because of anti-D adjustment issues, i've missed at least two instalments of monthly queer (ok, LGBTQ) book club hosted by the public library. i went tonight, and there were new faces

for the most part, it was really good. there was an awesome Black lesbian woman in her late fifties with great historic hindsight on stuff happening in this city back in the ’70s and ’80s

but a cis white butch a few years younger than me came in just after i did & sat next to me. and for nearly the entire night, the tension between us was palpable. i could almost feel her bristle the couple of times i brought up radterfs in the discussion
