Someone mentioned their location in a post the other day and it got me wondering what part of the world we’re all from. I think I’ve mostly spoken to Europeans which is a surprise.

I’ll go first! I’m in the South of the UK on the coast. We’re having a rare sunny day so I’m writing this on my lunch break on the beach 🏖️

    Canadian here - all the way over on the west coast in Vancouver. The air is yellow with smoke as the province and a lot of northwestern Canada burns down, but things could be worse.

      This you?

      But seriously, that sounds terrible I hope you and all you loved ones are safe. I’d really like to visit Canada, it looks beautiful and I imagine the cities are quite fun too.

      Isn’t the air quite think with smoke or that way anyway with all the weed?

      I’m in Portland, Oregon and we’ve been getting a lot of your smoke the last week. It got pretty bad, though I’m sure nothing like what you’re dealing with.

        I remember seeing the sun clearly as a pink dot in the sky last week because of it. Wild.

        If you’re a fan of Improv, The Talkies is a really fun one! For drag, I really enjoyed Ginava’s Messy Friends.

        Have seen a few queer stories which have also been quite nice. Once a friend showed me how you can search by categories on the Edfringe website, it’s been so much easier finding these.

        If I remember, I’ll report back, but I’m going to see a musical about Alan Turing, and a solo performance called Buff about an overweight guy who gets an Instagram model as a room mate played by Pearse Egan.

        You’re not kidding. Dunno if you saw that dancer who was killed for just being gay and vogueing… so weird and a little scary that bros can’t just be themselves.

          Yeah I read about that over here. Crazy that he was just having fun with friends and that’s how it ended up.

          It is definitely a bit scary, I’m feeling it less in the UK as a gay guy but it’s picking up here too along with the anti trans aggression. I work for an lgbt+ organisation and we’re having to keep taking steps to protect ourselves, can’t imagine what it must be like for some people over your way

    So far everyone is basically from Europe or NA, I’ll break the trend and say I’m proudly a Gaysian who’s born, raised and currently living in Asia 😁

    Another Brit bro here, living between Norfolk and Suffolk due to work and relationship. Hoping to change jobs soon to make that just Norfolk though.
