Text- from Walking Distance Brewing Company

Happy Pride month! We are here another year to celebrate Pride with you! Thank you for your love and support through a difficult year of slander and harassment. Your support has not just kept us afloat but has made us thrive! Our inclusive community isn’t here just for Pride - we’re here all year. It's not always easy being inclusive in town. The library, community organizations, and yes, even Walking Distance have been targets. In this post, we're going to discuss the attacks against the library and against us. Last June, the library had a pride book display [1]. On July 3rd, (now ex) city councilmember Deb Groat wrote an email to the library at the request of the Union Faith Family Coalition [2]. In this email, she wrote: “I am deeply offended by explicitly sexual material on display in the children’s section of our library. Shame on you and your staff for pandering to any social agenda in displaying reading material to children.” [3] Later on in the email she wrote: “The library may well want to pass a levy in the future, or have input in a community TIF.” [3] On November 27, 2023 - Deb Groat was joined by city councilmember Mark Reams in voting for a TIF that would divert money away from the library for 30 years. Luckily, the extension did not pass. [4] According to Union County Faith Family Coalition’s founder, Mark Reams is a member. [2] Deb Groat and Mark Reams vote together to divert money from the library. Let’s move on to us. In June 2023, we had a drag show. On July 8th, Mark Reams’ wife, Leslie Reams posted on Facebook calling Walking Distance “Little Epstein Island” [5] joining in the same rhetoric spread by the Union County Faith Family Coalition, who nicknamed us, “Walking Distance Grooming Co.” Additionally, on April 15th, 2024 - while on-shift at her job, Leslie Reams called us a “den of depravity bar [that] preys on children,” and called our bartenders and customers, “pedophiles” and “drunks.” Let’s be clear. Leslie Reams, the members of the Union County Faith Family Coalition, and their followers have never called law enforcement (to our knowledge) - something we would expect and want to happen if pedophilia was happening. Law enforcement has never been called, we suspect that even they know that it’s not true. We have heard many rumors, as bad as, “Walking Distance is full of pedophiles” to more innocuous rumors that hurt our reputation. Our guess is that the same people who don’t believe we’re pedophiles, but want to demonize queerness, also know their audience and are able to tone it back to do the damage they can. We saw sales dips directly following Leslie Reams’ statements. We have heard city council members echoing similar rumors. Last summer, we had around 10 citations against the owner’s house and the business from the city and council - none of these citations asked us to remedy anything (except for the one about mowing…oops), and in fact there were instances when the local officials said that we were doing everything right, but they are only reaching out to us because they had so many calls. The year prior, Walking Distance and the owner's house had 0 citations. We’ll never know exactly how much business we lost due to the slander against us. We do know, we lost a lot. Similarly, we’ll never know exactly how much the support of our community has meant. We do know, it meant a whole lot. The support has kept us afloat, and with time, it's made us thrive. We know that we have survived to see another June. And we are ready to celebrate it, in the face of the hate. There would be no pride with no hate. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday for drag BINGO; Saturday for drag brunch; and also visit us on Saturday during Marysville Pride. We have more Pride events this week and month, keep your eyes peeled! And even if it's not a pride related event, we are always inclusive. Oh, and there's a city council meeting next Monday, June 10th at 7PM.

[/text]

Here's some photos of the extremely offensive library display:

They haven't given a call to action yet.

So anyways, that's what's happening in a nearby town. Marysville's pride event is this weekend and if you'd like to show up for local queers its going to be a very fun time.

I'm thinking of grabbing some of my local gays and giving them our patronage, of course. Its somewhat unrealistic to ask strangers on the internet to do take a hike all the way to Ohio for drag bingo.

So I think I would just like to call attention to it- if this is happening in our area, its probably happening in yours too. If you were thinking of attending a drag show but were on the fence about it, I think you should. They're a fun time.

Being involved in the queer community can be as simple as attending a drag show. Or going to a silly queer-focused event. Or supporting a queer-owned business. Every little bit of support for your queer community counts!

literally can't believe this homophobic shit... i read that Cemetery Boys book because my trans (tif) friend loved it and asked me to read it, it basically tells the story of a teenage tif from a family where women and men have different powers who wants to prove her family that she is a boy and so that she has the powers men of this family have. she keeps calling herself gay which is fucking annoying but the worst thing is that she meets a GAY boy and they end up together 🙃 like you have that scene where the boy comes out and says that he never had a girlfriend because he's gay, the tif is happy because of course it means that he can be attracted to her right? and in that same scene she does her coming out too, in a very emotional line she blushes, is nervous and says "er... well, i, i like boys too" as if it was an intense moment and an important annoucement lol. everyone listen, this teenage girl says she's attacted to boys, how touching! later in the book he falls in love with her and they kiss and start dating 🙃 calling their relationship gay 🙃 so in 2024 it's totally normal and accepted to write a book that is basically homophobic propaganda saying that gay men can fall in love with women... great 🖕🏽

