The reason I use neutral pronouns is basically that my gender is soft and unstable and I don't like other people touching it

I present: #BuryYourGays bingo - tag your fave shows/books/films 💀 (I use "show" here as a shorthand for any piece of media) This came from me thinking about what makes examples of this trope more or less annoying or egregious - I had to trim down the list to fit in the square

We've gotten a lot of feedback about how to improve the image description (or alt text) experience on Twitter. Today, we're launching 2 features to 3% of Twitter across Android, iOS, and Web: the public ALT badge and exposed image descriptions. 🧵 (1 of 6)
Screenshot of a published Tweet with an image of a cup of espresso. The exposed image description appears above the ALT badge and says: A small white mug with a tiny loop handle, with a shot of deep brown espresso and a light brown crema on top. The mug sits on a small white saucer on a medium brown wooden table.

So, my (spoilery) feels. #halfaglass I always figured Russ didn't know about Suzannah and Gally, is that the case? I always find it very poignant that he might have the song, but not much more of the context?

(If someone in my family jumps in to tell me that isn't the case, then I'm happy the show has opened that conversation. Maybe I should bring it up 🤔) #HalfAGlass

I also always appreciate portrayals of queer people in the past as being vibrant, joyful and nuanced, and connected to each other. Part of embracing queer history is going beyond 1 dimensional doom and gloom stories #HalfAGlass
