Now reading: The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs PhD Generations of gay men have openly and freely come out of the closet, still many struggle with self-acceptance. "The clearest, most succinct delineation of the origins and consequences of internalized homophobia, and how to address them. " - Artvoice
The cover of The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs, PhD is bold and graphic, dominated by hot pink, black, white, and gray.

Across the top is a large field of vivid magenta-pink. In small white capital letters near the upper left is the author’s name, “ALAN DOWNS.” Below it, taking up most of the upper portion, the title “The Velvet Rage” appears in very large white serif lettering.

Centered beneath the title is a black-and-white vintage photograph of five young children, apparently dressed formally for a school or special occasion. They are shown seated side by side, cropped so that only portions of their faces and bodies are visible. Most are wearing button-down shirts and ties. One boy, seated slightly left of center, stands out dramatically: his tie has been colorized the same bright pink as the cover, while everything else in the photograph remains grayscale. The visual effect immediately singles him out from the other children.

Over the lower-left portion of the photograph is a round pink seal reading “SECOND EDITION.” On the lower right of the photograph is a quotation from The Observer, printed in small white type. It describes the book as a cultural touchstone and compares it with earlier works about gay male experience.

Below the photograph is another broad band of intense pink. Across it, in enormous white block capitals, is the title again:

THE VELVET RAGE

Underneath, in smaller white capital letters, is the subtitle:

“OVERCOMING THE PAIN OF GROWING UP
GAY IN A STRAIGHT MAN’S WORLD”

At the very bottom is a dark charcoal-gray band containing the author’s name, “ALAN DOWNS, PhD,” in pink lettering.

The most striking element is the single pink tie in an otherwise black-and-white childhood photograph. It visually communicates the idea of being recognizably different within an environment where everyone else appears to conform—a theme reinforced by the subtitle about growing up gay in a predominantly straight world.

bluesky is great because there are tools to curate the experience among people who best fit your vibe but also blocking someone for being rude or messy or smarmy toward you or other people in this imaginary online bubble is a deeply personal and vicious attack how dare you

i’m always stunned when people - given ample space and opportunity to do otherwise - make the most socially uncomfortable and inconsiderate choice like, there’s plenty of space - get the fuck out of mine

I guess just to be clear- just because someone posts their nudes online does not mean that you should be saving or redistributing their images- nor does that mean they “dont care” if you do. We are still people, thank you! <3

Hurt myself lifting a boat recently. A friend recommended Qigong (气功) to help with the pain/recovery… but this is what he sent me 🙄😝 (Ticktock’s version of “qi gong) Side bar: it does feel good.

Followed a bunch of SFW lads recently (since I’m stuck at work this weekend.) Thought for sure I’d end up with some new blocks for it, but no! I’m still standing.
