From: OUTspoken Date: April 24, 2020 Subject: I Am Once Again Writing Newsletter
Molly set our electric stove on fire. We didn't think that was possible.
Here's a picture. Yeah, she was just trying to boil some water and then I look up from my laptop and see a fire. So of course I said "Wait! I need to take a picture," and then proceeded to take two pictures while we tried to figure out how to put out the fire. While simultaneously praying that the smoke detector and sprinklers didn't go off. This is proof that gays can't cook. Also my first thought after it was put out was "Now I know what to write in the newsletter!" because I was having writer's block for a solid half hour at least.
Just some events I wanted to highlight here. The Q Center Open Door Hangout is one I've put in past newsletters, but there's also a new thing we're doing called Queerantine Connection. I'm just gonna be lazy and say that if you want more details you can click the event link because it has all the info. Also Rainbow Graduation is still happening, but it'll be a virtual event this year. Even if you're not graduating, you're more than welcome to join and support the rest of the community's graduating seniors! If you're graduating member of the LGBTQ+ community, you can register for the rainbow graduates video and for a copy of Queerbook.
Also, I'm sure most of you have seen the thing about the library plans and the new building, and how there were no gender neutral bathrooms on the plans. OUTspoken is keeping an eye on this, and today at the SG Senate meeting, Ryan made sure to bring it up. Here's a link to the recording of the meeting, (interpreted and captioned. I'm not gonna share videos that aren't accessible, who do you take me for?) and Ryan asks about the gender-neutral bathrooms at around the forty minute mark.
Yikes, this is another late one. I had a pretty bad anxiety day, and that sort of delayed things a bit. Anyway, I'm gonna go and try to write/not have an anxiety attack/play video games/go to bed early because I have been so tired the last few weeks it's crazy.
