Today I got a surprise FaceTime from a man I adore who lives far away with whom I hooked up years ago and he told me he just got vaccinated and wanted to know where I was and he said conspicuously proposition-y things and etc.
We had a moment of fantasizing about driving mopeds around Italy and that was the FaceTime

watched this the other night, a documentary about Glitterbox, which is a clubnight based in Ibiza but travels all over the world. First five mins and last five mins are standard "woo our club is the best" hagiography, and some of the material about the birth of disco and Larry Levan feels too familiar for anyone with a passing interest - but I otherwise really enjoyed this. It's about the dancers and their personal journeys as LGBT+ individuals, and it's got Billy Porter talking about how clubbing saved his life.

hey, fuck these companieshttps://popular.info/p/these-rainbow-flag-waving-corporations
Duke Energy has donated $75,200 to the sponsors of S514 over the last three years. That makes Duke Energy the top corporate donor to the politicians pushing this anti-trans measure. Duke Energy has donated $16,800 to Senator Ralph Hise (R), who authored S514, including $10,800 last year. Hise also vocally supported North Carolina's notorious "bathroom bill," which prohibited trans people from using the bathroom that matched their gender identity, in 2016. Hise voted against the successful repeal of HB2 the following year. Popular Information asked Duke Energy if the company supported S514 and would continue to provide financial support to its sponsors. A company spokesperson sent this statement:We remain firmly committed to supporting diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and in the communities we serve. We support policymakers on both sides of the aisle to ensure our customers and communities have a voice on key energy topics. We do not always agree with their positions on each and every issue. Our primary focus is on how North Carolina can continue its clean energy transition in a reliable, affordable way to benefit all customers.Johnson rejected Duke Energy's ambiguous response as self-serving and counterproductive. "Being silent for the sake of your business interests is detrimental to North Carolina," she said. Johnson said that Duke Energy and other corporate donors have an obligation to "stand in opposition" to a bill that is "wrong, harmful, and damaging."

xxp i kind of want to hear more about west coast vs east coast social mores tbh.
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Friday, 18 June 2021 21:51 (two years ago) link
I always thought it was the other way around honestly, like I can tell you that New Yorkers on the whole are very eager to shed our winter layers, and will do so the moment the thermostat hits 72. It's like a cathartic thing, almost. Maximum skin exposure from the first nice day in April as a rule.
I haven't spent enough time on the west coast, but my sense is that in Southern California it's mostly just the tourists who dress that way in milder weather. Californians might have fewer opportunities to wear that favorite sweater or jacket.
― Fauna Sukkot (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 19 June 2021 16:39 (two years ago) link
I got ugly stares and called an ugly name when I wore my DICK BINGE shirt with cut-off sleeves on the east coast. I'd wear that shirt into shopping malls in conservative parts of California and no one would look twice. Sometimes I'd even get a compliment!
― heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Saturday, 19 June 2021 17:10 (two years ago) link
There are other personal anecdotal tales, I just find that people on the east coast are much more likely to straight up call me a faggot to my face if I dress a certain way, and I literally had that happen once, maybe twice, the entire time I lived in California.
― heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Saturday, 19 June 2021 17:12 (two years ago) link
That sucks :(NYC isn't going to be the most representative sample of the east coast as a whole. New Yorkers are famously desensitized to pretty much whatever and anything more conventional than a bologna sandwich as hair accessory (at least 1 documented occurrence) is unlikely to turn heads.
I def experienced quite a bit of that in Long Island when I visited friends in the 90's, not that I wore anything too out there. But I later lived in a couple of pretty conservative towns in northern Nassau County (and one very small town that's really hippie) and it wasn't an issue. I don't know if times changed, or if it's the age difference.
So I know what you mean, it totally sucks, it's just been a while since I personally encountered that so maybe I've become overly optimistic about the state of things.
― Fauna Sukkot (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 19 June 2021 19:52 (two years ago) link
Actually living in these quite affluent parts of Long Island, my lifestyle and living conditions were very incongruous, more or less like a squatter. Car-free, at other times heat and plumbing-free also. I probably looked more 'different' than I realized at the time, but it was very conspicuous in other ways too, and I was constantly surprised at how tolerant the neighbors were.
― Fauna Sukkot (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 19 June 2021 20:06 (two years ago) link
To what extent I encountered resistance... It was mostly young kids who were obnoxious.
― Fauna Sukkot (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 19 June 2021 20:08 (two years ago) link
grew up just outside nyc and lived there for a time before moving to LA. pretty sure the first time anyone ever called me a faggot was when i was visiting SF for the first time.
i tend against ostentation generally but i've thought a lot about my clothes this year and how boring they all are and how i want to change that. but i also find clothes shopping fundamentally stressful - i know some people love it and are super-good at it but i have never really been one of those people. i just want some fun, stylish, durable clothes that are like...not fast fashion but not bank-breaking either.
