The James Webb Space Telescope is more powerful than anything that has ever been sent into space before, and after 30 years in the making, 1 million miles travelled from earth, 50 successful deployment missions and 10 billion USD spent, it has finally delivered its first full-colour images and spectroscopic data.

I’m able to have conversations with Keanu Fucking Reeves’ ghost whenever I please. Yet, for whatever reason, I am restricted in my pronoun choice, and cannot have anything that isn’t he/she/him/her.

What it means to be an ally is a complicated issue, some people might consider themselves allies simply for not being shitty, ignorant people. Being a meaningful ally is more than just putting a rainbow pin on your clothes when it’s convenient.

The Aotearoa ballroom scene is a captivating community that is created by and for QTPOC. Taking inspiration and giving respect to the mana of the American ballroom scene, Aotearoa has created their own platform that has allowed for the flourishing of queer brown excellence.
