Rolling Queer Life 2016

I had that once and it was weird, I wanted sex he didn't but we slept and cuddled and felt safe together

also hay gurls hay

everything about sex is weird to me atm. i think i'm addicted to it too.

hi stevie

my boyfriend liked that garth greenwell book that's been getting a fair amount of praise lately but i haven't read it yet

I read it -- intermittently powerful. My favorite recent gay novel was, of all things, Edmund White's latest.

hai guys

I got good head from a former student several weeks ago. Another told me on the intercampus shuttle that he's a dancer here.

First catcall of the autumn (or nearly the last of the summer?) tonight // hi, Alfred!

I'm glad we have a queer thread rather than a gay one (thanks maps) and I hope we can get some lassies in here or non binary or curious or whatever. Straight people too! My best friend is straight but identifies as queer.

Fgti, there's nothing those gays like more than drama - I don't have any advice for you other than resist being involved in that drama. Stay calm. I hope it works out.

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, fgti, Have a good one. (My iPad wants to autocorrect you to fatigue!)

I met an awesome non-binary woman who I connected with over minimal techno and Bill Callahan. Friend for life!

I don't know if I should have said woman. Such a minefield.

Lass here; I'm not nonbinary, but I would just follow however that person described themself: some nb people might identify as nonbinary but also as aligned with a specific gender, others wouldn't.

Great! I think we were too busy talking about techno to talk about pronouns :)

Probably for the best :)

i run from drama like Usain bolts

cool, a little jealous to be honest! those are the kinds of friends i need / want.

i'm having a good time with a 24-yo phd student. he wanted to cuddle tonight but i demurred. i like sleeping alone in my bed dammit, anything else is a sacrifice. we're getting dinner friday night. i think the lesson from my previous relationship is always be fucking honest.

posting this from stevie d's couch rn iirc

too fun

tbh i have laughed more in the last like 48h kicking it w/ donna rouge than I have in a v long time

Hey folks. Glad to see!

My boyfriend's mom passed away on Sunday after an extended period in hospice so the last several months and the last few days in particular have been something of a challenge. Still, we're getting through it and adapting where necessary. Real life, real adult shit, I guess.

condolences to you and the family, ps.

what he said^^ <3

Yeah that's really tough. My mum will probably pass fairly soon. It's the biggest dread of my life.

Best wishes X

Also well jeal about Steve and Donna kicking back!

yah my best to you, ps. Hugs.

<3

My condolences, ps <3

best to you and your bf

Thank you, everybody. Much love.

Stevie D is in RI for a wedding and I'm taking him to the Todd Oldham retrospective at the RISD Museum tomorrow!!!!!

I kicked it w patron sailor and his dude today and it was sooooo much damn fun

love the nail polish

otm

Steve gave me a tshirt from Night of 1000 Kates, I am very happy

:D

how was everyone's queer life this week

Fine. I'm eating salted nuts at my desk.

Good. Back to school for my last round of course work ever. Taking a Queer and Transgender Studies course (for which I just started reading Epistemology of the Closet for the first time), along with a lit course on children.

Otherwise, the gayest thing I encountered all week was the cheetah in Zootopia.

enjoying some coffee

I'm in love with Jason Baseman's fox

i'm making vaporwave remixes of missing persons songs in audacity

wow

I gave up dating this year and am feeling a lot better about life. It's still lonely sometimes but after I just jerk off it's fine again.

hi DeskRobot! it's a good solution.

nothin goin on. I missed my boytoy's opera and now he's touring in Europe, probably won't see him again til Nov/Dec.

Hello savvinesslessness!

(I just realized that was a rather odd introduction to the thread, lol)

I'm sure I'll date again btw but after so many failures fatigue inevitably sets in. I think it's good to take time to know yourself before you drag other people in.

Not a lot of distinctly queer-specific experience this week: I worried about the future, went to a noise demonstration in solidarity with the prison labor strike and felt dysphoric about my voice leading chants (I can't modulate it well while shouting; as a rule I assume that everyone can clock me anyway, but I still feel uncomfortable about it), had to hurriedly and somewhat awkwardly ascertain in the middle of the night that a roommate wasn't actually suicidal (her tumblr's evidence to the contrary), worked on an essay for a friend's collaborative zine, waited for the advent of scarf and sweater weather.

this week, like many weeks before, has been spent applying for jobs and never hearing back about any of them, good stuff

I finished Joseph and His Brothers, in which every character, including his dad Jacob, lusts after the title character.

bemused by all the GREAT OUTDOORS pics on teh gay social app, like you're not from here are you? they dragged my ass outdoors until i was 18 and it's not like i can't enjoy it now but that shit is work, tents smell and bugs suck. i actually really love hiking but give me a motel room after we're done.

if it's a desert shot, not mountains, and the boy isn't in front of a vista, but maybe stooping next to a blooming prickly pear, i'm not not interested.

i'd rather not sully a vista with my ugly mug

oh pshaw ;)

what's new, everyone?

any gay tips for London? is anyone in touch w/ plax1co, is he still there?

well i guess 'identity politics' is suffering a trough on the board

morbs you fb messaged me and I forgot to message you back! I haven't talked to him in quite a while :(

He started and contributed to a Judy Garland poll on ILM. That's was the first I'd seen of him for a while.

yes, thats last i remembered

well my first night in London there's a bar night called Come to Daddy in Kings Cross. I know my cohort.

met up with plax1co my last night over there, what a dearie. we discussed the royals and Ann Miller.

aw, i miss him - that time i got to hang out with him in LA was wonderful
