Lauren , your moment of revelation about your sexuality brought tears to my eyes. Seriously. As the character in Robert Galbraith 's "The Cuckoo's Calling" said of such, it is a Kairos moment. “the telling moment. The special moment. The supreme moment.” On to November!
It's actually by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym, Robert Galbraith. But you likely know that! Fabulous series she created in these adult mystery novels.
“we owe it to each other to summon the energy that shift requires. There may not be a parade this year, but we can make certain there is still Pride. That means dreaming, and voting, and dancing — it means getting by with the help of our friends. Queer futurity is a utopia that is better than anything we can possibly imagine, and a choice that we make all the time.”
That’s right! It is harder when we can’t organize physically, but its absolutely essential and there’s a lot to work towards until the next time we can get down in the streets together. Dancing in quarantine is my new favorite thing — does so much good!
Thank you for this! My friends and I have also been distraught about Pride being cancelled and your words are a remember of what it's really all about.
I love Charlotte Clymer's tweet, it makes me think of a tumblr post I saw joking about what to call 2020, since 2018 was twentygayteen and 2019 was twentybiteen. "In 2020, we vote" one person replied. I can't think of a better sentiment to hold on to this year.
IN 2020, WE VOTE. +Of course, you follow Charlotte! She brings me so much sanity, and so do you. Thank you for always reaching out with such thoughtfulness.

THE SUPREME MOMENT. Goddamn, I love that. Also, I officially have a new book to read..

Good read. It freaked me out though because my name is Ellyn. 😂
Ahaha should we make out (jk 😉)
If we’re both still single or poly after the virus, I’m down! How many people get to say that they made out with two Ellyn’s spelled like ⬆️.