[xoladybella]

follow-up to the ask regarding Tif saying she knew Jan 2024 Luke was serious about Antonia. Ok, if that was the case why was she making edits for Nic and Luke being in love and being a shipper? If she knew this about Luke, she would have said, I’m making cute Polin edits but Nic and Luke are friends. Bc she did not do this. Her fan based grew bc she was a shipper of Nic and Luke then changed. Which, is fine if you change your mind but it’s not ok to lie. For the longest I have been trying to figure out why people didn’t like her other than being creepy but now I see she is a liar. She just lied on this post but people, I mean her minions, just believe what she says. She does not now Nic or Luke but likes to give the impression she does.

🎯🎯 right on the spot anon! Exactly! If they were so in love and she was so sure about them being together why make Lukola edits? Im sure at the start she was a shipper but as she grew a bigger following she started doing it just to gain likes. Since then she does whatever is popular in the moment and has an ego the size of the sun. What’s worse is that not only does she act like she knows them irl but she puts Nicola in jeopardy by exposing her real time location. She’s not a fan. She’s in for the attention and thrives off of it, whether it’s positive or negative.

FEATURE: Anik-anik to Win it: Ang Kwento sa Likod ng Koleksyon

Anik-anik here, anik-anik there, anik-anik everywhere! Sa bag, sa ID, sa kwarto, sa damit—kahit saang sulok, may anik-anik na nakasabit o naka-display. Para sa iba, simpleng abubot lang ito. Subalit para sa mga kolektor, bawat piraso ay may kwento at halaga! Ano nga ba ang mayroon sa mga maliliit na bagay na ito at bakit ‘di natin maiwasang mangolekta? Tara! Alamin natin ang kwento sa likod ng anik-anik collection.

Nagmula sa salitang "anu-ano" ang terminong anik-anik na nangangahulugang kung anu-anong bagay na pagmamay-ari ng isang tao. Sa kasalukuyan, dumalas ang paggamit ng salitang “anik-anik”; binigyan pa nga ito ng mas tiyak na kahulugan ng karamihan bilang accessories sa iba't ibang bagay. Kung ikukumpara sa mga nakaraang henerasyon, maaaring tumutukoy ang anik-anik sa iba’t ibang bagay—mga figurine, rosaryo, vinyl records, at kahit lalagyanan o plastic bag ay kinokolekta nila. Ang ideyang ito ay matagal nang lumalaganap at mas binigyang kahulugan lamang ng makabagong henerasyon. Kamakailan, nauso at bumenta lalo sa mga kabataan ang mga blind box na naglalaman ng random na disenyo ng isang karakter—ilang halimbawa nito ay Labubu, Sonny Angel, Hirono, Smiski, Mofusand, at iba pa. 

Ngunit sapat na ba ang kahulugang ibinigay rito upang lubos na maunawaan ang koneksyon ng tao sa mga anik-anik? Upang mas maintindihan ang ideya ng pangongolekta, kinapanayam namin ang ilang estudyante ng UPIS na nangongolekta ng mga anik-anik.

Karamihan sa kanila ang nangongolekta simula noong sila’y bata pa lamang, habang ang ilan naman ay nagsimula nang mas naging tanyag ang mga anik-anik sa ating bansa noong taong 2023 at 2024.

Ayon kay Caia Odulio ng 7-Earth, naimpluwensiyahan siya ng kaniyang mga nakatatandang kapatid na mangolekta. “Kapag lumalabas kami, lagi ko silang nakikitang bumibili [ng anik-anik], at over time, binibilhan na rin nila ako,” aniya. Para naman kay Tiffany Marquez ng 8-Honeybee, isa sa mga naging rason ng kaniyang pangongolekta ay ang pagiging patok sa madla ng pagkakaroon ng mga anik-anik. Ika ni Tif, “Naimpluwensyahan lamang ako nang maging uso kamakailan.” Ayon sa kaniya, nang maramdaman niya ang pag-reconnect sa mga kinagigiliwang gawain noon—tulad ng pangongolekta ng makukulay na aksesorya at pagdidisenyo nito—unti-unti itong naging bahagi ng kaniyang identidad. Sa kasalukuyan, ang mga pabitin at alahas na dati'y laruan lamang ay nagsisilbing dekorasyon sa katawan at simbolo ng kaniyang personal na estilo.

Sumasang-ayon sa sagot ni Tif, ani naman ni Arianne Pablo ng 10-Narra, “Noong pandemya, sumikat sa social media ang mga anik-anik tulad ng mini figures, keychains, at button pins, at isa ito sa mga nakapaghikayat sa akin na mangolekta—ngunit bago pa man ito nauso ay nangongolekta na ako dahil sa ugali kong sentimental.”

