    Welp…I was gonna do some reading on my lunch break but a discord I’m in decided to implode. So I’m just reading up about the gossip.

    Still confused, but I guess I’m reading… Just not what I planned to read.

      Ah discords. I just checked some of the trans ones I’m in to see if it were they which imploded because a few have in the last six months. I was active in one, but meh, young queers can be super ageist without even realising it, it died soon after I left, which wasn’t my doing but I met some great folk I’m still in touch with at least.

        Yeah which is sad because we need to know our history from elder queers.

          Also it’s us who made the spaces for people so that young queers can be in safety among their peers. We just had friendship groups. Of course, it’s great that the young can feel a bit entitled to what we didn’t have and helped do things to create. That was exactly our agenda and people shouldn’t have thank us for it, it’s their right to be in safe places.

          Ageism is everywhere, not just from young queers. But yeah discord. I tried the melbourne reddit one for about forty-five seconds.
