shine on, Mickey and Jordan
I am trying to remember the first time I had met Mickey.
I think it was way back in 2013, at what felt like the beginning of my adult life. If it wasn't at one of those Block Club parties, it was at (e:mike)'s birthday ((e:joe,58048)). I remember sitting around a fire in the backyard. I think (e:robert) had brought him not long after meeting Mickey himself.
The first photo I have is in our attic during that year's Halloween party.
It feels so impossibly long ago right now.
I remember meeting Jordan for the first time in the summer of 2021, when it finally felt like we could start leaving COVID behind.
I don't really have the words to say how I feel about all this right now. Anything I write feels wrong because nothing about this is right.
All I know it is I love and will miss them so much. They were a beating heart in the living being that is Allentown, Buffalo, our sprawling network of Rust Belt queers. I hope we can carry that light they shared.
