Going out more and more to LGBTQ-centric venues and events since 2021 has really solidified for me the current place our community is in at the moment.

So much of the messaging now, from the guiding philosophies of the events to the scrawls of graffiti in the bathroom stalls is about radical trans positivity, about inclusion and solidarity, about how the societal structure we live in is inherently rigged against us, about shining a light on removing the barriers we erect around what defines transexuality and queerness, about how to get black market HRT and where you can go to take it safely.

All of this combined with our unenviable spotlight in politics at the moment has made me consider how I feel I'm really inhabiting what will become a major chapter of future UK queer history. However the future of this country unfolds over the next 20 years, we will likely continue to bolster and support ourselves in even tighter and safer community spaces while the fight for liberation continues to grow angrier and become more direct.

I like people using the comedian's adage "is this anything" because it entirely confirms the atmosphere of cohost being a bunch of people who are not only profoundly tired and gay, but also so online that they fully comprehend and appreciate the nature of shitpost-centric virality and humour and have come through the other side of understanding it's not worth putting enough effort in to actually pop off

I started a Godot tutorial last night but instead I workshopped couple of characters with @octo314 to insert into it. they're called Warika and Waleks, and yeah they're t4t. no big deal though
