"In the case of Stop! That! Train!, you can also go to your local drag show and tip your queens. Put your valuation of human-made art into action. Give a dollar (or better yet, $20 or $50!) to a real queer person making real queer art."
This is a bit of a scoop we saw coming, so I've also got my hot take on the situation up!

It was ultimately the fantasy that Christianity could still be something greater than the sum of its most exclusionary parts that led me back to the Anglican Church last year, writes @charlottesheasby.bsky.social in our collaboration w/ @broadviewmedia.bsky.social.

As a trans woman, I’ve returned to the church on my own terms; I’m working with others to tear down the barriers that drive difference away
