'The program is designed to educate drag artists in harm reduction principles and encourage them to integrate the messages into their performances. From explaining how to use Narcan—the drug overdose reversal drug—to explaining safer sex practices, trained artists will be able to empower other community members.'
I want to sort through the rest of the photos and video I took of my kids' first #dragShow to post from my computer so I don't break my thumb typing alt text, but here's a really cute one of them dancing with Boujee Cherry, the queen I interviewed previously for our Dungeons and #dragQueens show (which you can watch at toptopicstv.org/dndqlive ). You can see a bunch more photos I posted already on my Instagram @toplesstopics or wait until I edit together a video 😋
So excited to premiere my never-before-seen March 2024 interview with the hilarious Dungeons and #DragQueens improv comedy show @dndqlive TODAY at 12pm pst at https://youtu.be/aO_kcqcFCLg !! Also featuring @boujeecherry and @kharismakween (follow them on Instagram and say hello from Cleo of Topless Topics!!)
Hi everyone. I'm going to share a new #introduction.
I'm a #nonbinary (they/them) movement journalist in my 40s, currently based in Central #Texas. From 2022 until today's layoffs, I was Digital Editor at the @TexasObserver. I've been a writer, journalist and editor since at least 2011, when I got my start on the primordial political blog Firedoglake. My involvement with the Occupy Wall Street movement helped make me a journo and I've always worn my bias on my sleeve.
New video coming out this Friday-- #ToplessTopics interviews the December #Portland cast from the "Dungeons and #DragQueens Live show"! As usual, you'll be able to watch the #patriarchy-approved "female-looking nipple"-less version at https://www.youtube.com/@toplesstopics or the patriarchy-UNAPPROVED version on my website https://www.toptopicstv.org/dndQLive :D You can visit that page now to find links to all the people in the interview as well as other resources, and enjoy watching the video this Friday at 11am PST !
Today's review! Damage Controlled by Miski Harris, Don't Ask, Don't Tell book 3:
"Teddy Washington, aka Phoenix, has entered a nationally televised drag queen contest... Gregory Grayson is a vet who returned home with a traumatic brain injury... amazing. Five stars."
A massive, 90-day sting operation in Florida has led to the arrest of 123 men in relation to human trafficking, and as commentators online were quick to point out, none of the arrested appear to be drag queens.
Top story: “When I was growing up, that’s when [RuPaul’s] Drag Race started. So VH1 was on and my grandma called me into the room and told me, ‘Sit down and watch, this is what you’re going to be.’”
I am so excited to finally share my @TexasObserver feature on the #Drag Queens of Austin and how they're defying the threat of legal crackdown and persecution in the streets, from the magazine. I spent months putting this together and I am so proud of how it came out... https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban/
Die #AfD versucht immer wieder #Dragqueens in die Pädo-Ecke zu framen. Dabei würden 9/10 Menschen die Polizei rufen, würde der Dude im Gauland-Kostüm in der Nähe eines Kindergartens gesehen werden.
A sneak preview of the September/October issue of Texas Observer magazine, featuring stories by Eva Ruth Moravec, Kit @oconnell, Reynaldo Leaños Jr. and @gabrielarana.
The new issue will be arriving in mailboxes, inboxes, and at select newsstands soon.
Otra vez ganado la Perralta ? Pero ya no basta ? Se merecía ganar Gala Varo ! Y punto.
Estoy bastante enfurecido con esta situación.
Y dejan a Matraka última ? Buaah. Pues ya no me gusta. #DragRace#México#DragRaceMéxico#GalaVaro#final#DragQueens
