The Boston Globe Last Ditch lesbian bar story is weird
“The opposite of normalizing authoritarianism is to make it weird, to call it out and to sort of mock it,” Jennifer Mercieca, quoted by The Associated Press, Aug. 6, 2024 So weird! The Boston Globe spent a week hyperfocusing on a tiny lesbian bar in the middle...

“When you see all this and everyone fighting and especially gay people and queer people fighting against each other, that bothers me so much, because I’m like, ‘Do you understand how hard everyone’s fought to come this far with each other?'” crying Good night and good luck everyone 🤟
“When you see all this and everyone fighting and especially gay people and queer people fighting against each other, that bothers me so much, because I’m like, ‘Do you understand how hard everyone’s fought to come this far with each other?'” she said. “We can either let this divide us like it’s doing and let the rest of the world see and use it as an example of division and how crappy it is out there, or we can let it bring us together and talk to each other, and be more open and welcoming as a community, and provide that as an example to the rest of the world of what you can do with this, instead of the hate and anger. Because underneath it, it’s really about acceptance and love, and the perceived lack of that.”

The Last Ditch bar posted this on their Instagra/m asking to help support a patron who is being harassed bc of misinfo in the globe article, and it is misinfo because its fascist hype garbage. Support a community member: Cashapp- $soetheartist Venmo-@ Soenoire
Screenshot of an instagram post: Support a community member: Cashapp- $soetheartist Venmo-@ Soenoire
Our community should expect more details in the future. Today we need to address the safety of the community itself. Stop harassing Soe Noire. It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack and harass a black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar. There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe’s article. He did not call for a shutdown, nor did he call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless. As a result of this abysmal journalism, Soe has been getting additional threats, slurs, and harassment, and now he is being reported to the police over something he did not do. This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is at its core, anti-blackness hysteria.

The Last Ditch lesbian bar mask requirement story was the topic of Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog's terf ass podcast on September 17th last week. Seems likely this is where the Globe is getting the content for the "viral story". Nice work everyone, great media literacy skills.

Passage

Victoria Chang

Every leaf that falls
never stops falling. I once
thought that leaves were leaves.
Now I think they are feeling,
in search of a place—
someone's hair, a park bench, a 
finger. Isn't that
like us, going from place to
place, looking to be alive?

There is a stake

A Raspberry Sweater
by Frank O'Hara
to George Montgomery

It is next to my flesh,
that's why. I do what I want.
And in the pale New Hampshire
twilight a black bug sits in the blue,
strumming its legs together. Mournful
glass, and daisies closing. Hay
swells in the nostrils. We shall go
to the motorcycle races in Laconia
and come back all calm and warm.

But witness for her land,
And witness for her sea,
The cricket is her utmost
Of elegy to me.

The Reassurance - Thom Gunn

About ten days or so
After we saw you dead
You came back in a dream.
I'm alright now you said.

And it was you, although
You were fleshed out again:
You hugged us all round then,
And gave your welcoming beam.

How like you to be so kind,
Seeking to reassure.
And, yes, how like my mind
To make itself secure

nothing from nobody? I'm becoming the street.

Who are you in love with?

 So the feeling comes afterward
some of it may reach us only
long afterward when the moment
itself is beyond reckoning
beyond time beyond memory
as though it were not moving in
heaven neither burning farther
through any past nor ever to
arrive again in time to be
when it has gone the senses wake
all through the day they wait for it
here are the pictures that someone took
of what escaped us at the time
only now can we remember
