this is pretty rare but i'm craving social activity today
like i would love to be on a beach with a bunch of handsome gay men listening to top 40 radio and being entertained by endless "witty repartee."
i think the most realistic approximation of that would be to go to the park with my boyfriend, scowl at all the straight couples with little babies and goo at the baby ducklings.

I’m going to a park in a little bit to meet up with my pal and his husband. Baking some blondies for the occasion. Not being able to swim in a large natural or artificial body of water this summer is really going to be the pits - we’ve already had some 90+ temps in the past month

Real question: how much park cruising do you think is going on right now?
Not asking for myself, or even for a friend... I've never hooked up in a park! I've played watchdog for friends who have, though. I'm more just curious. I know a couple men who have confessed to me that they've been doing it and I'm curious if this is more common than I'd imagine.

we spent hours outside, went to one park, then another, back to the first park, ordered thai take out. admiring trees, creeks, birds, oh and shirtless men. we sat directly next to the volleyball sandboxes and watched the show - not obvious at all lol.

"Real question: how much park cruising do you think is going on right now?"
I exercise around Buena Vista park in SF every morning at around 3-5 AM since this all started, so I won't have to deal with people on the street. The first few nights after the shut down there were a lot of gay people cruising the park. I honestly felt bad for some of the little short guys cruising the park at 3:00 AM when I went by them, I honestly expected them to have their heads bashed in. It seemed super unsafe to me. Four days after the shutdown in SF started, I have not seen anyone, but I have seen a few cars seemingly waiting for people to go into the park. Maybe earlier in the night, but it seems people are behaving.

OK so how is everyone doing? What a blindingly weird year.
I just spent the last hour re-reading the Queer threads from years past and it's like... so much was happening in 2018, 2019! So little seems to be happening right now.
My ex, who I adore, and who is great, got really hostile and awful to me post-breakup. I chalk it up to "he really loved me and this breakup is hard" and "he's insecure about my new fuckbuddy and the sight of me moving on with my life creatively", not mad at him, but I cut off contact with him, perhaps indefinitely. Sad we couldn't make it work! I will miss his friendship and I will miss the dog.
My current fuckbuddy, our relationship kind of took a boyfriend-by-necessity turn as a result of COVID and quarantining and it quickly became clear to us both that this was way too quick and we aren't compatible for long periods of cohabitation so we ended things for a bit and are now, like, dating again, as best as you can in these dreadful circumstances. He is so, so sweet, it's weird to be dating who is kind instead of spiky.
It's been pretty interesting to be in a position of "trying to sell a record" with COVID and all this protesting, I've kind of run out of musical steam, and I'm toying with the idea of writing a pile of new songs, but also toying with the idea of turning to writing sci-fi instead.
― DJ Fiona Apple Genius (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 16 June 2020 14:28 (three years ago) link
Hi, FGTI!
Blindingly weird. I have for months now had a low-level panic set into my neck and suprasternal notch that sometimes flares down but never goes away. Initially COVID-related, it sure didn't help being in the (initial) epicenter of a nationwide revolution. If there's one thing you need to know about Minnesotans and in particular Minneapolitans, it's that we love being thought of as exceptional, but absolutely never enjoy being the center of attention. (And then working in news, I naturally have a full second wave of COVID panic with so many of my co-workers having been out in teeming petrie dishes of humanity.)
I'm still getting married ... which, after four months of him working from home and us otherwise spending nearly our entire social life with just each other and still wanting to go through with it, must be the right decision. We did realize we can't pull of a destination wedding, however small in scope (it is just going to be us and our immediate families), because there's no point going to a destination if there's nothing open to enjoy. So we're getting married in the no-longer-burning city of Minneapolis, three months from tomorrow. We'll renew at Martha's Vineyard whenever, if ever, things return back to normal while our parents are still alive.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 16 June 2020 17:40 (three years ago) link
That's fantastic news, congratulations!
Yeah, I've been feeling like quarantining is kind of "make or break" for relationships. Some of my coupled friends are having a ball! My own apartment is spacious-for-one, cramped-for-two, so it was impossible to really get a read on our co-habitation compatibility

I miss my IRL queer spaces so, so much at the moment. Lockdown has been so hard for that. I miss my queer theory reading group. I miss my various enby groups. I miss queer reading nights at the Feminist Library.
I miss spaces where being COMPLICATED is not automatically equated to being "difficult". Spaces where being "difficult" is celebrated as an inherent part of the complicated panology of queerness, and not pathologised or used as a justification for your abuse.
I miss spaces where "acknowledgement of systemic oppression and power structures" is not dismissed as ~oh noes a conspiracy~ thinking, but considered the structure of fundamental reality.
I miss, most of all, in my queer theory reading group, the respect that we show each other, that we do not automatically reach for the worst, most problematic, negative interpretation of the things we discuss, but that we tease out difficult and thorny and complicated concepts together. That freedom is such a joy, and it's so rare.
The difference, of course, being that it's a lot easier to have a discussion in person than it is among a faceless group of usernames.

AFAB queerness is valid and fluidity is valid and online experiences are valid, I got screamed at because my advice centred AFAB queer people. (That centring AFAB queer inherently means excluding AMAB queers, but... if a space centres AMAB queer people by default, that's... NOT exclusionary? That's just... what, normal?)
If you make a disparity between AFAB spaces and AMAB spaces, you are literally transphobic.
