I was writing a loooooong post about what a frustrating interpersonal mire queer events in small towns can be, but I guess the THING is: its wild how many people will use the first 3 sentences they say to a new person, to point out who at the gathering is an irredeemable monster who must be avoided.

It's even wilder how many of these people will then be unwilling to answer the follow up question: "wait, why?"

Like, sorry! I don't want you to have to talk about something horrible when we met 30 second ago! But you brought it up so I do need to know if you're being conflict avoidant about someone who didn't invite you to their wedding or if there's a fucking rapist here or what.

Either someone is in active danger right now and we need to act. Or you're a rude gossip! Please clarify!

#You don't know me! I could be horrible!#The same sense of immediate kinship that makes you divulge this to me just because we're both queer #Is actually the same thing that made you so upset & decide that like - Sam is unforgivable #because they continued living with your ex who cheated on you even though they knew each other thru u in the first place #Or they vetoed your proposal for the film festival's new logo even though you did ALL THE WORK ALL YEAR #Or whatever #Maybe i'm on Sam's side! Maybe I think the logo's dogshit! You don't know me well enough to be telling me your grudges #Whisper networks are for warning newcomers about actual danger. Fucking Christ.#Me Fein #Anyway the picnic was fun. In parts.
