  1. So, not long ago I was intrigued by a British magazine called the New Escapologist, which is all about getting out of the ratrace, etc. Something that really resonates with me right now. So I ordered the latest issue out of curiosity.

    Very good mag, but one piece really struck home, about how there's a paradox in queer life, that one often seeks to both influence the mainstream world while simultaneously seeking to withdraw from it and have one's own sphere. I was like BOOM this explains SO much.

    So I purchased an online subscription (cheaper) and got into an email chat with the editor. I told him about what sold me on it...

    And he is gushing with thanks! He identifies as bi/pan himself but always tries to de-code himself as queer, but now wants to elevate the queer content and out himself and be more loud. I'm like, damn, dude, GO FOR IT!

    So yeah, here I am, experiencing that paradox of queer life. I try to live in my own secluded sphere, but here I am influencing the world at large. Just by being honest with someone about something I liked.
