In all honesty, if you personally find it distasteful or traumatic because of something you've experienced, I'd never tell you to feel otherwise. 1/

I love the word Queer.

Who put the stupids in charge?

Inspired by the lyrics of Big Thief’s - Mary 12x18 Watercolor A song I sang to my daughter as an infant and still do, when she lets me #BigThief

So excited for this album!

The screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were playing this video this morning

The more they try to erase us, the louder and more visible we will be. Not gay as in happy… but Queer as in “FUCK YOU!” #polyqueer #queerdad #Queer @adamsnest.bsky.social

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

ANOHNI & The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now 20 years ago, this album ignited my queer heart and opened my aperture to a brighter more complex world. It is a well, a mirror, a transcript, and so much more. It has evolved with me and resonates more and more each day. A defining record for me

Low - The Great Destroyer [2005] Another one that turned 20 yesterday… one of my favorite albums by Low, front to back, exceptional. I really do miss Mimi’s voice #musicsky #nowspinning #vinyl #recordroundup

Bright Eyes - “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” & “Digital Ash In A Digital Urn” turn 20 today?!?! Two records that hold enormous memories, then and in every new version of myself since #weekendwaxstack #nowplaying #brighteyes #vinyl #queerdad #vinylcollector #soundtrack

If you have ADHD &/or Autism and are noticing you're having a REALLY hard time right now, it might be... *gestures to white house, blizzards, fires, elon musks* Our brains are activated by anxiety, fear, and injustice. Dishes and laundry are gonna be just a bit harder right now I'm afraid...

Queer Joy and collective resilience.

10 years ago today, Sleater-Kinney released “No Cities To Love” (@subpop.bsky.social). Our own gilded age. We named it the 12th best album of 2015: magnetmagazine.com/2015/12/14/m...

I can tell BlueSky is doing well because I'm starting to get messages from fake ladybots with big AI bazoombas telling me I'm handsome and do I want to marry them. They grow up so fast... 😭

RIP TikTok?

Alternative innovation, away from the defined, prescribed “boxes” I tried,failed and ultimately realized I could not and did not want to fit into #OceanVuong #Queer #Queerness

New Lucy Dacus! Just what I needed! And already on repeat. Shaping up to be a great year for new music. #LucyDacus

Martin Luther King Jr. was born on this day in 1929.

Can’t get enough of these tracks right now: #MiniMix N° 01 #Playlist

Exploring #sexuality safely shouldn’t be taboo—it’s essential. Access to accurate resources and judgment-free spaces helps people understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and make informed choices. Shame doesn’t protect; education does.

We regularly share the words of Anonymous Queers' text from 1990 from the manifesto titled Queers Read This, in our shop in Provincetown, and in particular our t-shirt with the paragraph that begins: "an army of lovers cannot lose".

This was SUCH a fun conversation, and getting to be a guest on a show I'm already a huge fan of was such an honor! Thank you @justinlehmiller.bsky.social for having me and trusting me with this conversation!

Many people with sex concerns don't realize that shame is actually their biggest problem. Shame helps explain why so many people with “sexual dysfunctions” withdraw from sex and from their partners. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sexu...

My favorite part about having ADHD is the painful monthly process of getting prescription refills by calling multiple offices all while feeling like a drug seeker. (This is sarcasm)

This is so dark. We removed LGBTQ+ identities from the DSM (List of clinically accepted mental illnesses) around 50 years ago, only to weave this harmful narrative back into our digital lives. One step forward. One step back.

Working on my January column for Campaign to speak directly to advertisers. A reminder that Meta’s primary revenue source is advertising and YOU are the product. Money talks. Advertisers can seek to spend their ad money elsewhere. And YOU can make the platform less attractive by using it less.

When your ADHD impulses/working memory deficit and exec function drive you to something you didn’t know would be detrimental to a relationship after you feel you’ve made progress building tools to help navigate… it hurts and I hard to get out of the defeated, self sabotage, “not good enough” mode

Cheers to our unmistakable softness.

What are the strongest days of the week? Saturday and Sunday...the rest are weekdays.

Being 42 is wild because in my head I still feel like I can do the same things I did when I was 22, and this is probably why I constantly throw my back out.

This has been the perfect for my Queer/ADHD/History/Religion major brain. Cohesive, in-depth but different with each chapter so new dopamine is unlocked each time… it’s a great new hyperfixation to nerd out over Great [email protected]

Hot Take: Stimulants aren't the problem, stigma is.

Sunday selfcare — addressing (1) DOOM pile/space… also part of a therapy exercise — wasn’t expecting so many emotions/realizations #inattentiveADHD

Final garden haul before the first frost last week? There will be fried green tomatoes… but anyone have any great pepper recipes?
