The Last of Us and The Search for Queer Dignity
As far as the game goes, the relationship between Bill and Frank is inconsequential. Bill is a toughened-up survivalist who sets traps, guides you through scary buildings like a good NPC, and makes you laugh by being unpleasant, but in a quirky way. When you leave him behind, you’ll either remark how fun that little session of Bill’s Town was, or you’ll just mindlessly move on to the rest of the game.

Not Getting Away With Anything
Hello! My name is Calla, I use she/they pronouns, and I live in Los Angeles, California. I am the writer and creator of Coming of Queer. My aim with this blog series is to promote the depoliticization of queer folks like myself. I doubt very much that this blog will ever make it anywhere, but I know that it will make me feel better on a personal level. I hope you stick around and either demystify trans folks or find a soothing place to land for yourself here in these stories.

It had been years since Alex had changed their password. They had been too scared, too scared of what might happen if someone found out their secret. But as they sat in front of their computer, staring at the login screen, they knew that it was time to reset their password.

Conquering Elements: A Haiku Series on Overcoming Challenges and Finding Love in the LGBT Community
In ancient Greece, love was seen as a force of nature, akin to the elements themselves. And, in this haiku series, we see that love is indeed an elemental force, burning fiercely like fire, flowing adaptably like water, taking root and thriving like earth, and soaring freely like air.
