I will remember Friday March 6. It will probably be the last time for a while I will be in a crowded club. It was for the Nefertitties drag night in #Brooklyn hosted by my dear friend #Egyptian queen AnaMasreya. Here we are in our Cheetah prints for Cheetah Gurlz Night
It also starred Mexican queen Koko Rokokko and Palestinian queen Eva Laurent
AnaMasreya asked me to say a few words and I will post the video of what I said soon.

TL:DR there is no liberation without queer liberation, without gender liberation, without sexual liberation.
The revolution starts in my cunt.
Nefertitties - I mean COME ON! - was so gloriously and joyously queer! To hear AnaMasreya explain how drag has given her power - a gay Egyptian man who was always shamed for being too feminine - was a reminder of why I fight. Fuck the patriarchy. I 💜 you AnaMasreya ❤️✊🏽💜🌈

Jennifer Rubin is a reminder of why I don’t support a woman just because she is a woman. What are her politics? I don’t want a woman in power just because she is a woman. I want a woman who dismantles not upholds patriarchy.
Take Gina Haspel, head of the CIA: My feminism does not demand that a woman have an equal opportunity to torture, alongside men. Torture is no less wrong because a woman, not a man, carries it out. google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…
We must ask more than “Can a woman be president?” Or Vice President? We must ask equally pertinent questions: Is that woman feminist? Is she invested in dismantling patriarchy? Will she use her power to uphold or diminish patriarchy? google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

A Thank You thread.

My brother is a cardiologist & his wife is OB/GYN. People’s hearts will still need taking care of & babies will continue being born. Worried sick about them.

- Thank you physicians, nurses, orderlies, all who work in hospitals & clinics

#CoronavirusOutbreak
Thank you all the grocery store employees - those we see in aisles and as we pay, those we don’t see but who are working in storerooms or delivery, those who clean and keep surfaces sanitized. Thank you all. #COVID19 #CoronavirusOutbreak
Add your thank you’s in reply

I don’t know what lies beyond the next two weeks. It’s obvious now that this will last way beyond two weeks. And to be honest: I have not yet fully absorbed that. I feel like I’m in the middle of a fugue state. #COVID19 #CoronavirusOutbreak
I have never been a planner so I rarely think beyond two months - a blessing and a curse. This is like a new form of double consciousness: life as we were planning and life as a pandemic steers it.
##COVID19 #CoronavirusOutbreak
I don’t have the TV on all day. I get my mews online. Sometimes when I’m reading a book, or not refreshing social media, I forget for a second that we are in the midst of a global pandemic And when I remember, I am grateful for the part of me that is a friend to chaos. #COVID19

/Your story doesn't have to be a tragedy/

Baekhyun draws his eyes, he keeps it sharp, ferline like, a temptation. He's wearing a grey blouse, unbuttoned on the first three, faint patterns of leaves that he didn't pay attention to before purchasing,
he's ready. The epitome of a dark horse rising from the flame, what those people never thought he would do一he stands here now, a walking sex machine, a fuckin melancholy that doesn't give a shit about anything anymore.

His phone buzz, its a low ring.

The time has come.
The text is someone he's expecting.

To Baekhyun.
I'm down stairs.

The curve of the male's lips says that he's more excited to see the caller than the party they're attending later.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Last year, Villanova outscored Marquette 156-113 in the first 34 minutes of the teams' two games.

In the last six minutes, #mubb outscored Nova 42-9.
Ever since Villanova entered the new #BIGEAST in 2013-14, they've only lost at home three times.

All four of their home games against #mubb in that time have resulted in double-digit Wildcat wins.
In each #mubb game this season, at least one of the Golden Threeagles – Sam Hauser, Markus Howard or Andrew Rowsey – has scored 20+ points.
