Who Are the Radical Faeries? 8 Queer Circles and Sanctuaries Around the World A few months ago, I met someone at a festival in Australia who invited me to visit Faerieland, a Radical Faerie sanctuary in New South Wales, where they live long-term with several other residents on a semi-off-grid property. I had first learned about the Radical Faeries at a countercultural festival

7 Best Queer Salsa and Bachata Classes Around the World When I was traveling in South America with NOMATRIBE last year, I took some salsa classes and really enjoyed it! Dancing doesn't come naturally to me, so salsa forces me to move my body in different ways — and to get comfortable with all of the non-verbal communication that partner dancing

From a11y to l10n: How to Make Your Website More Accessible with Localization The first time I saw the abbreviation “a11y,” I thought it had something to do with being an LGBTQ+ “ally”.

What Should We Call You? What (Almost) Everyone Gets Wrong About Names Last year, I signed up to become a member of a coworking space that I planned to work from a few days per week.

What Do Queer People Think About AI? We just spend the weekend volunteering on the Safety Team at PyConAU — one of the most queer-friendly tech conferences in the world.

🌍 Queering the Remote Work World: Meet Remote Queer Written in collaboration between Charlie (he/they), Founder of Everywhere Is Queer & Saul (he/they) and Matt (they/them), Founders of Remote Queer For queer folks who live a nomadic life, the idea of finding community on the road can feel… complicated. That’s exactly why **Remote Queer** exists. Co-founded by Saul and Matt, partners in life and business. This project is more than a job board or a newsletter. It’s a lifeline for 2SLGBTQ+ travelers who want to thrive while working remotely, without having to shrink themselves to fit into the straight-coded, hustle-focused world of digital nomads. Saul’s journey started in 2017 when a working holiday in Australia led to love and residency. Matt brought their own background in open-source tech and inclusive design. Together, they’ve spent years moving through the world while navigating everything from visas to overtourism — and dreaming up a more liberatory way of being queer abroad. In 2024, **Remote Queer** was born. Their mission is simple: help queer people navigate the remote work world with confidence, community, and care. Whether through free workshops on inclusion, curated job listings, or upcoming 2SLGBTQ+ remote work trips, Saul and Matt are building a more conscious and connected movement. One that centers our stories and values. ## Remote Queer _Image of Matt and Saul, provided by Matt and Saul_ Remote Queer Website ### 💬 **“Being queer is about more than just relationships — it’s about values.”** For Saul and Matt, those values show up in everything they do. That means recognizing passport privilege, critiquing gentrification, and building spaces where inclusion isn’t just a checkbox, but a daily practice. From using thoughtful, affirming language to prioritizing queer creators (and _not_ AI tools!) in their design process, the Remote Queer team is working to make digital nomad life accessible, affirming, and deeply queer. Of course, it’s not without challenges. As they put it, some of the most difficult barriers aren’t acts of overt hate but quiet erasure or microagressions. From coworking spaces that deadname users to conferences that forget accessibility, their work is about noticing the gaps and creating tools that actually fill them. Whether you’re new to remote work or a seasoned traveler, Remote Queer reminds us that it’s possible to explore the world without losing your connection to queer community and that joy can show up anywhere, from a Melbourne dance floor to a cozy couch with a borrowed cat in your lap. ### 💡 **Queer joy tip from Saul & Matt?** Find your people. Whether it’s a queer climbing gym or an inclusive tech conference, community doesn’t have to stay still to be real. 🎵 **Soundtrack to their journey?** “Welcome to My Island” by Caroline Polachek, an anthem that’s as bold, boundless, and beautifully queer as the work they’re doing. **🌈 Connect with Remote Queer** Find your next job, trip, or bit of inspo at www.remotequeer.co and follow their journey toward a more inclusive world of remote work!

Is Permanent Residency Really Permanent? The Hidden Truth About PR When you think about getting “permanent residency,” you probably think about having the right to live and work in another country for as long as you want. After all, many countries distinguish between “temporary” visas and “permanent” visas, so it makes sense to assume that a permanent visa would be

Why LGBTQ+ Nomads Should Consider Moving to Australia For some remote workers, being a digital nomad is all about geo-arbitrage: moving to a developing country where their currency, often the U.S. dollar, can go further. But this can have drawbacks, such as the lack of a pathway to permanent residency or a growing inequality between digital nomads

Can Moving Overseas Reduce Your Student Loan Payments? Student loan debt affects over 40 million Americans, and according to a recent survey by LendingTree, 60% of LGBTQ borrowers "regret taking out student loans." Student loans can make it seem impossible for queer millennials to achieve common rites of passage like buying a house or even traveling the world.

If you’re on an income-based repayment plan, your studentloan payments are calculated based on your U.S. tax return. Moving abroad can reduce your U.S. income - and put your monthly payments on hold: https://remotequeer.co/feie-student-loans/

7 Queer-Friendly Online Communities for Remote Workers and Content Creators Let’s face it: remote work can be lonely, especially if you don’t have any colleagues in your area to meet up with.
