Looking at Blotch’s Out of Position art again and thinking about how 2000s all the fashion looks in retrospect. The baggy jeans feel almost nostalgic now

Idk bluesky is kinda boring but at least when I post on here I generally don’t have people with usernames like “1488rapist” calling me a faggot and telling me to kill myself

Twitter vs Bluesky discourse is dumb but I have to say I’m kinda preferring this spot because I haven’t heard anything about the ******* *** in **** **** over here

Everyone bookstore is required to have 10000000 romance novels with flat corporate pastel cover art and descriptions like “He’s the moody and sensitive 6’ 7” star champion hockey player with a dark past. She’s an aspiring writer with irritable bowel syndrome. How will they ever make this work?”

I have to speak my truth. Yknow that moment in Yuri on Ice when the camera cut away from Yuri and Victor and everyone kept insisting that they kissed off screen? I think that was bullshit. I think we all got queerbaited

豆知識 is such a cute word for “fun fact.” A lil bean of knowledge

Idk if this is weird but I really judge a person’s fundamental decency by how they react to little boys being feminine/liking dresses/etc. it’s genuinely insane how many people act disgusted by it and it’s become a sort of litmus test for me

its important to reject Harry Potter because it's fueling transphobic bullshit, but it also just feels important as part of a larger rejection of this top-down campaign of mental and emotional infantilization that all of us are being subjected to these days

One of the funniest things about rewatching old episodes of on cinema is remembering how many awful 3D animated films were being released in the early 2010s. Like wdym they made a movie about anthropomorphic snails doing the Indy 500

Love my older gay British friends

It’s kind of wild how badly so many British people mispronounce Japanese lol. They’ll put so much effort into pronouncing French or German words than just go all in on calling Hiroshima “hi-ROH-shih-ma” and Asakusa “uh-SAH-kuh-sa”

Visited Poznan castle and they had a reliquary literally containing a lock of Napoleon Bonaparte’s hair

I love to read Wikipedia articles about Poland while I am in Poland

Also I love Europe everyone here smokes cigarettes and loves to dance (even the Germans sometimes)

Patrick! @tragicgay.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I love having friends and being a friendly person. I’m really glad I’ve become a person who other people trust and like to be around, especially since I felt socially maladroit for so long growing up (I’m drunk and introspective forgive me)

Tore it up on the dance floor with a bunch of fellow queer academics and man I missed this. I forgot how much I love dancing

Anyway, I met a Polish celebrity today

There’s something really sinister about the British media that is hard to put my finger on. Part of it is the way that it’s entirely composed of elites, but more than that it’s the way it seems to be able to shape consensus on a whim and wield it like a cudgel that is frightening to me

Meet me at the gay bar in Poland if you wanna get your ass kissed

Currently in Poznan, Poland for a conference and Jesus Christ this city is beautiful

I’m going to be brave and do a hot take: I cannot stand Yayoi Kusama’s polka dots or her dumb pumpkins and the whole thing always felt like a form of elder abuse

Patrick! @tragicgay.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

The exhibition of Sadao Hasegawa’s work was so good ^_^ I got to speak to a room that was like 50/50 young women and older gay men about the joys of Japanese gay art and porn from the 80s

as a friend pointed out, probably the biggest change in the 2010s-2020s in this context has been the emergence of clusters of furry communities in certain cities like Seattle, Boston, the Bay Area etc. which has changed the convention/online dynamic. but those changes aren't equally distributed

1110

Patrick! @tragicgay.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

seeing discussions about whether furry is a "fandom" vs a "subculture" is reminding me of my surprise of going to kemoket for the first time in 2017 decade ago and realizing it wasn't a "con" in the sense I thought of them, but purely an event for buying and selling dojins and merchandise

there's so many things in this world that simply aren't my business and im very grateful for that
