Leery

to be cautious or wary due to some realistic suspicions you have; guarded; wary; careful

@sbmakesstuff.bsky.social

We watched Queens of the Dead tonight and I really enjoyed it. I'm always a little leery of drag in pop culture and the ways that it can get squeezed into a cis-het friendly shape but, to use Amabel's words, this felt like it had an authentic queer texture.

Also, holy crow, Dre. 🔥

No matter how bad the main BBC news gets, it pales into comparison against Newsbeat, their radio news on music stations. Newsbeat is about level with GB News for right-wing propaganda and spin, which is really dissonant on these stations.

Go google Joe Biden and look at those headlines! So what does @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social do to assuage Trump fee fees? They run some propaganda piece using an anonymous quote from “a veteran Democratic strategist“ to claim that nobody wants to associate with him. 😜
