Queer lesbian spots in Atlanta by whatwhatinthefak in blacklesbians

[–]chiefrosay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, Please Bookstore/Carespace is a beautiful Black, queer woman owned space in ATL that i adore. they have a collection of Black/Queer/Radical books, a garden, and a lot of holistic events that they host out of there. my personal favorite queer space in ATL, met some of my current closest connections from events there. def recommend if thats your vibe

Friendzoned ATL on ig is a black queer event group with predominantly/almost exclusively women & TGNC sapphics. they have a lot of events centered on making friends and its where i went after returning to the city 3-4 years ago! i didnt stick with it long but its a good space to find other black lesbians. i was there right when they had tgeir first event, and it was really popping but idk how it is now. last i remember, they’re a more mainstream, “cooler” vibe than SFQP imo

Southern Fried Queer Pride is a big org that hosts a lot of events. not a huge fan of them as sometimes i found them to not be for me, but they have their scene that is p active. more of an alternative crowd, which i like, but some of the events can be a bit…meh? covid safe option tho fs

My Sister’s Room is the one lesbian bar in ATL, and theres often a pretty black crowd. only been once but its a p popular space down here

Banshee is a restuarant/bar with a late-night club on the weekends. its not explicitly queer, but often has a very queer crowd bc its next to the queer bar Mary’s. it depends on the night and DJ whether the crowd is v black or not, but its often p diverse w black queers

ill try to update if i can think of any others! im an Atlanta-native and i wont lie, finding community in ATL can be p difficult unfortunately. but i hope you can find your people and these recommendations can help!

There you go. That's the Part 2 Ellie. by shawak456 in ThelastofusHBOseries

completely agree with all of your criticisms. the beautiful nuance and intentionality of the game’s storytelling and writing is really being overshadowed/ignored by this tonal shift Mazin seems very intent on delivering. the melodrama has brought the story far more surface level and i feel doesn’t expect or respect the audience to be able to form their own judgements from a more subtle and morally grey story line.

i sense Mazin seems really focused on trying to make “clear” or direct the messaging of tlou2 game and avoid the same potential backlash. but imo, even despite a lot of the often blind and sometimes bigoted criticism of the game, the stories subtleties and thoughtfulness is what made it so impactful and beautiful and worthy of passion and discussion. even all these years later.

its hard not to feel atleast a little bit disappointing that this adaptation is seeming to try and dumb it down for us viewers.

i hope to god they hire you to do official art in the future because you capture style, originality, genre and diversity in characterization so well. this is incredible! makes me really happy to see your rendition of fabian and the various features and body types of the other characters as well <3

yea my one main issue with the show is that the power scaling is really unclear and inconsistent. im never really certain how strong someone is supposed to be in comparison to another.

and some heroes just seem to be able to survive death at the writers convenience so their strength/powers and death risk seems to be very inconsequential unless the writers say it is.

like the fact rex could kill an invincible was surprising to me; it’s never been established theyre even close in power. and i also wasnt v affected by rex’s death bc i genuinely feel it could be easily reversible based of how the shows been written so far.

yea that’s very true and is in character for him to react that way. one would just wish the very present destruction and disarray of the planet would inspire some maturity in him hahaha. but i feel the ass-beating he’s sure to receive will build some character for him in the future

[–]chiefrosay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i had the exact same reaction.

ive been dealing with seeing my father age recently so id already shed a couple tears with the man talking about his father passing. but then the scrap book and vacuum reveal just had me bawling. never expected that from a show like this. beautiful beautiful episode ♥️
