"I’m not sure pride can exist without community"... this is so true. I don't who or where I would be without community. It is so incredibly important. This post is such a powerful testament to the meaning of pride and pride month.
Also, thank you so much for the shoutout<33 Happy Pride! :)
Loved this piece. I often find pride month deeply exhausting - there's so much we're "supposed" to be doing (parades, fundraisers, being the one queer person in a deeply heteronormative office) and so little space for what it really means to be queer. Anything I can do to create small spaces of acknowledgment and hope (and frankly, reality) about what it means to be queer is priceless especially during this month of so-called celebration. Thank you so much for sharing this piece. I'm excited to read more from you 🏳️🌈
yes, deeply exhausting! it's kind of sad that pride readings and events are often only given spotlights during one single month. thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts! <3

So much love for you at this beginning of PrideTide (because we don't have enough invented words for the pride season). Your story is beautiful.
thank you, Robin! <3
