  • You’re right, I’ll be removing the meme. It was in poor taste.

    I chose to post it because of my personal frustration with the turn politics are taking both in my southern European country and in Europe overall.

    I come from Greece and in our last elections we had a historically low voter turnout, with mostly conservative and far-right voters showing up. Which lead to a very fascist parliament. And then everyone was surprised with the results, which made me feel “well what were we all expecting when we didn’t even show up to vote?”.

    But I don’t really know how the elections went in Italy, so my comment was indeed misplaced.










  • Seeing as we just voted in three fascist parties to our parliament, I highly doubt legalisation will happen any time soon. And even if it does, I am sad to say its only purpose will be to throw ash in our eyes so we ignore the much deeper systemic issues in the country, which leave the population starving despite record profits from tourism. Hard to feel any joy about news like this, even though it’d mean I could get married to my partner in our motherland instead of another country.





  • Perhaps you’ve heard of them already, but here are a few I’ve enjoyed over the past couple of years:

    • Our Flag Means Death (gay pirates, very cozy vibes)
    • A League of Their Own (the formation of the first all-female baseball league during WW2, excellent lesbian representation, strong writing and themes)
    • Pose (a look into 80s ballroom culture, strong trans representation, but I’d only recommend the first season bc the writing quality sharply drops in the next two imo)
    • What We Do in the Shadows (queer vampire roommates and their queer human servant get into various antics, really funny)