Tulad kay Arianne, mayroon ding sentimental value kay Nica Lagradilla ng 11-Alcala ang mga kinokolekta niyang anik-anik. “Bukod sa kung regalo ito, at naaalala ako ng isang tao sa pamamagitan ng anik-anik, o may halaga sa akin ang taong nagbigay nito, usually mayroon ding memory na naka-associate sa mga anik-anik ko,” pagpapatuloy niya.

“Ex-best friend ko…”, tugon ni Cassius Andaya ng 9-Xenon nang tanungin kung sino ang nag-udyok sa kaniya sa pangongolekta ng mga anik-anik.

Ika naman ni Esther Gabuat ng 12-Kagalingan, kahit ang mismong presensya lang ng mga anik-anik ay nagbibigay-tuwa sa kaniya. “Sadyang natutuwa lang ako kapag nakakakita ako ng mga anik-anik kaya ako nagsimulang mangolekta,” aniya.

Maliban sa kasiyahang dala ng anik-anik, may higit pa itong dulot para sa mga estudyante. Sa pamamagitan ng pagbuo ng mga koleksyon, naipapakita nila ang kanilang mga katangian na sumasalamin sa kanilang buong pagkakakilanlan at nagsisilbi itong tulay upang makakonekta sa mga taong may kaparehong hilig. Para kay Arianne, naipapakita nito ang pagmamahal nilang magkakaibigan sa bawat magkakaterno nilang anik-anik; nagbibigay-inspirasyon din ito sa kaniyang paglikha ng sariling mga disenyo. May nakasabit na memorya sa bawat anik-anik na pagmamay-ari nila—lugar man na napuntahan o mula sa mga taong nagbigay nito sa kanila.

Sa mga kolektor, tulad ng aming mga nakapanayam, ang bawat anik-anik na kanilang pagmamay-ari ay may taglay na alaala. 

Ibinahagi ni Caia ang kaniyang button pin na may nakalagay na “UPIS Pep Drummers” ay isang simbolo ng pagiging bahagi ng komunidad. "Feel ko po na part ako ng team o komunidad, dahil nakasulat na po siya on paper or in this case, on a pin," aniya. 

Nagkaroon naman si Tif ng isang keychain na kaniyang napanalunan sa claw machine. “Nalaglag din ito kaagad dahil hindi maganda ang kalidad ng keychain…sayang at maraming nasayang na load mula sa Timezone card,” ika niya. Naipapakita rito kung gaano kahalaga ang isang anik-anik—simple man o kakaiba. Naging memorable ang keychain, hindi lamang dahil sa kaniyang nagastos dito, kundi sa danas kung paano niya napagtagumpayang makuha. 

Ayon kay Cassius, "Mayroon akong special na pin na binigay sakin ng ex-best friend ko na nasa ID ko pa rin kahit nag-F.O. (friendship over) na kami." Ang button pin na iyon ay isang simbolo ng pag-alala sa kaniyang dating kaibigan.

Para naman kay Arianne, naging malapit sa kaniyang puso ang lalagyanan niyang hugis-pusa. "Ang lalagyan na hugis pusa... si Toro Inoue... isa ito sa mga pinakaunang binili ko noong pandemya," aniya. 

Itinuturing naman ni Nica bilang isa sa mahahalagang anik-anik ang evil eye at four-leaf clover phone charm na gawa ng kaniyang matalik na kaibigan. Ika niya, "Ang pagtaboy ng bad juju (malas) at pag-welcome ng good luck sa buhay ko at sa aming pagkakaibigan ay something that I really value."

Ibinahagi naman ni Esther ang kaniyang mga anik-anik na nakuha bilang freebies sa concert at mga pasalubong galing sa kaniyang kaibigan. 

Sila rin ay may karanasan na sa paggawa ng sariling mga anik-anik tulad ng keychains, phone charms, button pins, at stickers. Katulad ni Arianne, siya ay may negosyong anik-anik—nagbebenta siya ng mga customized button pins na may laking 1.5 inches sa halagang dalawampung piso sa pamamagitan ng pre-order form na matatagpuan sa kaniyang business account sa Instagram na @solaris.pins.

Sa pagkolekta ng mga anik-anik, mayroong mga nag di-DIY o "Do It Yourself", nagko-customize, at ginagamit ito bilang accessories sa pananamit. Ganito naipapakita ng bawat estudyante ang kanilang pagkamalikhain sa simpleng pamamaraan. Isa na rito si Caia na gumagawa ng phone charms at keychains bilang paraan ng pagpapakita ng kanyang personal na estilo. Samantalang si Tif, na nahilig sa paggawa ng keychains mula sa mga stuffed toys, ay nagpapamalas ng kaniyang pagkamalikhain sa pamamagitan ng pagtatahi at pag-customize. Hindi rin magpapahuli si Cassius, na nag-eksperimento sa paggawa ng mga pins mula sa tansan. Si Esther, na mahilig sa pagko-crochet, ay gumagawa naman ng mga crochet keychains. Si Nica naman ay nakapagdisenyo na ng mga personalized stickers at gumagamit naman siya ng beads upang makagawa ng mga phone charms at bracelet. 

