Anyway they keep trying to kill us and we (the queers & the homos & the crips & Indigenous people & Black people & Roma & -) so perhaps, at some point, folks would consider paying attention to our suggests for how to stay alive anyway. Even at the end of another world.

Our volunteer safety team btw trains with @bostondykemarch.com & includes Boston Dyke March board members. We send at least one board member for Dyke Patrol earlier in the month. I’ve made Corsi-Rosenthal boxes on my living floor w/my friend who happens to be trans, to bring to a youth group.

We have a Westboro style hate preacher who shows up every year to harass people. The PD have never enforced the law (one year we were indoors b/c weather & he had no legal right to enter, for example). You know who has intervened? Me. One of our drag artists. Our volunteer safety team.

The other day @wolfperson1.bsky.social & I mostly avoided the who-will-pay-the-bill dance but promptly turned around & soft launched a who-will-walk-the-other-to-the-car-at-night dance. Our local police department insists on sending cops to Pride every year. They’ve never intervened once.

I know I bang on abt “we keep us safe” & queer solidarity blah blah blah but it was my gay roommate who walked me to photo shoots after college & insisted on meeting the photographers so they (almost always men) knew I had someone who knew where I was & when I should be home & what they looked like.
