What the hell?

A screen showing the logo of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World The caption reads: “who made you student already in here and it hurts this?”

what I heard: her majesty done already done had herses

AI closed captioning: who made you student already in here and it hurts this?

the only option! she needs a lot of scenes yelling at the terrible men for their bad choices. and maybe a bottle episode set at a lesbians who tech conference at the castro theatre

Evan Peters is an older VC, or maybe the reporter who investigates

can’t wait for Ryan Murphy to read this and turn it into a miniseries starring a twink from Riverdale or something

This was a great piece, and a great song. Just added it to a playlist of mine I’ve been putting it on repeat.

ever since I created this username it’s been a tradition to post a pic anytime I see Pliny the Elder (or Younger) out in the real world

Updates and Welcome Hokay, so… A few weeks ago, I was feeding my addiction to social media when I was supposed to be working on a play for middle schoolers. It was the project’s fault, you see! It was kick…

Remembering that great post where a gay playwright created a detailed queer history for Statler and Waldorf — not a gay couple, but two old queens who’d been in each other’s lives for decades. Such a gorgeous little vignette.

I had two books delivered to my work today, one without incident. The other was an empty, open envelope that was missing Austin Kleon’s STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST.

Not sure I can send a mass email to my co-workers complaining that my copy of STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST was stolen.

Oh, Cleo!

I have to say that you bringing Showgirls back is a huge reassurance to me ❤️

I love that the Kennedy Center’s response to all the artists canceling has been to just have Shen Yun there every night

I know which cafeteria you are talking about — it’s been years but I still remember some great food there

My copy arrived yesterday and I can’t wait to read it

omg I think I was on r.a.t.m back then

I want an all Francophone season all

(my kingdom for an edit button…)

It’s a shame. I’ve hard time making a regular practice of posting here, which isn’t helping my experience.

I donated to Fredo’s Cycle to Zero fundraiser this weekend, and I’d encourage you to do so too if you have anything to spare at this time of year.

Conjuring Power: Roots & Futures of Queer & Trans Movements Curated by Tina Valentín Aguirre and Caro De Robertis; Opening in March 2026 A blend of art, archive, and imagination, this multimedia exhibition explores the resilient beauty, cultural richness, and fierce resistance of Bay Area queer and trans communities. The exhibition features works by Ester Hernández, Serge Gay Jr., Tanya Wischerath, Crystal Mason, and emerging artists from the Queer Ancestors Project. It also includes archival materials from the GLBT Historical Society and audio from Caro De Roberts's / See My Light Shining oral history project. Through the prism of these visionary sources, Conjuring Power provides a fresh look at queer legacies and possible futures.

YBCA Announces Spring 2026 Season Elevating Art at the Intersection of Identity and Imagination By YBCA November 19, 2025 Featuring exhibitions by renowned artists and guest curators, alongside collaborations with the GLBT Historical Society and Queer Ancestors Project, the season celebrates fierce imagination and queer and trans artistry. November 19, 2025 - San Francisco, CA: Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) today announced its Spring 2026 exhibition season, a bold slate of exhibitions connected by ideas of identity, resilience, and liberation. Featuring solo exhibitions by internationally acclaimed artists Diedrick Brackens and P. Staff, and the group exhibition Conjuring Power: Roots & Futures of Queer & Trans Movements, the season reaffirms YBA's role as a leading Bay Area institution where art, activism, and creative expression converge. "At a time when creative freedom is increasingly under attack, YBCA is committed to presenting work that embodies courage, conviction, and humanity," said Mari Robles, CEO of YBCA. "This season of exhibitions at YBCA uplifts bold voices that demand we pay attention to a multiplicity of liberating truths. Whether directly confrontational or tenderly defiant, these artists speak with beauty and power."

Looking forward to the Conjuring Power: Roots & Futures of Queer & Trans Movements that Tina Aguirre and Caro De Robertis are curating for Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, opening in March.

I would get some tees from the Castro — the GLBT Historical Society Museum has some that I love, and Welcome Castro has a selection to look through. Baseball hats are easy because you can swap them out

This is so great — the Roxie theater has had a few Carol Day screenings the last couple of years, so I love that it has gotten a little bigger. Too bad the Castro Theatre isn’t available yet.

I love that San Francisco is turning Carol Day into a holiday tradition.

Oooh, and Viola from the latest season of UK can be on too.

I remember reading about this in the local alt weekly in college and wandering into the art house theater that was playing it — I was not prepared!

Without you saying anything — and without me seeing the movie — I suspect I know which character this has to be
