1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Books I’ve been reading lately. I like seeing them laid out and tracing how one led to picking up the next. Usually not a horror/gore person in movies (I get too freaked out) but it’s been kinda fun reading scary shit, apocalyptic scenarios, monsters. Looking for more recs along that lane.

“Tenderly sweet, heart-wrenching, and comical.” Thank you @samforbreakfast.bsky.social and Foglifter Journal for such a fun conversation about crafting Alligator Tears, why Top Model was my bible as a kid, and as usual, my mom. ❤️ www.foglifterjournal.com/alligator-te...

“Empowering and entertaining… Gomez is able to keep the witty prose percolating even while chronicling a series of nearly insurmountable troubles. This is another winner for the multi-talented queer Latinx.” Thank you Jim Picheota at The Bay Area Reporter! 🐊🥲❤️ www.ebar.com/story/154092/

In this alternate cut they get in an argument about Drag Race on the train (Jesse only watches the US franchise…) but they make up bc he has some Double Scorpio on him and they spend the night queening out at a 24hrs bathhouse in Vienna. 💅🚂🥰

A scene from Before Sunrise with characters played by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke on the train smiling flirtatiously at each other. Delpy holds up the book Alligator Tears, Hawke holds up High-Risk Homosexual.

Half way through Jeanne Thornton’s new book, A/S/L, and already loving it. Vulnerable, tender-hearted, gorgeous prose, earnest and complicated characters, took me back to AOL times and playing Age of Empires/ catfishing zaddies on my kitchen computer. Put this one on your TBR 👾🎮
