WATCH Pose (seasons 1-3)
Quotes from the gorgeous and fabulous (though mostly fictional character base) series “Pose” (three seasons already!) that helps us in the 2020s understand what happened with the queer community and underground balls in New York in the 1980s. A somewhat (and beautifully created and reenacted) historical narrative. “Remember, Doll, there’s not many yous out there…” [as Nurse Judy encourages Blanca Evangelista on their inclination to become a nurse, despite their school history of dyslexia.

Meaninglessness
On a somewhat abandoned factory exterior facing wall someone spray-painted the word, in its entirety, “MEANINGLESSNESS”. I sit, typing in my somewhat dilapidated apartment, a six year anniversary upon us, and a pretty bleak future of opportunities, goals, and dreams. I am not what my family tradition and identity had brought me up to be, but I was definitely molded by those experiences and that history to be basically the person I am today. Kind, sensitive, somewhat indecisive –and sexually, philosophically, intelligently, and productively CONSTIPATED. I identify as part of the queer community now, yes, but what does that mean to me?
