I am very reluctant to move anywhere, and I likely won't be unless this place becomes intolerable, but since Elon is determined to press on with that trajectory – I'm drwhofan194 (without the underscore) on Insta/Threads and now BlueSky: @/drwhofan194.bsky.social

Kit Connor being forced to out himself to (I think) prove that his casting & attendance at Pride was not queerbaiting? shows a) a warped sense of entitlement to people's private lives that exists online + b) why 'only queer actors can play queer roles' is problematic in practice.
