.@UHouston has heartbreakingly disbanded their LGBTQ Resource Center, a beacon of love & support for queer Coogs for over 13 years.
Words can't express my rage towards legislation like SB 17, so instead I'll use them to express my love & appreciation for the staff of @UHLGBTQ.
Okay, so y'all know how Houston's getting 2 Pride parades this June? New Faces of Pride just hosted their first community meeting tonight and halfway through Q&A, the Houston Pride 365 president came forward and let me just say, I'm glad I recorded it all lol bc drama! *sung* 1/3
I was here to cover the meeting for Queer Voices (community radio, 90.1 FM KPFT) and recorded all 1 hour and 5 minutes of it (with the drama starting 15 minutes in and never stopped!!) There's a bit of backstory between these two orgs, but once you're caught up, it is a RIDE! 2/3
It all started at Q&A when I asked New Faces of Pride if they'd ever come to the table & meet with Houston Pride 365 (no). By the end of the night, they both agreed to a joint public meeting. But there was so much shade along the way!
Follow @QueerVoices for the full story soon!
Lost my phone on Saturday (lmao don't ask) and ngl I'm so addicted to that thing, I feel naked in public without it in my pocket. Even stopped myself before entering HEB, fearing I wouldn't be allowed in without it. I need help (but first, a new phone lol)
Dang, there really is no such thing as free... The T-Mobile salesperson lied to me and didn't tell me they're opening a 2nd phone line under my name.
Anybody pay more than $35/month for their line and want to join my family plan? š
Forgot to buy a Christmas gift bag/wrapping paper so I'm recycling an old birthday gift bag and if anyone tries to give me shit I'll just tell them it's for Jesus's birthday
I'm such a bad gift giver.
Went to a white elephant and put an unwrapped calculator box in the pile. Unsurprisingly, it was the 2nd to last item to get chosen.
Inside was, yes, a calculator, but also a letter with 7 long math problems equating to a gift card number & infoš
While I appreciate the solidarity from this member of European Parliament, are there any local (Houston/Texas) politicians speaking out today in support of the Palestinian people amidst this horrifying attack on Gaza? My timeline seems to be full of genocide apologists...
Sometimes, as an Android user, I respond to iPhone users' texts with "Loved '...'" or "Laughed at '...'" just to incorporate a lil language justice in my communications š„°
*last official event for now!
@UHLGBTQ Resource Center was years, if not decades in the making. However many more years/decades it takes to bring a dedicated queer-affirming space back to campus, so be it.
There will be another LGBTQ Center at the University of Houston.
Y'all, don't ask me how but I just watched Pride & Prejudice for the first time and I canNOT stop giggling and kicking my feet up in the air! like, what has Tom Wambsgans DONE to me?!

Official statement from @UHouston below.
UH LGBTQ Resource Center is still operating! The signage was "premature," but queer Coogs are still holding their breath for news on the new "reconfiguration."
I can only wonder how SB17's legislators are feeling about our grief & panic.
