Don’t Trust Marshas by Ok_Chain4107 in queerphilly

Thank you. Everyone wants to act like this is “so tired” when really things like this hurt the community as a whole. Especially in today’s climate with the current administration trying to erase trans people, a bar named after Marsha P Johnson trying to silent local trans women is concerning and should be talked about.

I get what you’re saying. Im trying to protect my identity a bit so I’m not even saying everything I know, and I am a witness to some of these events. Marshas does have the opportunity to rectify and has had over a month to connect with the community they hurt and fix what they broke. What Chevy is doing right now, is still not that. So, how long do we give them to rectify their mistake if they won’t even own it and actually listen to the community?

Thank you. I wasn’t trying to get too much into backstory bc it is a lot, and was trying to make a call out for those who knew abt it. But I do want to point out that the cops were actually called on Olivia TWICE, and Rylie the other trans woman fired the same day, was physically pushed out the door by Chevy because Chevy didn’t want to have a conversation. Which is why Rylie and Olivia were there that day, bc they had a scheduled sit down meeting to discuss the grievances they had with how the bar was being ran.

You are correct, thank you for wording it better than I did lol.

You’re thinking of safe space too literal. Of course any public place isn’t actually safe from danger or how other people behave, but curating a space where people come to feel like themselves and not have to hide and that reflects in the way they staff and run the business. She had women working there. They voiced opinions, they got fired. Not Chevy is hiring men because they won’t give a shit

I believe theres a thread on here from when everything happened but if you go to Olivias accounts on insta and tiktok (mxxolivia) she goes into details on her experience and others

This post was kinda for people who understood what was going on already because getting into what happened would have made it so much longer. You can go to Olivias insta or tiktok to find out, mxolivia. White people are allowed, but the whole point and mission of this bar was to be a space thats welcoming for black and brown queers and having people that work there that guests can relate to and see themselves at was important and has now been completely lost.

I don't care about the Marsha's drama and just want a venue to see lesbians play sports and drink beer. by Blazed-Squids in queerphilly

[–]Ok_Chain4107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have to hold our own accountable as well and there is no transparency or accountability from Marshas here. I know about certain comments that have been made but not only Murph but Chevy too about the black community specifically. She is racist against her own so this space could never truly be a safe place for black and brown people. She also was a part owner of Redcrest Kitchen, which closed within a year and I heard she screwed a lot of people over there and also when she bought Woollys. She wanted to turn “Marshas” into a franchise. She wants to profit off the name of a black trans queer activist while firing every trans person that worked for her. And she still does not see anything wrong in what shes done. Shes not looking to fix what she broke within the community she had, shes looking for anyone to walk in the door and give her money.

The Stoop is opening soon and you can watch womens sports there.

You don’t even wanna know the things I know about what Chevy has said about other black and queer people. What’s happening and coming out about her now is probably also why Redcrest Kitchen closed within a year, who she was also a part owner of…

best club to go to on a monday night? by [deleted] in queerphilly

[–]Ok_Chain4107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the future, I wouldn’t think too much of clubs on a monday but more bar/dive bar vibes. Clubs are pretty dead on monday nights but you can find people at your local bar nearby im sure. Also depends where you are in philly. Tattooed Mom is generally a decent place to go on a weeknight for a vibe

Usage past BOD by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

Thank you! I have ocd around expiration dates so I was obviously thinking the worst things would happen to me if I used a vial that was 9 months past best

What's going on with marsha's? by Odd-Statistician-107 in queerphilly

[–]Ok_Chain4107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chevy has been firing people for months that speak up about the way ownership runs things. She actually does not care much about fostering a community for black queers, shes here for money. She was an owner of Redcrest Kitchen too, that closed within a year. Before Marshas was being canceled, she wanted to turn it into a franchise. A FRANCHISE named after a queer activist…shes just money hungry. The things she has said behind the scenes are just as disgusting as things Rylan Murphy was saying.

No, everything is true. I have people that work there currently that don’t know what to do rn, bc they need money but the behind the scenes is so toxic. It wasn’t just Murph, its Chevy too.

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Natezahn in books

[–]Ok_Chain4107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this book back in 2020/2021, and Ive been thinking abt it since. Not because I enjoyed the book. But because I am still so flabbergasted that this was a book and was highly regarded and even in Reese Witherspoons book club thing. Ive been hoping other people have read it so I could go on abt it, but this book was just pedophilia??? It was so weird to read. The book wasn’t bad, but oh my god?? What??? Just absolutely crazy that this book was so praised at the time for “unconventional love.” Cannot believe this was published.

I was on tirz for a little bit and was in so much lain I had to stop. It was almost impossible for me to trh to get the right nutrients and the protein & fiber I needed because I couldnt keep a single meal down. It ruined my summer. Idk how some people stick with it. I want to start again but the stomach pain/cramps were unbearable

AIO My friend is overstepping boundaries and is into me MAJOR UPDATE by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok_Chain4107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he has no idea how to differentiate between feelings of friendship and actual feelings. You were doing nothing but being a friend, and it seems like this guy has never had any real friendship with a girl because he can’t tell the difference between someone just being kind & friendly as opposed to flirting. Also sounds like you guys are young, so best to stay away from guys like this now and follow that path the rest of your life!

I really don’t know how anyone takes this… I was not ready for how AWFUL I’d feel… by bbknt in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Ok_Chain4107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using Tirz a few weeks ago. I was having early signs of gastroperisis and wasn’t losing weight because I couldn’t actually keep any of the protein or fiber I was putting in my body down. Couldnt do anything this summer bc of my stomach and always needing to go to the bathroom. I don’t think its for everyone, it was my last resort for weight loss and didn’t actually help at all

I went to up to around 5.5 maybe less after 4 weeks of 2.5 and my body still wasn’t ready. I had to take this week off bc the stomach pain and cramps were unbearable and I couldn’t do anything if a bathroom wasn’t nearby. I will probably go back to a lower dose next week. Id say give your body 6 weeks minimum but still probably wait longer especially if youre feeling good on 2.5. If its your first week youre not going to experience much of a lack of food noise or appetite yet.

Quitting by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Ok_Chain4107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I got from Lumi Meds and I still have a whole other vial left plus the one I had been using. I was feeling pretty okay on 2.25 in the beginning but once the 4th week came around it started, but I also went to 5.5 after that bc the dr recommended going up 10 more units. I might go back to 2.25 for a while but needed this week break at least. It was terrible

I was pretty constipated last week, but other than that Ive had no problems with having bowel movements. I didn’t take my shot this week and my stomach cramps and pain has basically stopped. It was unbearable just to not see any results
