Love in the post!!

Thank you @traceylloyd for gorgeous throwback bookmarks and a pretty, tactile card. You've made my week so much brighter with your playful, thoughtful gift.

ID: a card with textured pot plant leaves next to bookmarks featuring 1983 Sydney Mardi Gras posters.

Prolly unpopular opinion, herein.

In several countries, including but not only Straya & Merka, over recent years but intensively now in recent months, seem to have become a common "face" to symbolise & represent the broad / umbrella "community". I wish this were not so.

Undeniably are a vital, valid & vivacious part of the larger community, & as such, seem eminently suitable as prominent representations for occasions like , , & similar. More power to their manicured & lacquered hands!

Yet, essentially, are not peeps, they're guys. At the end of the day, once they eventually remove their makeup wigs shoes sparkly dresses, they're guys blokes dudes. They're males who like being males, & far from aspiring to be able to into full permanent , would actually be horrified & appalled if someone were to offer to help them "lose their junk".

Rather than being a prominent highly visible OTT representation of the community [by which, the Great Unwashed of the Strayan / Merkan / everywhere public form an entirely incorrect view of what it is to be ], i really wish that simple everyday ordinary could be "the face".

Ofc, that's never gonna happen, for several likely reasons, but the prominent one being... the absolute dreaded antithesis of desired outcomes for "simple everyday ordinary " is to be political, to be figureheads, to be in the public glare as symbols & icons. So a vacuum is left, & as nature abhors a vacuum, up gleefully step our beloved but non-representative ... ergo, a brilliantly sequinned spotlight target of hatred for all the mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging & everywhere.

Sigh. It ain't easy, being...

has paid his debt to society and I hope he gets any help he needs to live a normal life, and that the MAGA folk leave him be so he can do so. If however he ever wants to make constructive use of that getup—hear me out—think float: all the zaniness, the same freaky sense of community, fewer gunshot wounds, and none of the legal liability.

Here's a new one that might be appreciated by @AACR

@LauraKalafarski @BrownUCancer stated yesterday after she organized and hosted our cancer center reception in 2022 in New Orleans :

@AACR is like a nerdy Mardi Gras (AND) far superior to the original!!

How is it Monday again? Anyway, here’s a video of how much fun Mardi Gras was at Sydney World Pride the weekend before last.

Pride is still a protest. But when the world seems like it’s getting darker, lighting up the night with a rainbow in the middle of a festival of love is the ultimate way of finding joy in resistance.

The used by is manipulated to ensure that Christian Purim always takes place on Third Day (which is referred to by Christians as “Tuesday”). The holiday has multiple names in different Christian cultures, including "," "," "," "," and "" (yes, like a Purim carnival). Because of the varying cultural names, it’s best to refer to the holiday by its more common name of Christian Purim.

Pic from P-TYE (Parents For Trans Youth Equity) at last Saturday.

Interested to know how many people agree this is the first time they’ve seen a group of healthy, happy and thriving trans kids and their parents/carers?

If so, please share. It’s so important that all trans youth know they’re not alone, it will get better and they are loved ❀

Barbara Kapinski is a hero. One of the 78ers from the first Mardi Gras in Australia, she's one of the few out bi+ people from that original march. She's a great speaker and writer and I hope that one day I get to meet her in person.

‘Mardi Gras has returned to its spiritual home on Oxford Street for the first time in three years after it was moved to the SCG in 2021 and 2022 due to Covid-19’
