Child marriage is just one of the things we think of as being ‘in the past’- like the ridiculous number of my ancestors who married under the age of 12 (watch my latest YouTube video for more on that! 🫣)- but unfortunately it’s still very much part of life in 2024, even in ‘developed’ countries like the USA…
So maybe we should do something about that?
Remember to register to vote and/or check you are still registered. Push politicians to pass legislation that could better the lives of young people ♥️
(Because it is absolutely not normal to allow someone to marry a 12-year-old, oof!)

But that’s not what chain mail or any new form of chain messaging would say.
Instead, they prey on people with OCD, general paranoia and those with lower tech or reading literacy in order to collect data and spread all sorts of misinformation.
It’s absolutely cruel and I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to fear and it is absolutely ok to break the chain ⛓️💥

One of the reasons I love fanfics is that fanfiction is so gay! Queer fanfiction certainly meant a lot to me in the ‘oh wait, we DON’T all fancy other girls?’ realisation stage. So in today's video, we are diving deep into the world of fanfiction 🕵️ 🔎
What is 'bury your gays'? Why do so many straight people read gay fanfiction? and most importantly... was it fanfiction that made us gay?!

RuPaul has no doubt been monumental in bringing Drag culture to mainstream media and shining a light on Ballroom history. That being said… with culture so rich and history that runs so deep… how can one person be the face of it all?
As wonderful as RuPaul’s contributions to the culture have been, we need to cultivate a space in which we can safely criticise RuPaul and the show ✨WITHOUT✨ tearing down Drag Race as the institution that it is (or getting all weirdly right wing about drag queen story time 🙃)
For more of my drag-related hot takes watch my new YouTube video about RuPaul- link attached!
Who agrees that a bit of healthy criticism is a good thing…?
