Looking for something to do tonight in, I’m co-moderating a panel on Pleasure, Play and Taboo things. It should be a fun and liberating convo w/ the creators of @handballchi.com , Witch-O-Rama and a plant medicine 🍄 advocate. Tix linked up, come thru! #gaychicago www.eventbrite.com/e/queering-c...

For some odd reason, a person thought they could extort me by screenshotting my Grindr album and threatening to send it to fam, friends and work. The thing is…I’m 44, been out for almost 20 years at this point and not ashamed to be a sexual being. So, I’ll just post it myself.

I mean, there’s an easy solution for that…

I see, we’re serving cake for breakfast

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Whew, got a bit drunk at brunch. There’s a whole night ahead of me. Reminder to pace myself.

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

There’s a palpable excitement that builds when an idea moves from a nebulous form to something more tangible and attainable. Can’t talk too much, but things are taking shape, even amidst the chaos of the moment.

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Okay. So, the final #marketdays plan is Brut tonight, Mafia tomorrow and Queen Sunday. Catch me outside!! #gaychicago

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Its choose your own adventure out here. You can generally have whatever time you’re looking for, which has been good for me 🤷🏾‍♂️

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Some reflections ahead of #marketdayschicago. Last year, I had a lot of fomo bc I hadn’t built my #queer community yet. This year…very different. So, immense gratitude. See y’all outside!

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Okay #gaychicago… what are we doing for #marketdays? I’ve got Brut and Queen tickets. What else is going on?

020

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

#chicago, can we come to a consensus on what kind of driving we’re doing this weekend? It’s #summertimechi and #pride, so I’m gonna be outside. Just lmk what we doin

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

So, I’m kinda amped for the weekend. It’ll be my first handball. No clue what to expect, but I’m hoping for a good time and an experience…we shall see #gaychicago

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

My co-conspirator, Dr Nicole Rawls, and I landed on the theme of #pleasure for our first #chimarronage led event to facilitate new pathways to #resistance through #art and #dreams. So, if you’re in #chicago on May 22, we’ll be in #humboldtpark at #DorothyDownstairs. Join us. 🎫link below

So, this was the @funkstick.bsky.social fit. It’s finally time for crop tops 😂😂. Then, I went to @cellblockchi.bsky.social to dance more. All in all a good ass night

#chicagogays what’s good? I’m doing @funkstick.bsky.social Sunday, but what else is popping this weekend?

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

I yap, but dm me, I’m adventurous enough to venture into other realms.

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Nice. I just noticed that they increased the time limit for videos. So, I’m gonna retry engaging on here more

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

I wanna engage on here, but I feel like I haven’t unlocked the way this place works. I still feel like I’m speaking into a void and then ultimately feel unmotivated to post here. Idk 🤷🏾‍♂️ how’s everyone else finding their way here?

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I wouldn’t mind posting videos here, but that 60-second limit is hella limiting. I’ll keep my eye out, tho

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

A lot of folks can only imagine resistance in models that look like martyrdom and struggle. This leaves them stuck on the same strategies and tactics that may have worked at one time but are no longer viable. That just ain’t how me, my ancestors or my culture get down. But by all means, do you.

000

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

I just knew that culture was even more conservative than ours. I already hated the way TikTok made us talk around issues. I knew that wasn’t gonna be a space for me. I’m way too Black and way too queer for that.

F*O*R*E*S*T @virgothots.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

It really feels like folks are making moves out of being reactionary, rather than having any sense of strategy or forethought. Needless to say, I’m gonna let folks pioneer this #rednote migration and see how it plays out with my popcorn.

I woke up and chose violence today…and it kinda felt good. Is this…could it be…do I have a villain arc loading???
