tdor today
wish there was a vigil or similar on island, maybe i will try to create that next year
would have to really be careful to not let it become liberal hand-wringing with this place tho
we'd need a definite outcome, an *action* - probably donations knowing this town. And we'd want to make sure donations are going to somewhere most affected - CERTAINLY not on island. Maybe something like For The Gworls.
brooke points out that we have to not swing too far into "we are not the focus" because we don't want an audience of largely cis people getting a message of "we are the good ones and nothing bad can happen here"
fine fucking lines to walk
but also: none of the relatively privileged probably white trans people here are getting murdered. so like, perspective.
the bad things that happen here are like that pastor saying homophobic shit. or perry's, existing.
@inherentlee I haven't heard anything from family, what's the scoop on Perry's?
@elfi uhhhhhh owner's a fucken right wing nutcase
@elfi like "will rant at guests about michelle obama being a tr*nny" nutcase
@inherentlee Yikes, and to think I just thought of that place as an alternative to Zoomies back when I lived there
@elfi damn idek what zoomies is
@inherentlee It was another burger joint in uptown around the Aughts, used to be a Dairy Queen in the 90s. Heck if I know what it is now
@elfi Oh now it's Island Queen
@inherentlee Sounds like someone was nostalgic for a fast food joint that constantly failed health inspections 😆
