"she isn't ready to forgo cigarettes [...] the adverts told her generation it would make them appear grown-up, glamourous, powerful, clever, desirable and above all, cool
no one told them it would actually make them dead"

"[...] a time when people really did wear their smartest clothes to go to the theatre
and looked down their noses at those not in the proper attire
she want people to bring their curiosity to her plays, doesn't give a damn about what they wear,[...]"

It is "important to know the past [of queer theory] in order to know oneself". Dealing with the past brings light to histories that have been hidden in the dark.

„European liberals invoke their own „enlightened toleration“ of LGBTQ+ individuals in order to legitimate hostility towards Muslims“
Such a powerful sentence, there are so many people generalizing all Muslims and thinking they need to „liberate“ especially Muslim women

Thoroughly enjoyed watching #Julie, loved every bit of it! Can we talk about the stage design for a second?! Movable set elements - big yes from me. But this entire construction? One of the most impressive stages I've ever seen. #NationalTheatreAtHome @NationalTheatre

This week's #SongOfTheWeek is "Boys" by @katcunningmusic! To quote Kat: "We are queer 365 days of the year, and while we stan every inch of umbrella representation, this is a much-deserved moment just for the boys." 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's devastating how many current films don't pass the #bechdeltest. Proper representation matters & makes huge differences. Also, similar conversation: #queerbaiting - we deserve better. Much better. Frustration screams louder than pride on some days.

It's impossible to talk about #queer icons without mentioning @teganandsara, so enjoy their song "Closer" as #SongOfTheWeek 🌈

"It's imprecise and insufficient, defining the homosexual as a person whose gender expression is at odds with his or her sex" @AlisonBechdel #FunHome

[Reading Her/Queerstory @HerReadingUniLD]

This week's #SongOfTheWeek is "And You Don't Even Know It" from @JamieMusical 🕺🏻💃🏻

The level of intertextuality in #FunHome is kinda driving me insane but I'm also really digging it. #queerstory

Kicking off #PrideMonth2021 with @ladygaga's anthem #BornThisWay #SongOfTheWeek

Four chapters into @AlisonBechdel's 'Fun Home' and my brain still keeps playing 'Icarus' by @bastilledan because of the references to Icarus and Daedalus in the first chapter.

No song this week because we're on Whitsun break.
In the meantime, enjoy this stunning poem by @nktgill. #herstory #poetry

Today is #IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia). There's still a long way ahead of us in the fight for equality. Keep fighting. Keep speaking up. Your identity is valid. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #QueerRights are #HumanRights 🌈
