Done with headshots and on to business lunch of coors banquet, studying, and a weird taco salad at my favorite bar near campus.

Howdy! My name is Jack and I'm a small business researcher in Florida. I'm trying to finish up my qualitative research thesis in my current degree before gays become completely illegal in FL.

Aside from my thesis work on the management of gay bars, I've also researched paranormal tourism, heritage tourism, and methods of communicating sensitive information in restricted spaces.

Thinking a bit about my own place in time and space with a new attempt at a blog post.

The Ever Popular Tortured Transgender Artist Effect

"If the prohibition of alcohol brought forth both the beginning of NASCAR and the modernization of organized crime, then what do we imagine the prohibition of hormonal treatment will bring about?"

I suppose the pro/con of being a gay business academic currently studying LGBTQ owned businesses is that my work keeps becoming more and more relevant to the concerns of business owners, but I also am becoming less and less valuable to PhD programs.

Creating (yet another!) thread to keep track of choice things I've said items of #LGBTQ pop culture as part of my thesis work.

The peak of my academic life (up to this point) is really going to come from using classic queer media as sources for my thesis. So far I'm at:
1. The Boys in the Band (1968, 1970, 2018)
2. La Cage aux Folles (1973, 1978)
3. The Birdcage (1996)
4. Paris Is Burning (1990)
5. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973, 1975)

They all connect back to the creation of queer spaces...somehow. La Cage aux Folles is even literally about managing a drag bar.

Re: my comments about tuxedos
If there’s any queer men on this server who:
1. Own a tuxedo
2. Can be in Pensacola for the last weekend of October
Then I need to borrow you to attend an important benefit function with some of the straightest people in the world.

In the work that has already been produced on my research focus, the face off that I've seen most often is gay bar versus LGBTQ bar.
The argument from one side is that gay bar is unnecessary gendering and creates the atmosphere of a strictly men's bar. The argument from the other direction is that gay has become a more generalized term and is no longer as gendered.

What I'm concerned about is how that impacts the ROI. (joke)

Today, I'm working on the annotated bibliography that I have to submit at the end of this semester before I officially beginning my research on gay bar management.
With the bit of creative freedom I've been given on this assignment, I've chosen to include several books, plays, and movies as support for the background and necessity of my work.
As I start to post abut my work again, let's go to The Boys in the Band.

The submissive friend who recently reached out about serving me has asked what I'm looking for in the so called 'perfect sub'. I told them and I could see their hardness.

What's my answer?

It's best explained through a fantasy version of a particular type of event that keeps coming up in my professional life. I think it's a situation that some folks on this serve might also get hard for.

My proposal for a paper on paranormal tourism has been picked up by a gothic conference as a small business management workshop.

Long winded way of saying I’m having a very good week!

This Thursday is UWF’s annual Women in Leadership conference. The day, annually, when I have to put even more effort into reminding my institution that I am not a woman.
This year, after consulting with one of my former research advisors, I’ve decided to make that point entirely clear by wearing a men’s suit that I purchased for just this occasion - conferences where I don’t want to be perceived as something I’m not.

Whoops, am I screwing myself over by applying to a management PhD program at a school where my platonic partner teaches? Even if he was the one who encouraged me to come to his region to do my research? Being a gay in business gets very complicated very quickly.

Conversations about grad school with someone who works at one of the schools I'm considering:

Me: "Do you think I can safely do a PhD in Dallas with my identity and research interests?"
Him: "I think the gay bars in Dallas need a lot of help."

To other people at my institution, the weirdest thing I’ve ever done is collect faculty members like trading cards in terms of the connections I’ve made in my field.

To me, about other people at my institution, the weirdest thing they’ve ever done is not bother to learn anything about anyone they’ve ever taken a class from, outside of their last names.

And it’s just: Now who’s the one getting so much offered help on their thesis?

Looking forward to the moment in my transition when I can change my display name on LinkedIn from 'EJ' to 'Jack'.

One of the best uses of my academic connections is just being able to DM people on LinkedIn about weird research questions about things that bother me in different retail stores.
Feature of this week: questions about supply chain issues for specific dairy products in sustained demand.

Love going to the gay cowboy bar because I get misgendered a lot less than at the downtown gay bar. The population of the cowboy bar is also more likely to compliment my ties over the downtown bar population fondling my suspenders.
