Imagine Julie and the Phantoms from P!ATD’s perspective for a second tho. First your opening band at this weirdly tiny venue can’t make it because “the bus drove itself” so they’re scrambling to find you an opening act. They book a local teenager and her holograms. You eat sushi with her roadie. Then the stage crew tell you the teenager has run into the street and you need to go on now, so you’re scrambling to put on your tophats or whatever (idk I was a FOB kid) and then you get another knock on the door and they’re telling you it’s ok, false alarm, the teenager found a flower and will be performing. Right. Great. So you sit down for approximately three minutes and thirty-four seconds before yet ANOTHER knock on the door and they’re so sorry, please grab your tophats again the teenager played 1 (one) song and then her holograms disappeared. You go on stage. There’s 47 people in the audience and Trevor Wilson is vomiting in the wine bucket.
peak adhd bonding is when the person you’re talking to changes the subject but you can determine exactly the train of thought that led them there. neurotypicals could never
Hey can we queers please remember that the rural queer experience has unique challenges thanks
Coming out is different when you know if you come out to one person you risk the whole town knowing. Coming out is different when religion is entwined in your entire community. Being queer is different when you can’t trust that your doctor or therapist will stay confidential. Being queer is different when conversion therapy is subtle and normalized. Transitioning is different when there aren’t gender clinics or gender therapists for 50 miles. School is different when other kids are put at risk by being seen with you. Can we stop acting like there aren’t queer people living in rural areas and start supporting them
