A young man sat down beside him on the divan and, without any kind of preliminary, said, “Is it a queer book?”

“No,” said Laurie.

“Oh,” said the young man, on a note of utter deflation. He got up and went away.

@adsandthestars hi I'm not OP but I think you would like Idlewild by James Frankie Thomas (for messy queer friend groups & theater kids)

@jellymas7 I think it's not necessarily that they like capitalism but that they specifically associate "woke" with race / gender / sexual orientation. Like there are people who dislike capitalism but are not woke on social/cultural issues

@ozdustgal I'd heard of the whale but didn't know anyone was waiting for him to explode

you can tell from someone's reaction to this tweet whether they think the point of teaching is a) fostering learning or b) humiliating people who know less than you

@james_f_thomas I was born in 1991 and immediately said "Lamb Chop!" when I read this

@ReplyGuyLLC Plus a lot of straight people have hobbies that heavily skew toward their own gender. The odds are low that a straight woman will meet a straight man in her knitting circle who's single and in her age range (and if she does, she'll probably have a lot of competition)

[Lizzy (@someonelizz on BlueSky too) @someonelizz]

@ReplyGuyLLC yeah the majority of people in my age range are already partnered, and a lot of Meetup groups explicitly say on their page "We are NOT a dating group!", so it's discouraged to romantically approach people there

@langofmind oh it definitely rings true for the trans guys I know. Theos and Ezras are either toddlers or trans millennials, in my experience

@BruckshawAlex If I had a friend who was a fan and wanted me to watch it with them

I’m listening to this tape of a panel of gay and lesbian therapists from the 1970s and the gay men are all obsessed with accidentally having sex with their clients in bathhouses and the lesbians are all obsessed with what happens if they run into their clients at poetry readings

@oh_tuntun I don't think of it as "fair" or "unfair" to block people, I just block whoever I feel like blocking, for literally any reason.

[Lizzy (@someonelizz on BlueSky too) @someonelizz]

@xenocryptsite No, I think you can be part of a community while having few to no friends. For example, you might participate in your church, or your kid's school, or a political organization, without having a lot of friends in that institution.
