bugs rule and are queer

right now i just spent an hour relaxing outside listening to the endless buzzing of a million cicadas as they swarm cook county. most years the cicadas are heard and not seen (at least by me, maybe i'm bad at finding them) but this year there are so many! so many!! sometimes when i'm outside one will land on me and i have to gently coax it off somewhere better. what a good bunch of friends.

tell me about your cool queer bug friends (challenge: talk about why bugs are queer without reference to metamorphosis)

gonna try to do a thing each day of this month for my own amusement and self gratification, and maybe yours as well! all you have to do is talk if you want to, in whatever way you see fit.

today, tell me about really gay food.

what is gay food? that is up to you, but i want to hear your explanations. also, if you want a challenge, you have to pick something that isn't phallic or fish tacos. expand the realm of queer cuisine!

here's what i think is a gay food: kiddie cocktails or suicides or whatever you like to call them where you mix a bunch of drinks from the soda fountain into one cup and swirl them around. together they become something weird and new, but if you concentrate you can taste each individual soda as you drink. a swig of mountain dew can turn into a swig of rc just by thinking about it, and i think that is really cool and gay to be so fluid, so many things at once, at once the sum of your parts and more
