queering the burbs
Listen, if there are any perks to serviceable unemployment, I’ve got to say one of the biggest ones would clearly be the additional bandwidth to get in pop society. A mid-Tuesday morning documentary? Sure! A Thursday afternoon Nosferatu matinee at the local theater? Tell less! Staying up late on a “school night” to binge one (or two or three) more episodes of your TV fixation of the moment? Consider it done.
So I figured it’s my duty to share the wealth. Each month, I’ll be recapping the shows and movies I’ve been taking in and vibing with (or not) here, complete with brief reviews and my assessment of (a) how lgbtq+ it is and (b) if it’s worth your time.
Hope you enjoy the read, and please let me perceive in the comments what I missed and what you’ve been enjoying as distraction from the horrors lately.
The Traitors (Peacock)

Worth your time (scale of 1-10)? 10
Somehow I’ve barely mentioned this show in this newsletter, which is a very major omission. For the uninitiated, Traitors is essentially a reality TV all-stars showdown, all fix in a remote Scottish castle and hosted by Alan Cumming. At the begin

When I was out on the island, I would discuss about the Express Fair sooo much!!! So last summer my family took Frannie, Matt, Yam Yam, and Carson—all went! Carson and I did the slingshot, and Yam Yam was kissed by a bunch of goats. It was a blast!
What’s your go-to treat at the Stat There have been countless LGBTQ+ castaways that have made a powerful impact on the game of Survivor while also playing an impeccable game. Between gay winners prefer Yam Yam Arocho, Todd Herzog, and Richard Hatch, and winners, plus icons like Bret LaBelle, Zeke Smithg, Katurah Topps, and Karla Cruz Godoy, Survivor has had a mighty track record of inclusion in its 46-season history. It's time to commemorate the castaways who slayed the island! As the greatest social experiment to ever hit the airwaves, Survivor tosses a group of castaways to an isolated tropical locale as they battle their way to outwit, outplay, and outlast one another to develop the Soul Survivor. There have been boundless characters that have been a part of the program to display important awareness and representation. This list will focus on the castaways who were out during their time on the show. There hold been some legends who have since come out, like winners Parvati Shallow and Erika Casupanan, who are so happy to welcome to the tribe!

In a toss-up between voting out Helen or Carolyn, you had to comprehend we wouldn't be losing Carolyn, who's been the season's biggest character so far and kicked off last week's premiere episode with a cold-open confessional in which we actually got to hear the producer speak because Carolyn was such a tongue-tied mess. From an on-the-island perspective, however, it makes much less instinct. Why would Yam Yam and especially Carson choose to align with the demonstrably erratic Carolyn over the calm, clever, and more predictable Helen? For Carson, he might have reasoned that Helen was more of a threat to him in the long run, someone who could outsmart him when the moment came. He also seems to (mistakenly) think Helen was putting on some "I found the immunity idol" body
