I particularly love that they put that flag onto a lesbian of color, given that the creator of the lipstick lesbian flag is a racist (and several other ists) shitshow.
Miscellaneous me. I’ve been listening to a podcast called Attack of the Queerwolves about queerness in horror movies and I’m really into it. It’s like an audio version of Tumblr.
I’ve been starting to find out after the fact that apparently original recipe me was considered a sort of hot, cool and unapproachable type person and I cannot fathom it. I’m like I WAS UGLY AND DEPRESSED OH MY GOD. I don’t know, I literally cannot see old pictures of myself as anything but like… marginally average and largely forgettable at best. And somehow I still didn’t know.
I just read the podcast description for “Attack of the Queerwolf”:
The token queers at Blumhouse go through the horror canon to see where
on the undead Kinsey scale your faves belong. Don’t be nervous: we’ve
done this before.
I subscribed immediately.
I seriously can’t reconcile people who tell me “Oh I thought you were hot/had a crush on you/we could have banged back in the day”. Like, it causes such a mental segmentation fault because I was totally sure I was an unfuckable lump, and also I wasn’t too aloof or too cool, I was fucking terrified all the time.
Today I learned that I shouldn’t plan an outfit without trying it on in advance, and that I am hopeless at matching clothes without my wife. A lesson is learned, but the damage is irreversible.
On this day I claim my right to Lesbian Fashion Disaster.
“She makes you believe that magic exists on planet Earth because she is magical, from her voice to her presence to the way she moves,” says actress Blake Lively, Welch’s close friend. “The way she tells a story with every part of herself – really, she is unlike anyone I have ever seen. Onstage, there is such a ferocity that comes out in the way she communicates, and in person, there is such delicacy. It’s amazing how she can be both these things simultaneously.” – Florence Welch photographed by Nicole Nodland for Billboard (October 2018) [ x ]
