Navigating any sort of grief whether big or small is no walk in the park. It's experienced differently by all. One thing is sure, we all share grief collectively.

[Alexander Hardy @chrisalexander_]

There is so much love in this "griefKit: Tools and considerations for raggedy times."

Thank you to everyone who shared a resource, story, song, recipe, or copyedit.

I hope there is something in here to help you feel a little less raggedy.

Pride month was a busy month, I had the pleasure of curating this event on queer stories. Visibility and representation matters and I'm glad I can be out there. Thank you @npBritish @UKinNepal for the space and platform

‘We are often seen as the subject & not as the creators. We need to do more in the queer arts because what is out there right now are mostly prescriptive, monolithic narratives,’ writer, researcher & founder of @melungstories Dia Yonzon said during our #PrideMonth2024 panel

Insightful panel by @npBritish @UKinNepal last week as panelists spoke about who gets to write and share Queer stories. @ShbReel #Queer #Pride #PrideMonth

@ToPoliticise Coolest thing ever !

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

@lesmis456 When I started using Facebook again more actively in last few months, that was the number one frustration for me too, having a newsfeed be full of stuff I wasn't following at all.

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

I got to do a thing ! We're on a magazine cover !

Queer HonkyTonk @ShbReel is back with a brilliant night of performance on Saturday 1st of June! #Kathmandu #QueerNepal #LGBTNepal

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

When spaces for queer performance are almost nonexistent, you create it yourself. Come to the drag event I organised happening on Sat. Open to all, so if in the KTM, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur surrounding areas, come join to witness a one-of-a-kind show

Raising funds for @PrideParadeNp , please help if you can. For international folks, there is a GoFundMe link. For anyone with a local Nepali account, use phone banking to send funds. Every little bit helps.

[Nepal Pride Parade - 2nd Saturday of June @PrideParadeNp]

We are fundraising for the 6th Annual Nepal Pride Parade. If you have, chip in. Please share for wider audience.

@grey_gooses Seems some folks are allergic to human decency and being good partners if this offends them. For them, accessibility is clearly a crime 🙃

[Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis @DrLoupis]

Do you agree? ❤️

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

I had the pleasure of co-writing this with @latepoetsociety on our experiences at @OutburstArts and the contrasting queer arts scene in Nepal.

#Opinion

Nepal struggles by and large at times for queer visibility. There are no explicit spaces for SOGIESC artists to showcase their works nor openly come together as a community, it all exists in pocket spaces.

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

To attend a festival centered around giving queer folks engaged in various forms of art sharing platform, that was a dream I didn't know I had come true at the time. Now there's work to be done in creating space for queer arts at home.

[British Council Nepal @npBritish]

Nepal's delegates Shuby & Birat attended the #OutburstQueerArtsFestival

#Outburst is Northern Ireland’s award-winning annual queer arts festival showcasing the best in new #LGBTQI + performance, film, writing, music, visual arts, #arts markets & more.

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

Why do people think this is okay ? Let's call out the harassers and the transphobes. @MinchyaaMeyju is a trailblazer in the Nepal queer rights movement, some of the older queer folks are way too narrow-minded in their ideologies even in this day and age. It's tiring.

[SBhattarai @ShbReel]

Hands down one of the best comedy plays I've seen. Kudos to the actors and crew in what they had to pull off with the finesse details in The Play That Goes Wrong. @londontheatre @mischiefcomedy
