A Queer Family Portrait
Last year I used an old one, this year I’m using an even older one. This is of us when we went to Thailand.

I mean, this takes place in Pride month so this year there’s more bunting (we don’t just have the Pride Flag we have the Bi and Trans flags too) and I managed to buy a huge Pride flag with ‘#PRIDE’ printed across it.Usually we have some Pride flags across the place but me and The … Read More
I wrote last year that my favourite Queer Space was the middle of a Pride Parade. Tokyo was my first Pride Parade and I felt so utterly happy walking with the Dykenetwork and the women from the Chestnut and Squirrel and every single Pride march I have felt so happy. I’m not sure why I … Read More
(Content Note: If you’re uncomfortable with me talking about my kinks and/or feelings then this one isn’t for you!) As ever, when I talk about labels I feel like need to write an extensive disclaimer, so many queer women find labels to be problematic. I guess I kind of don’t when it comes to labels … Read More
Last year I wrote about having a community of elders rather than a single mentor.

But today I found out another person that makes … Read More
Last year I showed some love to The Jellicle Cat because she is one of my favouritest Queer People that I know. The prompt for today is to show some love to a queer person in my life. And frankly I was tempted to just post about The Jellicle Cat again because she’s a wonderful … Read More
Queer is such a reclaimed word it seems untrue. It’s absolutely the epitome of a reclaimed slur and it’s so godsdamned inclusive. The whole bloody Quiltbag can use it even the Aces and they tend to get left out of a lot of things (or so it seems to me, I could be wrong) Queer … Read More
This one was an easy prompt, I knew exactly the photo. It’s from Lancaster’s first Pride. There’s me and a number of nerdy queers wearing t-shirts that I had made with queer versions of the LURPS dragon on them. The sign I’m wielding is in support of the Georgian LGBT organisation that was at the … Read More
