A raggedy new year01/03/2026 12:51 #60932
Last day at the AMC Market ArcadeWe say the ping pong movie Marty Supreme at the second last day of the downtown AMC. I bought tickets for the Amherst theater accidentally but they let us in anyway. Hopefully it reopens as another chain, it is nice having a theater in walking distance.

Quite nice of them to let you in with the wrong tickets. I’m super excited the theater will be opening soon under new ownership. I’m walking distance too, so I plan to go often and support them as much as possible.

shine on, Mickey and JordanCategory: allentown
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.

groupwork weekendCategory: dancing
We’re a few months into the “new” year already, and I was thinking it has been a little better than last year. Or maybe I’ve adjusted to the craziness. Then, yesterday, I was beside myself all day, wondering how our government could promise to commit genocide in the Middle East at 8:00 that night, and everyone was just walking around like everything is normal. I’m counting on the backlash from that stunt to make people wake up and do something about it. That’s my hope for the rest of this year anyway.
