Drag is the coolest, most anti-elitist art form to ever exist. All schools must implement a drag curriculum, because it would do wonders. Kids will learn to love and embrace themselves and others and not think that they are never enough and that they have to “win” or be the best to have value.
I was gonna write something about growing up in hk, a toxic environment where elitism is encouraged and how that manifests in competitive sports (fencing is problematic y’all can i have 13 years of my life back pls) and how i wished all of that never happened but cba, so i’m just gonna sign off with “existence is resistance” and it starts with drag.

People say your understanding of love changes
Beyond anything you can ever imagine
the moment you have children.
I have never loved a man
more than my mother loved me
and I was once sure that my best shit was breakup poetry
I used to think that’s how my crew came to know me
I leaned on it so hard you would think it was Codeine
Used to be so focused on the powerful forces that broke me
I let go of what made me whole.
See I was told that love was supposed to be unconditional
There is nothing you wouldn’t sacrifice, even sanctity of life
Like I’d take a bullet for you, I love you so much I could die
But when I was sixteen recovering from suicide
There was only her that made me cling to life
To promise to try, for her sake, not mine.
That’s when I learned Love can be begrudging sometimes.
Like I deserved to hurt to preserve her heart
Cuz I was not my own from the very start
For one, from her body I was painfully carved
And to this day she still bears the Caesarean scar
So I kept it pushing even though it was hard
Through the endless blister packets and the marks on my arm
Battling depression was like fighting the dark
Truth be told I didn’t ever think I’d make it this far
Look, if I do it it by the book, I’m already skipping steps
Love one another like yourself but myself I forget
It’s a reluctant sort of tolerance instead
I guess I dress myself and keep myself fed
but again and again my heart beats in my chest,
I resent the rhythm unrelenting, unending, offending entropy
I’m convinced that loving me isn’t meant for me
I’m the exception to the rule and it bends for me
All of this empathy I have is exempt from me
Take the best of me, ripped from my chest you see
I’ll love you so much there’s nothing left for me
Because, when a boy tells me he loves me
the first thing I ask is “why”?
And when I ask my mom the same thing
She says cuz you are mine.
I wake up in the morning and put a substance in my body that I hope my daughter never touches

Introducing duo act by @wudgae and @holok3holok
A superstar Christie grew lonely and decided to order a robot online. Little did she know this robot 🤖 Holok has a dream of becoming a starship ranger. Together they travel to a remote planet Queertopia and are greeted by the Queertopians.
About @holok3holok
Once upon a time, there were a group of alien people wandering around across the universe, hidden between the cracks….
Their discourse surrounds the ideas of precarious life, displacement and dysphoria through speculative fabulation and void punk.
The gender-neutral persona takes inspirations from sci-fi
and circus performers, expressing a profound sense of loss and sadness.
