I’m a #gaymer who loves romps in the digital world! Books, Creative Writing, Anime/Manga, Movies, and Art help me recharge in-between shifts at work. Despite the fact I’m here to connect to others, anxiety sometimes disrupts jolly conversations.

One of the joys of living in a rural area is I got to have a conversation with my husband about how to defend ourselves against inevitable state sanctioned violence.

I was today years old when I realized there was all sorts of customization for the Wedding Welcome Sign in . Also, that you can put a custom design on it.

So, say hello to the "garden style" sign outside of our island farm with a custom "farm" design.

So hype!

I’m pretty cheeky in a dark way, often try to be funny but ymmv depending on your sense of humour.

Been on Mastodon since Oct ’22. Moved from tech.lgbt to my own instance recently. Love this place 🥰

Interests include city builder games especially 🦫, listening to podcasts (mainly left of centre UK political), decent noughties music and playing Renaissance on repeat.

Collector of colourful boxer shorts 👀 Ex smoker, current vaper, drink like a 🐟.

Work in the textiles industry on the IT side. Web dev and backend, but mainly forced to do boring non-tech stuff

Always open for a chat and the darker the humour the better.

It is important for coming out stories, and LGBTQIA+ History to be told. I am reposting this from my previous instance, not for sympathy, but so others know what my generation endured, so others will know they aren't alone, and to bring light to situations not all that different, 40+ years later.

My Coming Out Story

Up until late last year, I had only told a few people my coming out story. I now understand how important it is to share our experiences. Anyone reading these will realize they aren’t alone.

I’ve always been smaller than others my age. Add red hair, freckles and glasses, I was a bully’s favorite target.

My bullying was extreme, often physical and much more than unkind teasing or simply being stuffed in a locker.

My home life was equally troubled. My father was abusive to my mother and us kids. There was no support system for me at such a young age. Seeking help from adults always made retaliation even worse.

Early on, I sensed I was different. Clearly my classmates did as well.

My freshman year of high school some football players grabbed me, took me into a bathroom, and beat me to the point an ambulance was needed.

Their excuse was “he’s a faggot.”

My family home was on a hill, in front of our High School. (See photographs below)

The weekend after I was hospitalized, someone burned the word “FAG” into the grass on the back of the hill behind our house - facing directly into the front of the high school.

The humiliation I endured from the entire community, seeing that word burnt onto our property every day, was worse than the broken bones, stitches and bruises.

And so I was outed, believing that something was horribly wrong with me.

This was during the Reagan-Thatcher years. During my four years of high school the country was in the midst of the AIDS crisis.

The "adults" all around me mocked and ridiculed the activists seen on TV. Society seemed convinced that AIDS was a punishment for being gay.

The anxiety and stress, 24 hours a day, at school, at home, everywhere, was unbearable.

I frequently considered running away over the years. But I had three younger siblings who relied on me, especially when our father went into a rage.

After one too many times, I tried to intervene, and stand up for my mother. He did stop striking her, but with one hand around my neck, lifted me from the floor and tossed me against a wall, like a rag doll. We never spoke again.

Sadly my mother is one of the worst bigots I know. MAGA-style bigotry. To this day, she does not understand why it is racist to have a "plantation" motif in her kitchen, complete with "lawn jockey" and Aunt Jemima style figurines everywhere.
She thinks "religion can fix the sin of homosexuality."

I left that town after graduation, joined the Navy and rarely go back.

My support and love now come from friends and "found family" met along the way in the years since. My life is all the better for it.

Much older picture, actually taken during the 1980s when I attended this High School. From the top of a green, grassy hill, a large sprawling school campus is seen at the bottom of the hill.

Hi everyone, And here (it/it's). I have started a petition to get the death of a Jean, a transgender woman, investigated, as well as allegations of systemic mistreatment and discrimination against other transgender patients in Massachusetts's DMH hospitals.

This petition represents 1000's of hours of lived trauma by me and other transgender patients in MA and 1000's of hours of hard work by family, friends, and allies behind the scenes. Signing and sharing is doing A LOT!

The link to the petition is: https://change.org/justiceforjean

I'm going to keep sharing this info until it sinks in.

Young voters do not get significantly more or less politically activated. Voter suppression gets more or less effective. Ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting, prevents suppression.

People do not become more conservative as they get older. There is not an increasing difference between white GOP and Dem voters as they get older.

Black people don't live long, and many brown voters aren't born yet.

A group of charts showing the difference in Democrat leading and Republican leaning US citizens by generation and race. The chart show that for white Americans there is no significant difference in republican or democrat leaning by generation.
