HAPPY PRIDE, POOZERS! I feel like the month has more significance in these embattled times, so I'm goin' all out here! A month a' the queerest content I got! ... which is gonna look very much like my regular content, cuz I'm very, very queer. I call myself pansexual when pushed, but I really prefer queer. I got specific types of people I'm attracted to, but gender just ain't got nothin' ta do with it. That definitely falls within pan, but I dunno, pan always felt more omnisexual ta me. Probably the horrible influence a' Doctor Who's Captain Jack Harkness there. I'm also very autistic, which means sometimes I don't notice stuff until it slaps me right in the face. I didn't realize I wuz queer until I was quite a bit older, an' fell in love with a cute guy. Then I thought he wuz the one exception, until - an' this is true - Tom Holland did his famous rendition of Rihanna's Umbrella on Lip Sync Battle, and then I'm like oh, okay, I like other boys too. I also figured out I was poly, which after a few embarrassingly poor starts I'm finally startin' ta get a handle on. I have partners a' different genders, who I ain't gonna talk more about cuz they deserve their privacy. I feel like I'm somewhere on the graysexual/demisexual scale, not completely but leaning in that direction, but I honestly am still figurin' that out. An' that's okay! Life is a long journey, an' there's always more ta explore, both in the world outside an' in yer own self! That's what makes life worth livin'! So yeah, if ya ever feel trapped by who ya are, or like the world's closin' in on ya, just remember I wuz in my late 30s before I realized any a' this stuff about myself. It ain't never too late ta' discover things about yerself, an' it ain't never too late fer things ta change. That ain't optimism, it's just the truth. This whole month remember, Kilowog loves ya', an' other people love ya' too. If the internet's taught me anythin' it's that there's a community a' love fer everyone, an' people somewhere who are attracted ta' every single type a' person. Be patient, be authentic, be yerself, an' love will come. Happy Pride, poozers! Wave yer flags high, throw yer bricks, an' let yer lantern lights shine! Also I hope Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines fergive me fer this meme, I love 'em both an' am really lookin' forward ta Dream Girls!

It ain't much fer ya', but fer me it means shelter, food, an' repairs fer the tech I use ta make this page! Seriously this computer's gettin' pretty old an' is startin' ta glitch, I'm gonna need ta replace it soon. Ya' can also hire me ta letter yer comic, do voiceover work, or write fer ya!

If we ain't had an announcement by then... well I ain't sure what I'll do, but Kilowog-core won't be doing DC memes until they fix themselves.