Higit pa sa positibong dala nito sa mga kolektor, isang tulong din ang pangongolekta para sa mga mayroong maliit na negosyo o nagbebenta ng mga anik-anik. Sa pamamagitan ng pagbili, bukod sa pinansyal na tulong sa manininda, nagbibigay-suporta rin ito sa mga sariling sikap sa paggawa ng anik-anik. Bukod sa paggawa at pagiging bahagi ng koleksyon, pinapatunayan din ng mga anik-anik na kahit pa maliit na mga bagay ay nagkakaroon ng malaking halaga sa ating buhay. Hindi rin nakabatay sa presyo ang halaga ng isang anik-anik, kundi sa kolektor nito at kung paano niya ito pahalagahan—mapa-simpleng keychain man o figurine. Maubos man ang espasyong paglalagyan ng koleksyon, patuloy pa rin ang interes ng mga kolektor sa pag-iipon ng mga anik-anik, dahil bukod sa pagiging palamuti, nagsisilbi rin itong alaala, inspirasyon, o simbolo ng personalidad ng isang tao. 

Bagaman kasalukuyang sikat ang mga anik-anik, matagal na itong nagbibigay ng kasiyahan, aliw, at pakiramdam ng koneksyon sa ating sarili at sa mga alaala ng ating karanasan. Ang pangongolekta ay isang simpleng paraan ng pag-alala at pagbuo ng koneksyon sa ating sarili at kapwa. Hindi lamang ito uso—isa itong paalala na tayong lahat ay may kaniya-kaniyang kwento na nais ingatan, bigyang-halaga, at ibahagi.

I have a sort of conspiracy theory about liberal feminism that I need to get off my chest. The whole "pick me vs girls girl" culture is actively creating TiFs.

Women who don't fit into certain standards society holds have been shamed for it since the beginning of time, but now rejecting femininity is being seen as anti feminist. Girls who aren't even putting down other women are called nlogs and pick me's just because they're awkward and kind of tomboyish.

Look at Jlaw. She was shamed out of the public eye for acting like an actual human and not a walking caricature of womanhood (eating pizza and falling down on the red carpet). There's an audio going around being mocked on tiktok where a woman rightfully says "I don't like makeup. I think it's bad for women". I've seen nasty comments under Korean feminist insta posts where the women in question are smashing their makeup or wearing comfortable clothing and talking openly about it.

I genuinely think this is the reason why a lot of girls believe themselves not to be female. Since it's shameful and cringy to not be feminine as a woman in the year of our Lord 2024, it would logically be better to think of yourself as a man or some in between thing. Tomboys are basically an endangered species at this point and it's really really sad. Little girls aren't climbing trees or playing in the mud. They're playing with skincare and makeup. I truly feel like I'm living in a black mirror episode and it's scary.

Sorry for the long winded rant. I'm semi crypto on main and wanted to put this out there. I dunno why I sent this to the "I want to make a milkshake out of copia's cum" account but I don't really know anyone else who gets insane anons like you do. x

i think youre right though, there is definitely a backlash against feminism right now that comes in the form of hyper femininity and capitalism.

if you dont wear makeup, youre a childish loser who needs to learn how to put on eyeliner. if you dont shave, encourage other women to not shave, youre bombarded with women with "sensory issuee" and are just as bad as a patriarchal man. if you dont like pink, you have internalized misogyny. if you say anything about how high heels damage your feet, youre shaming women. if you talk about how womens clothes are made worse than mens, just go shop in the mens section! stop doing anything, stop going against the quo, let women do what they want! dont question anything!

and in more recent years, ive been seeing the evidence of this seeping into girls younger and younger. we now have little girls begging for drunk elephant and sephora items, to shop where the adult women shop. honestly i didnt even know what drunk elephant was until i saw a girls christmas list on here. theyre spending adult with a job money on products, whether it be from saved allowances and or from their parents. i just saw a video about a 9 year old girl getting bullied for having a tumbler from walmart and not one of the expensive trendy stanley cups. there was always an issue with bullying over not having name brand but i feel like its gotten so much worse. and thats not even talking about the "skincare" aspect of it.

theres so much to say about this but they really did rebrand capitalism as being woman positive though.

Tif is pushing lutonia love story so much for some reason. The theory of her being in cahoots with A could be true.

Very strange tif is talking a lot about how in love Lutonia are. And says they have been in love since pfw 2024 🤔 I think she’s cahoots with A too.
