When the taxi driver goes on a massive rant that you do not agree with in the slightest but you'd rather not be chucked out the motor on the Kingston Bridge
Lawrence made history last night, and changed the Scottish scene forever with her victory. If you can't be positive or at least cognisant of that, have a look at yourself.
So how many more femme queens have to quit drag due to their mental health being gubbed before we as a scene actually grow up and confront the glaringly obvious problems and hardships that femme artists face?
Answer me that. Quickly.

You've interviewed the only two anti-union members of staff and the owner pleading poverty in a thinly veiled case of biased reporting. This article is laden with inaccuracies but then not surprised given its the The Times. If you want truth, come to the 16 union members.
Poor Jordan is gonna join the ranks of folk like Gillian McKeith, Jan Leeming, Helen Flanagan etc as the cunt who gets voted to do about 27 Bushtucker trials
I cannot pick a winner honestly.
#TeamLawrence
and
#TeamEllie
because they're both incredible and should bring the crown tae Scotland,
#TeamBimini
because Bimini,
but also if anyone could lipsync their way to the crown I'd bet aw ma pennies on Tayce so
#TeamTayce
Can you imagine if they dropped an entire season of Drag Race in one go? RuPaul would open his own version of Satellite Five from Doctor Who and have about 60 seasons filming at once. Cunts would get transmatted in whether they did drag or not.
See if you want a career in this scene that fucking badly? Don't put everyone's health and livelihoods at risk by COMING OUT WITH A FUCKING POSITIVE COVID TEST.
@FridaSapphic
I feel like they would also complain if it wasn't hosted by an actual drag artist or like a Holland situation where its just someone who's been put in drag
I'm home. I can't apologise enough for how stressed and worried everyone must have been earlier, as people said, its not like me at all and if there's anything to be learned its that I should really take a charger with me when going out. Again, I'm really sorry.
"I was drunk"
"I was on drugs"
"I have mental health issues"
"I can say it, I have autism"
I'm begging you people, take some fucking accountability for your actions. Regardless of whatever factors be it substances or neurodivergence or mental health issues, you SAID these things
This year we’ve enlisted a new member of the team to make Christmas even more PHENOMENAL. Keep your eyes peeled for our FAIRY GODMAW who’ll be popping up throughout December 🎄 ✨

