I did not have the mental energy to make any new pride month stuff this year, but if you find yourself wanting some themed dragon stickers and want to buy them from a queer nonbinary artist, they (and lots of other things) are available on my shop! š

Elder queer here to remind you as Pride begins: people are queer if they say theyāre queer regardless of straight- or cis-passing relationships. And some people canāt be out for various reasons, so be welcoming to all who are supportive.
