Hi everyone,

So, as you may or may not know, The Good Doctor is airing its last season.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about this show, so I was skeptical about watching it. However, my skepticism turned into anger as I came across THIS.

Freddie Hiemore isn’t even autistic himself. Another bad representation for us autistic people. And the fact that this was supported by and hate group makes it even worse. I found another article explaining the ableism and inaccuracy of said group.

Anyway, I’m happy the show is ending. Young Sheldon too. I don’t like it when the media makes autistic people so smart like savants, or to an offense way of portraying those with level 2-3 autistic people.

The media really needs autistic actors to play autistic people. They know what it’s like to be autistic and the struggles they can go through.

That’s all I had to say. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

a coming of age novel for twentysomethings...

hey kids! do you like coming of age novels...about adults? 

my novel, True Rock, is currently available on AO3 for your reading pleasure.

I’ve posted Chapters 1-12 so far and updating with a new chapter every weds. 

here’s what the story is about: 

Heather Fellaway never got to be a kid. Matthew Yin never got over his childhood. Tom Beckett never grew up.

Now, in their mid-twenties, Heather, Matthew and Tom lead not-so-satisfying adult lives as teachers (and friends) at Alameda Senior High School. That is, until Tom hatches the so-ridiculous-it-might-just-be-brilliant idea of starting a rock band.

But there's a catch: none of them know how to be rock stars...or even musicians for that matter. And a blossoming love triangle between Tom, Heather and the Perfect Guy (TM) threatens to derail their musical dreams altogether.

With themes of multicultural identity, overcoming the past and an enduring love for the music of Queen & Shakira (forever), True Rock is a heartfelt coming of age story for grown-ups...with a rock and roll twist.

so do ya girl a solid and take a read! maybe even like and follow and stuff if you’re so inclined. go on! ;)

About Queer History

It's terribly tragic to me, the way every one of the men on the photos is hating himself for being gay. You can see it in their eyes, how they are afraid and heartbroken, thinking something is wrong with them, thinking no one can ever accept them. That, I think, is the reason why queer history is so important. Their pain cannot be forgotten. Their guilt still lives with so many people.

I, for one, feel very seen in these movies, and I know a lot of people do, too. They live in countries where being gay is not legal, or same-sex marriage is not legal, or queer relationships are frowned upon by a vast majority of the country's population.

The fact that there are people who genuinely believe that being gay was invented with this generation is further proving my point. We need to teach queer history for those people. And for the people who suffer with feeling alone. Let them know they were never alone, since the beginning of mankind.

Why Bowie had to say the Lord's Prayer for pal Craig

by LIZ MOORE

SUPERSTAR David Bowie yesterday told of the sadness which led him to sink to his knees and pray on the stage of the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

Bowie recited the Lord's Prayer before an audience of millions in a very public show of compassion for the private plight of a close friend, Craig, who is dying from Aids.

“He was in my thoughts as I watched the concert and I knew that I wanted to send a message to him,” Bowie revealed.

“I had no idea of what I was going to say until just before I went on stage.

“Something made me think of the Lord’s Prayer and it seemed to me that it would be the most direct way of reaching him with integrity. It just felt like the right thing to do.”

Before he flew out of Heathrow for New York, the 46-year-old rock star said: “Craig is someone who my assistant Coco and I have known for many, many years and who has tragically been toppled by Aids.

“He does not have long to live, I'm afraid.”

It was largely because of Craig that Bowie took part in the star-studded Easter Monday tribute to Freddie Mercury.

Bowie stunned the audience when he interrupted the music to pray for the victims of Aids, mentioning Craig by name.

Before he flew out Bowie vowed to keep Craig's personal details secret.

“He's a private individual, nothing at all to do with the music business or entertainment.

“I think because of that, it would be totally unfair of me to reveal his identity or any more information about him. It's vital that his anonymity is preserved.”

Asked if he was involved in caring for Craig, he said: “Coco and I are constantly in touch with him.”

Before the show, Bowie revealed that his friend's plight had spurred him into taking part.

On stage Bowie said: “This tribute is for our very good friend Freddie and also to our friends, your friends and possibly members of your family who have been troubled by this relentless disease.

“To all the people watching and to my friend Craig, I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone.”

Yesterday, Bowie said he was satisfied the concert had succeeded in getting across the message of Aids awareness, as well as being a fitting tribute to Freddie Mercury.

“I think enough of the performers said enough about the issue to nail down the seriousness of this horrific disease.

“And it was an absolutely splendid show.”

Bowie's agent Alan Edwards added: “Craig is obviously someone he knows outside the music world. He won't divulge any more about him.”

