I take a liberal approach to what qualifies as drag, but the tl;dr of it is that my criteria for whether a performance is drag are: queerness (the essential ingredient!), performativity, emphasis on visual cohesion, a strong sense of irony/affinity for the deviant (from queer to queer y'know) and last but not least if it would be really funny to categorize them as a drag artist

"Are you still working at the music of yours?
...and how is the cactus?"

There's not much entertainment here that we don't have to make ourselves, so It hasn't been too hard to keep up with. I thought it was fake at first because it doesn't change much, but then a second flower grew. I just hope it doesn't turn into one of the weird ones the Blight is always playing with.
As for music, everything's been much more fun as live performances lately. Though I've written some lyrics and still have the equipment to make tracks if I ask the entity to manifest it. I don't know if anything will reach anyone if I produce music here, but it's nice to have as mementos of my more exciting shows. Probably the same as some of you creepy guys with the photographs.

Santa Cruz understood the importance of being able to see oneself in their culture and the value of identity. Through her work, she was not only able to disavow the way that Blackness was seen, but she redefined Blackness. She refused to accept the position that Peru and the broader American society continuously forced Black individuals into and, by writing and producing plays, allowed others to reject those roles. [x]
