Went to Roxy's Back Door with the Purdy Persian and her fiancé. Roxy's is divided into multiple spaces, so I was foolishly expecting cheap eetz*, but what I got was nice cocktails, over-the-top decor, and an aerialist who did what I thought was a solid performance given the small (for an aerialist) space.
Conversations with the PP have a way of turning intense. She isn't nearly as alarmed at the curbs on medical care for trans people as I am; she seems to be fine with going after affirming care for kids and denied that it was happening for adults. I didn't make a scene, but in retrospect, maybe I should have.
On a related note, I told her why I'm not planning on going to Florida to say goodbye to my mother, namely that she's a veggie and DeSantis is a fascist. She offered to accompany me there. I declined the offer.
But the evening wasn't without its fascination: the Persian decries the absence of matriarchs in Western families as one regularly encounters in Iran. Also, there's no taboo against returning to the family home as a grown and educated if young adult; that taboo is especially strong in my family. Oh, and third person pronouns in Farsi have no gender. Arabic, on the other hand, has apparently been marinated in gender fluid.
*Those two are foodies. Of course they don't do cheap eetz.