Concert organisers and Aids workers yesterday began the task of deciding how to allocate the estimated £20 million raised by the show.

The money, which came mostly from film and television rights, merchandising profits and public donations, will go to Aids charities to boost the battle against the disease.

Stars club together for King of Queen

THE stars who rocked the fans at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert later danced until dawn at a party in his memory.

The flamboyant Queen singer's spirit lived on as band members Brian May and Roger Taylor joined Liza Minnelli, Cindy Crawford and George Michael.

Earlier, as the 72,000-strong crowd filed slowly from Wembley Stadium, a fleet of limousines whisked the stars to exclusive Browns club in London's Covent Garden.

The champagne flowed as the guests swapped stories about the Queen front man who died of Aids in November.

The celebrities toasted the success of the concert which looks set to raise £20 million for Aids charities worldwide.

George Michael, dressed from head to toe in black, stayed until the early hours of the morning at the club where he is a regular customer.

He spent a long time chatting to Cabaret star Liza Minnelli, who was still flushed from her emotional performance.

She led the finale with a version of Queen hit We Are The Champions.

Drummer Roger Taylor was escorted by stunning girlfriend Debbie Leng, who was dressed in figure-hugging black leather shorts and jacket.

And Queen guitarist Brian May took his girlfriend Anita Dobson, dressed in a black bolero hat and black lace dress.

Joining them were EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth — enjoying her first big night out since the birth of her daughter Jessica three months ago — and her boyfriend Geoff Knights.

Paul Young and his wife Stacey left their daughter Levi with a babysitter.

Seal arrived with a new image. Gone were the trademark black leather trousers. Instead he wore a loose fitting white suit and glasses.

Wild Guns 'n' Roses frontman Axl Rose arrived without his usual posse of burly minders.

Still on a high from his concert success, he chatted to Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott.

“The atmosphere was fantastic because everyone was still buzzing from the concert,” said one guest.

“They played really up music all night long, and the dance floor was absolutely packed the whole time.

“They played a couple of Queen tracks and everyone went wild.

“The general feeling was that everyone should go wild and have a really good time because it's what Freddie would have wanted. He wouldn't want people sitting around moping about him."

However, one star was missing. “Everyone noticed that Elton John was particularly quiet backstage at the concert,” said an organiser.

“I think he found the whole thing rather upsetting because he loved Freddie very much.

“I don't think he could face going to a huge party.”

But for the party-goers the night was the ideal way to remember the life of the man who loved celebrations.

As he left, Roger Taylor summed up the mood: “Freddie would have loved it.”

Today, on 23rd February, 1987

Freddie Mercury released his 7th solo single ”The Great Pretender”/ "Exercises In Free Love" - Successful, reaching No4 in charts.

David Wigg: Do you feel in um, that you have been, that you're, you said you feel you're re-living your life, do you feel you've been the big pretender?

Freddie Mercury: Basically it's, it's what the song really says is a very sort of one to one basis about, that he's pretending because she's um, gone, but he's still pretending that she's still around, basically that's (David: yes) but I thought that you could sort of take it a lot further in, just in the word 'pretender', (David: yes) so that, so that pretence, and for me, the way I'm doing this is that, you know it's tongue-in-cheek and not to take everything too seriously, that all these sort of visuals and these sort of, these images that I've portrayed over the years, is a kind of pretence, because I mean there's no way that I was real on stage, these, I, I wore costumes and I sort of put myself into different atmospheres and different characters, but underneath all that there is a real me which, you know, so, so I just thought why not, you know, I, I've been pretending all this time, you know, doing all this stuff, wearing my bananas on my head, you know, coming on peoples shoulders, wearing glitter, doing this, doing glam, wearing, you know, wearing, it was all, kind of thing, and it's, it's a kind of pretence, yes, whereas I mean, you know, underneath it I'm still, you know, a musician and so I thought I'd, I'd bring it up to the, in that level, where all these sort of costumes, where a lot of people took it so seriously, well I didn't, you know, give a damn, I just thought my God, you know, and they read far too much into it, I just thought that this is a nice way of sort of um, covering this whole sort of era of mine, call it, and um, say that look, it, it's just been a bit of fun, you know actors don't, I know, they portray somebody, they don't become those people, they go back and do something else, you know

Songs:

- ”The Great Pretender” cover version of The Platters’ 1955 original

- "Exercises In Free Love" written by Freddie Mercury / Mike Moran

Written by Freddie as his impersonation of Montserrat's vocal style. She was so enamored with the song that she insisted on recording her own version. The melody was later reused for 'Ensueño', with a set of lyrics written by Montserrat
