For those off the lecture circuit and back to the classroom this fall, I will be there, too. "Queer Identity" returns, with tweaks, to the halls of our local college, after some hiatus. I have revised the course a bit, focusing on history and aesthetics rather than on politics and struggle. it really is more fun that way. the gen-zsters are so empowered — easily wounded yet demanding at the same time — it's easier to bypass woke and arrive straight at: amusement. But these days you have to have a rider on the syllabus just to turn the page.

Work for that is finished: i've got the intro materials out, the readings up, the canvas site complete, and intros posted. i will go in a day before and see if the classroom supports usb-c, otherwise i will have to find an adapter somewhere in the apartment.

i have decided that my new bf, rich, will come around shortly. he's strangely shy for a loud extroverted faggot with plenty to say (like me).

i am getting fat and will recut carbs when the semester starts (i will naturally have more energy). i'm assuming rich's ass is shaved because his legs are entirely tatt'd.

jeff is well, he's with me in bed, and waiting for the footlights.

my sense from the roster is that the class is mostly girls (e.g., fag hags) and so it will be me dropping endless jokes to bodies i find ugly. it will pass the time.

love andrew

can he dance to decent music? that's one that bothers me as I fade away.
