I hit the Blue Moon on a second Tuesday for the vinyl edition of DJs in a Dive Bar. (The fourth Tuesday is open decks with CDJs, etc.) Folks, those house grooves — literal grooves! — are my choonz. I shall not rest until I get at least one friend to join me.
I wasn't that social because like a trippin' fool I was staring at the hundreds or maybe thousands of stickers and other objects on the walls. My favorite? A paper USPS label with trans glyphs on it and, "Because fuck you, that's why" written on it in black Sharpie.

- If you have to ask, you'll never know.
- It doesn't matter.
- Why not? Those two questions have the same answer; it's just that cis people never think about the latter.
