Queer Possibilities

a vibrant Tumblr blog that serves as a dynamic space for exploring and reimagining social structures through the lens of social justice. With a keen focus on queer perspectives, the blog delves into a rich tapestry of satire, theoretical musings, and artistic expression to challenge and inspire change. It’s a place where humor meets critical thought, and art becomes an instrument of transformation—inviting a diverse community to envision a world where everyone is welcome.

We maintain some privacy without hiding, accept some labels without lying, let go of profound pain without erasing, and learn to “turn away” and yet “face things.” That means we deflate imaginary monsters of our own making while accurately recalling what has been done to us and what we have done to others. If we forget the real story, we dream ourselves back into our cellars, setting our own misremembered trauma aflame.

The mind can be melodramatic and embarrassingly shitty in its appropriation of other people’s pain. It can persuade itself to suicide, whether I do or don’t call the cops to have a chat with it. Just because I might be imitating someone or acting out a scripted drama doesn’t mean I can stop it. Imitation is, counterintuitively, one kind of realness.

“The fear of becoming old is born of the recognition that one is not living now the life that one wishes. It is equivalent to a sense of abusing the present.”

― Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963