@mstinajustina
's 1st anniversary, you're genuinely one of the best things that's ever happened to me and I'm so grateful for every second, ilysm bby 💗
If you're seriously someone who pays entry into a queer space just to make the entire night/show about you and let your arsehole hang out, please kindly fuck off. Everyone else has paid their entry to watch a show and support local drag, not watch you barge your way to the front
With the announcement that outdoor events can resume, I propose an ACTUAL drag Royal Rumble. We'll build a ring in the middle of Kelvingrove, and have 30 of Scotland's finest compete.
The winner gets a sickening supply of Palermo's garlic dip and a cash prize.
This is genuinely embarrassing. Ableism, racism, transphobia, jokes about Palestine and George Floyd, jokes about other people's disabilities. The Scottish drag scene is a mess and we desperately need to clean up. Now.
I literally just think that Jinkx Monsoon is the smartest and funniest person on this planet. I could watch her as Judy Garland just read the yellow pages.
Citizens of Scoutland, it is I.
I am checking in to announce that outwith hosting, producing and occasionally twirling at Infectious, I am stepping back as an active performer in the Scottish drag scene.
TW // Trigger Warning
Emotional manipulation
Sexual abuse of others
There's one other thing that I think people need to hear from me, after this, it won't be mentioned again.
The only good thing that I wanted on my 2020 bingo card was
@willam
acknowledging that Munter stuck Amanda Lepore on a megabus. What a time to be alive.
We would greatly appreciate if everyone respected our privacy right now, it was a completely amicable decision and we will always be friends and work colleagues going forward, thank you in advance 💜
Can't believe I'm still having to justify the SHOES that I wear to perform in drag. Some idiot in the smoking area last night said they'd rather see me in stilettos.
1) that's not who i am
2) I'm literally fuckin disabled, I'm not about to paralyse myself for your entertainment
The year is 2037. I am in the bottom 2 on DRUK with an elderly queen called Blu Rinse. The reanimated remains of RuPaul tells us we have to lipsync spoken to word to "I'm sorry to hear your grandma passed away yeah" (Hex Hector Remix).
Double shantay.
Not exactly unpopular but they need to get some actual drag artists on the judges panel. I'm tired of strong talent being brought down because some cunt from a Netflix show doesny like the colour of their dress.
"If there's another lockdown I'M NOT DOING IT 😤😤😤"
Some of you barely followed the rules during the first lockdown, don't act like you're some sort of rebel.
I love my girlfriend so much and she made me so proud last night, however I will need some time, potentially locked away in a hotel room, to process the fact she has a better competition track record than me.
You Drag Race fans all complain about why certain people don't come back for All Stars. It's because you fucking bully them and spout complete vitriol about them on public forums that they don't wanna go through the emotional wringer a second or even third time in some cases.
tw// mental health, grief
Yesterday was a bit of a wake-up call for me, I've been hitting the self-destruct button quite hard since we lost my stepdad in September, and rather than actually addressing it I've just thrown myself into life. (1/?)
There is actually something severely fucked about the infrastructure of the Scottish drag scene at the moment, particularly in Glasgow, and it needs to be sorted. I cannot watch anymore of my friends feel like they can't do what they love anymore. Fucking sort it out.
Its been brought to my attention that my medical issues have been getting brought up in conversations involving adults in this scene and some teenage stans, and in a very frankly fucking disgusting way. My condition was life-threatening at one point and to hear it being joked 1/2
The BEST network of family and friends and a wonderful girlfriend who can support me and help me through this. I'm still gonna be the very hilarious person you all know and love, but I will have my bad days. I've acknowledged that I need help and im gonna get it very soon 💜💜
Hi,
@ReeseSpectrum
, do you remember that mini essay you put up saying you didn't support people who were problematic etc? Well, this photo has aged it like fucking cheese x
tw// ableism
I've been given permission to anonymously post this on someone's behalf. Another horrible example of ableism perpetuated in the scene. If you haven't signed the petition yet, please do so here
RuPaul, you wanna chastise the performers for seeming too "local" when you forget they literally had to immerse themselves in their local scenes and take up second jobs to keep themselves afloat during a fucking pandemic. How dare you enforce such an unnecessary hierarchy
People tweeting "The Queen has died" tonight has me wondering if it's actually about the Queen or if people are taking Pangina being eliminated that badly
tw// extreme weight loss, illness
4 years ago today, I was finally discharged from hospital after nearly 2 months of battling illness, at one point during which I was given 24 hours to live. I'm not upset by this picture because I remember where I am now. I'm a survivor ❤
There are a lot of cis men in this scene who really need to learn what fucking boundaries are and need serious lessons on how to respectfully treat other queer people. I've heard too many stories of transphobia, misogyny, racism and general prick behaviour in queer spaces. ENOUGH
Cis male gays like to play the "i got bullied in school for being different" card and claim they're hard done by then turn their backs on the trans/non-binary people who GAVE THEM THEIR FUCKING RIGHTS.
Really fries my nut when guys are put off by the fact I have a stoma.
Like babe, this thing's keeping me alive, all you're doing is keeping me waiting, bye xxx
Today we say goodbye to Pete, its going to be the toughest day of my family's lives, but we will celebrate his incredible life and give him the sendoff he truly deserves 💙
If you are still friends with someone after they've been outed by MULTIPLE sources as a paedophile and sexual abuser, even after posting some highfalutin bollocks seemingly acquitting you of any association, you're a cunt.
I will always belong to this scene, and I am grateful for all it has done, but my talents will be better utilised as a showrunner.
Much love,
The Man
The Master

It was around this time 5 years ago that I was hospitalised with severe IBD and told at least three times that I had 24 hours to live.
I've had a pretty damn good 24 hours since then.
So amazing to see so many people at the rally on Buchanan Street today, just shows what can be done when the community unites together, we will not let those bastards beat us 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Lucy and Chanel have genuinely created one of the best nights, not just in the drag scene but the entire Scottish queer scene 😭
I haven't heard a crowd pop as hard as when Money Success Fame Glamour started playing last night
And if you think there's no misogyny, there is. I have watched men who are the drag equivalent of a fucking Bounty in a Celebrations box call women "wee lassies in makeup." As a producer, I've been told I'm "too woke" just because I book a lot of women at my shows
They should've just locked us down in November. The tiers system was a fucking shambles. Literally nothing is gonna change because the same stupid self-righteous fucking smelly bastards are gonna keep having parties and ugly people are still gonna not wear masks. Its a joke.
(Even though they are booked purely for their talent). I've had some of my friends cry to me because they were refused a gig because they were women or because "we have a b** queen already." The art of drag has evolved so much, so should the treatment of women. End of.
Before the revelations this week, a lot of the problems in the Glasgow drag scene were because of RuJazzle. Any attempts over the years to address these problems were met with the same dismissive attitude that Ru has displayed towards these SA allegations.
I think the queer scene expect too much from her nowadays. Content is content and she's doing everything she can despite living with an actual chronic illness.
But I can't go on like this forever. Today I took the first steps to actually begin the healing process and have been referred by my GP for further psychological assessment and potentially even some counselling. It's not all bad, Summerslam is next week and I've got (2/?)
Nobody:
Edinburgh queens posting captions on insta: The Sugar Tax is something that has plagued us all. I, for one, miss when Irn Bru contained 37% sugar, it really unleashed a certain level of euphoria in me comparable only to lust.
